I see. I thought that you meant context as in Seattle/NE but it seems that you mean the formation and stuff. I think that what you're saying makes sense now.

Personally I'd give more weight to:

  • The threat of running it from the shotgun.
  • The chances that a SEA receiver gets open vs. that goal line defense.

... and so I still don't think it's an awful decision. I think Wilson should have understood the situation and only made a really safe throw, and so the play call wasn't that risky. But I do agree with you that play action would have been better, especially with a roll out.
