Dick Drago said:I thought the Seahawks started celebrating when they had the ten point lead and let up just a bit. Maybe Pete's rah rah let the guys have fun isn't as effective in that situation. Tough to imagine a guy on the other sideline taking the time to taunt and play to the camera at that point in the game.
When the Pats scored Seattle seemed almost shocked 'oh shit, it's a three point game'.
The Pats didn't roll over, and the Hawks had lost just enough intensity.
Like the Packers did two weeks before. The game is 60 minutes. The players sometimes forget and calamity happens.
