All schtick aside that final sequence has the potential to tear what Carroll and Schneider have been building in Seattle apart at the seams.
If they fed Marshawn Lynch the ball and scored there, not only would they have won a second Super Bowl in a row, but they would have to feel damn near invincible, after the comeback against Green Bay and the amazing play Kearse made to set it up.
Instead, somebody (Wilson, Carroll, Bevell, it almost doesn't matter) makes an ill-advised decision to go away from the identity that Carroll preaches every day--run the ball, be physical, don't turn the ball over--and it is all snatched away in an instant. I can imagine a lot of players wondering WTF happened and bitching about it, and rightly so. I think it has the potential to be really corrosive to the trust and team-first dynamic they have been cultivating.
