The Seattle Seahawks will go down in history not for the Super Bowl win in 2014, but for that unbelievable loss in 2015. We were not ready - quite unprepared actually - for the final play of the game. I was rooting for the returning champs because I just like Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson really. Patriots' Malcolm Butler said he had a "vision" he would make a big play. And he did! He intercepted the ball on a play that should have never been called.
The coach is blaming the players. The players are blaming the coach. Everybody agrees on this though - Seattle should have run the ball. After all, they have Mr. Skittles himself, Mr. "I'm Just Here So I Won't Get Fined" Marshawn Lynch, who by the way, got an offer for a contract extension. Who didn't see that coming?
This entire situation reminds me of the "blame game" that happened back in the Garden of Eden. Check it out from Genesis 3:
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
We can debate who was at fault with Adam and Eve, but does it really matter? They both got cursed and put out of the Garden of Eden. These two are forever infamous...and from the very beginning.
And, guess what? It doesn't matter whose fault the loss was in this Super Bowl. You have to go down in history for something...I guess.
