Does Carroll have some compromising pictures of TT?

I think you are making this way way more black and white than it is.

You mean people do that? Perish the thought!

Absolutely! I don't remember who 'you' refers to, but as a general comment I think you're dead on. The problem is that people want solutions that can work very rapidly and 'gray' thinking doesn't offer anything like that, which leads to very uncomfortable frustration. The statement is even more true in the broader world and there are far deeper reasons people get uncomfortable, but the principle is the same.

No question, Carroll played poorly, but give the guy some credit for taking responsibility:

"It was me, not us," Carroll said after the game. "You can put the finger on me. Everything revolved around me. In the second half, they made four plays, three in the third quarter. They were on me. It was not what the team was doing, it was me."

Not exactly the words of a punk.

Good point. I saw that too. And Carroll might well not have been the culprit on one of those plays he blames himself for. He also made some good plays in the first half. Someone acknowledged his tackle of McNabb behind the line, but he also made some very good coverage plays.

Last night was not on his head alone.

I've been as patient with Carroll as anybody, despite the fact that I didn't like him as a 1st round pick... but, as I've said - I've had enough.

Time to cut bait with this guy...

You simply can't have breakdowns in coverage like that... it's one thing to get beat physically, but Carroll is getting beat repeatedly on double moves, poor technique, loose coverage, et al.

Enough is enough...
