Not sure what all the hype is about. It wasn't a bad call, it was just poorly executed coupled with an exceptional play by the defensive back. This past season there were 109 passes thrown from the one yard line, 67 went for a touchdown, 46 were incomplete and only one interception which was Russel Wilson's in the Superbowl.
In contrast there were 223 runs from the one yard line, 130 rushes scored a touchdown while 93 rushes failed to score. That means that 61% of passes from the one yard line resulted in a touchdown while on 58% of runs resulted in a touchdown.
I look at it as more of a team sport. If the so called "Legion of Boom" lived up to their own hype of being the greatest secondary in NFL history, they wouldn't have given up 320+ yards passing and 4 touchdown passes to Tom Brady.
