The execution, which had been lacking pretty much all season, came together in the Indy game. Maybe that could be attributed to better practices once Urban was gone.
As for Seattle and the Super Bowl call. First off, Pete Carroll called for the pass as part of a plan to maximize down and distance. Bev made the playcall, a play that had worked 90% of the time in short yardage situations that season. The main flaw in it was that Lockette drifted too much toward the goalline on his route, allowing Butler the chance for the pick when Wilson threw the pass high.
Marshawn, who had been given the ball the play before and could've scored then, was no certainty to score. His track record in and-1 situations wasn't that great. He could have fumbled, as well.
And I totally disagree about Bevell being pass-happy. But when you're down 20 points at the half or you have no run game because your best back or backs are injured, you have to pass. 
And really when you think of it, who cares this year. You could look at those as good in-game reps for Trevor. The team was going nowhere this year, so why not let Trevor learn while live bullets are flying?

The lengths you'll go to to excuse Bevell's ineptitude is astounding. I'm using my eyes, knee jerk would be week 1 after the texans game. I watched him call plays for like 80% of the season and he was bad, I don't need a boxscore to tell me how inept he was ... we all witnessed it. His playcalling and refusal to run has been a problem even in Seattle when they played with leads and had plenty of talent... your arguments make no sense. The "Let Russ Cook" movement was to oust Bevell, because even with a high pass volume the offense wasn't clicking. What more proof do you need? 

https://detroitjockcity.com/2020/11/13/d...ll-bevell/ It's the same movie here and the ending hasn't changed. Bevell is a bad OC, and his continued presence would have stunted Trevor Lawrence's growth as a QB.

Na, your points are garbage.
If you followed the Seahawks, you'd know their midus operandi was to keep the game close and then strike in the fourth quarter. They'd ground and pound the running game through 3 quarters and then use chunk plays at the end to take command. Fans hated it, but it was a winning formula.

Let Russ Cook was basically the invention of Bevell. Yes, it featured a passing game, the idea keeping Wilson in the pocket to avoid further injury. Wilson, of course, loved it.

And who are you to say Bevell wouldn't have developed Trevor more thsn he did. His track record is pretty damn good at doing that very thing.

I guess the Bevell lover is in the denial step now. They can ask daddy Bevell to draw up some great plays to prove he is good and put them on the fridge.

You must've had your breast milk mixed up with kerosene as a child because you are one weird clucker.
