Thread: Pete Carroll is a Dope

    Pete Carroll is a Dope

    Bob Condotta ‏@bcondotta 34m34 minutes ago
    Carroll says they went back last 12 years of NFL and could find no record of batted ball penalty being called.

    Pete needs a table, or to get me on staff. @bcondotta @PeteCarroll

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Pete Carroll is on dope.

    12th Fan Boys are saying Pete "meant" a batted ball penalty occurring in the end zone hit by the defensive player.

    Of what use is that search? The League doesn't train officials like that. You can't officiate like its a trivia contest. They know the general rule and work their way down the exclusions.

    The ex-referee commentator on TV said it was a "judgement call." I think the only "judgement" involved is whether or not the bat was intentional. The commentator went on to say if it had been him he would have taken into account which way the ball was bouncing at the time, i.e., if it was heading out of bounds on its own, he wouldn't have called it. That, to me, is absurd. If it's an intentional bat, then it's a penalty plain and simple.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    So if a D lineman is headed left and I grab his facemark and help him speed up, then its not a facemask?

    I like that caveat.

    I think the official panicked at the confusion of the moment, didn't have the clear head to make a controversial call. He took what he thought was the easy way out - no call at all, rationalize it later.

    So if Evan Dietrich Smith's head is already going into the FieldTurf, then I can help it go in deeper? #Suhhasquestions

    So if Rodger's calf is already getting damaged, I can help it get more injured? Same direction. #Suhhasquestions

    I think this official was more inept than the "Fail Mary" guy. He had a clear view of certain events, even if the implications were slightly obscure. The "inadvertent" explanation is implausible. The Fail Mary official saw guys rolling around on ground fighting for ball, it was not so clear in the moment.

    except to the black official, who was ignored.

    Maybe didn't have the nerve to make the controversial call against the home team. We've seen it before.

    Pete showing again he was not bred for that brain of his.

    Yep. He can come up with a story later after he learned what the rule really was so that way he's got his rationalization post-mortem.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    I'd be pretty mad if I was a Lions fan. They should've had the ball on the 1.

    ...and yes, Pete Carroll is an idiot of near Harbaughian proportions.

  15. #15
    Carroll is much more stupid than Harbaugh. Jim is just a hothead.

    I wouldn't feel too bad. They were outplayed and then blew it at the end. The right call would have been a gift they didn't deserve.

    Shouldn't this go in the "Coaches I Personally Want to Punch in the Face" thread?
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    I think the thread title should have been "Pete Carol is a douche". But that's just my opinion.

    I have to agree with Harv here...the artist formerly known as Megatron should have held onto the damn ball.
