Don't Throw when you can run it in

One big lesson that can be learned from the Seattle Seahawks loss to the New England Patriots is that you don't have to over complicate things.

Keep it simple.  What about just doing the basics?  What about playing to your strengths?  

You might have lots of options for trying to score, but your judgement could get cloudy.  Over thinking a situation can be real.

Sticking with the basics is sometimes overlooked.  There are complex situations, but the fundamentals and basics are tried and true.

Sometimes it can be hard to keep on doing something that works.  Does it get boring?  It might be the thoughts of innovation that are trying to dominate.

The seattle seahawks have the best running back in the game ( Marshawn Lynch).  They were inside the red zone with plenty of time on the clock.  

They let the clock run down.  They only needed 1 yard to win the game.  The offensive line had been winning in the running game against the Patriots.  Instead of sticking with what was working, they tried to get cute and they blew the whole season ( with the slant in the middle of the field).  

Do you think they made the wrong decision?  Should the Seattle Seahawks have just kept it simple like pop warner 101 basic simple and given the football to Beast Mode?
