If you're one of the people who thought the Seahawks made the wrong call on their final offensive play of Super Bowl XLIX, Mark Cuban has something he wants to tell you: You're an idiot.

The Dallas Mavericks owner was asked this week about the Seahawks decision to throw a pass from the 1-yard line on their final offensive play of the game. Russell Wilson's pass ended up being picked off by New England's Malcolm Butler.

"Those people that said, 'Oh, it's the worst call ever,' they're idiots," Cuban said, via ESPN.com. "Never take advice from someone who doesn't have to live with the consequences. So what I say is worth what it’s worth, but they've never been in a situation where you’ve got to make a call where everything, literally everything, is on the line. If you're afraid to go with what's gotten you there, you're not long for this league."

We talked about those final, fateful moments of Super Bowl XLIX in the latest Eye on Football Podcast, embedded below (you can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes right here).

Cuban also said that if he owned the team, he would be mad about the loss, but not because of the call.

"If it was me and that happened, I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't be mad at the coach and I wouldn't be mad at the call," Cuban said. "If they ran it and got stopped, I would be mad. Because then that means you p------ out.

Cuban clearly paid attention to the Super Bowl because he pointed out the fact that Chris Matthews, who didn't catch a pass during the regular season, ended up starring for the Seahawks.

"You got to go with what got you there. The randomness of plays, that's what got them there," Cuban said. "The dude that was the impact receiver [in the game] didn't catch a pass all season. So by definition they're not a team that plays to the odds. If you play to the odds, you're going to lose."

Coaches that play to the odds are the ones who don't have jobs for very long, according to Cuban.

"I don’t know if they gave the reason why they called that particular play, but there's a reason," Cuban said. "I'll go with the logic of that reason versus conventional wisdom every day, because the guys who follow conventional wisdom are the ones looking for jobs right now."

Cuban sees eye-to-eye with Billl Belichick, who said earlier this week that the Seahawks coaching staff shouldn't be criticized for the play call.

"Malcolm and Brandon [Browner], on that particular play, just made a great play," Belichick said. "I think the criticism they've gotten for the game is totally out of line and by a lot of people who I don't think are anywhere near even qualified to be commenting on it."
