It was a decent call; it was just a bad result. If they'd given the ball to Lynch, you could also have had a bad result. Marshawn Lynch is no guarantee against failure. And pass plays at the end zone tend to have a fairly high percentage of success. This was just a case of exceptional play by Butler. And that's not the fault of anyone on the Seahawks.
You know I love you but what the actual fark?
Screen passes that close to the end zone are high risk low yield, and when you have the option of handing it off to a bulldozer of a running back, and you have the option of a good scrambling QB who could have done a sweep bootleg, if you are going to pass, would have been more likely to have drawn a cornerback open on the side. There was simply too much traffic. To me the coach calling that would be like telling your Airborne Troopers to jump out of the plane without a parachute. I cannot in good conscious in my lifetime of watching the sport come even close to calling that a good call.
