Yeah, that's the right way to use your weapons.
A pass wasn't necessarily the wrong call (I'm sure that's what the Pats would have run if the roles had been reversed).
It was just THAT route and THAT targeted wideout that made no sense whatsoever. The congestion in that area was off the charts. The ball could have been batted, all kinds of bad things could--and did--happen.
A roll out by Wilson giving him the option to throw it out of the endzone if he didn't think he could make it would have been the best alternative to handing it to Lynch and using the timeout if he got stuffed (which, if he runs away from Wolfolk, I can't see happening)...
