What the hell was there to think about? You have the ball at the one yard line, two time outs and the best running back in football. I see no brilliance and I do not buy the story I read that somehow he "tricked" Seattle into passing. Seattle f-ed up, badly. Period.

As for the non-time out, the rationalizations to me are 20-20 in the rear view mirror. It worked out for him, so no questions were asked. As great a coach as he is, I see it as a lapse.
