Did Pete Carroll throw the game so Marshawn wouldn't win MVP ?

This is one of the most absurd conspiracy theories I've seen.
   
Old news I know, it's taken me this long to publicly talk about Seattle's loss. :-[

"In the Super Bowl,  Carroll changed the play to a pass so Russell Wilson would win the MVP award and not Marshawn Lynch."

   I thought it was a good call even though Malcolm Butler did something I would have  never predicted, intercepting Russell Wilson at the goal line.

 Marshawn is still my favorite go to guy for football interviews.  

"Marshawn Lynch asked if he's surprised he didn't get the football. Says "No." I ask him, Why not? Says, "Because football is a team sport." "

  Congratulations to the greatest long term quarterback of my time, Tom Brady, and Congratulations to the Patriots for a great Super Bowl game win.
   
   Congratulations to both teams for the most exciting Super Bowl I have witnessed  and the first Super Bowl I watched every minute of the game.

2nd down from the ONE yard line? With Lynch on your team?

Please. Stop. Now.  

There might be a worse call in NFL, or maybe even sports history, but one eludes me as of this post. Lol

Based on the momentum that Lynch seemed to have, it was a bad call. But, i heard the next day on a sports radio show that the NFL reported that pass play was run 24 times by teams from the 1 yard line last year. The result was 24 touchdowns. Just something to think about.

Great play by Mr. Butler, terrible, atrocious, very bad call by Pete Carroll.

I feel that he just over thought the situation, and should have stayed with the horse that had got him there.  Marshawn is truly a beast!!!
