Being a state fan and familiar with tin foil hats and conspiracy theories, here is my take.
I don’t think they wanted BEASTMODE to win this game. They don’t want him to be the face of this franchise. If he gets the ball there is no doubt he scores. Then you are talking MVP for BEASTMODE. Then there are contract talks coming up. Funny how sources leaked yesterday of all days that contract talks with BEASTMODE were heating up. What if he scores and grabs his crouch again? NFL wants no part of that either. Lynch would have had nothing to lose if was ejected for that gesture. I don’t know what else to think. I have read every excuse out there from the OC and Pete and none of those reasons. The best was by Pete. He said and I quote that was a throw away play. That is the most BS excuse. How can you have a “throw away play” on the one yard line for the Super Bowl win? Maybe he meant he was running one play to set up another but that still makes no sense. I am having a hard time understanding that call with a rational reason.
