Monday morning quarterbacking: a favorite pastime in Minnesota, Chicago, Philadelphia, and now apparently, Seattle.

Many people have questioned the wisdom of the final play for the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl last night.

Don’t.

Don’t do it.

The playcalling wasn’t the issue. If the Seahawks had run the ball and failed to get the touchdown, the very same people who are so shocked and appalled that the Seahawks threw a pass on the goal line would be lining up to suggest the perfect pass that would have won the game instead of running the ball.

People are human and imperfect. There were imperfections all over the game. No one is talking about Tom Brady’s two interceptions today. No one is criticizing Bill Belichick’s delay in changing the coverage on Chris Matthews. No one is talking about the imperfections of the officials (although one call in particular I hope will be reviewed since it could have led to a very serious injury for a player). No one is perfect.

I think the most important thing to remember about the Super Bowl XLIX is that it was a great game. Two excellent teams met for the championship. The coaches (and their assistants) were some of the best in the NFL. The players didn’t leave anything in the locker room; they performed at the highest levels on the field. Except for one moment in the final seconds of the game, no one who participated has anything to be ashamed about.

Many people will claim to know how to do it better, but the reality is there are only 32 people in the world that are NFL head coaches.

There is a reason for that.
