I think it was more about Wilson than the bad call. Especially after looking at all the information.

The throw was bad but the call was worse imo. Butler made a great break on the ball.
It is strange though that I hear nobody talking about Wilson throwing the int. Can you imagine if that was Romo? Lmao. He would be absolutely crucified. People are acting like Wilson is a victim. I understand that he does not have a history of choking like Romo, but my God if I had a dollar for everytime i have heard the words bad pass or mistake when referring to Wilsons throw.....well.....id still be piss poor.

I find that strange, too. Carroll and Bevell didn't throw that ball. The QB has to know that in that situation, don't throw a pick! At worst case, live for the next down.

The public and some in the media always give "nice guys/teams" a lot of slack. If Wilson gets credit for winning last year's SB (even though his team was up 29-0 when he actually threw a TD), he should get the blame for this loss.

Still the coaches are not blameless, they should've given Lynch the ball.

99% of the time that kind of throw play is either a catch or a drop. The probability of it being a pic was really low. It is probably the same percent probability that Lynch would have fumbled.

Everyone is just hind-sighting it. Everyone in that stadium figured he go Lynch, they tried to surprise the Pats with a throw. the odds were on the Seahawks side it either be dropped or caught just happen they got the low percent outcome; INT.

Good points. I do want to correct myself and state that Wilson should get some of the blame.

It just seems that other QBs would get all the blame (i.e. Romo), yet for some people make Wilson out to be not at fault for throwing a pick.

There is a history with Romo of effing up in the clutch and Russel Wilson has a history being the man in the clutch (i.e. NFC overtime championship game). Thats probably why Romo would get the blame because he constantly sh*ts the bed.

Well, this time it was Wilson who pooped in the clutch. The reps, they are a-changin'.

Well the reason Wilson had to do all these things in the NFC Championship game, was because of his own doing (4 picks); whereas Romo usually had to carry his team on his back (until this year when they decided to run the ball more). I mean, even Peyton Manning got blamed a lot on that pick-6 in the SB against New Orleans, and he was just as clutch as Wilson (if not better) back then.

As I said before, I just find it interesting that a QB that's given so much credit for wins, gets so little criticism in a loss given the play.

I agree to an extent, but the coaches made the call to begin with and thats why they deserve the most blame. I certainly think Wilson could a have made a better throw, specifically putting the ball on the receiver and not leading him.
