More smart people who agree with me...

Here's the analysis from Five Thirty Eight, the statistical geek arm of ESPN, that backs up my belief that Pete Carroll's play call was completely reasonable at the end of the game...

Mike Sando had the perfect stat for the situation in my opinion, explaining why Carroll's choice wasn't that risky:

teams this season threw 66 TD passes with 1 INT on passes from the 1-yard line. That 1 INT was ... well ... tonight.

And, if Wilson didn't have an open receiver in that scenario - do you really think he was going to get sacked? When all he had to do was chuck it into the stands? Or run around (which, I'm told, he's pretty good at...)?

And by the way - what about that Jermaine Kearse acrobatic catch that led to the game-ending situation? If you didn't think of David Tyree in that situation, you don't empathize with Patriot fans...
