re: Am I the only one who agrees with Pete Carrol's call?

You are on the 1 yard line with a timeout and 2nd down. You have to score a TD. The other coach is not using his timeouts, which is another interesting call that is debatable.

You have one of the best RBs in the NFL, and one of the best running QBs in the NFL and you have two plays for sure. I run it and call TO if you don't make the TD.
I'm sure the thinking was throw a pass and score or it is incomplete and the clock stops giving you two more plays instead of one, because you have a TO still. The DB made a play as it turned out.

I'm still running, because the pick play could have been called offensive pass interference which would have put them at the 16. I would have feared that result more than an interception although it would have been a gutsy flag by an official at that moment.
