Pete Carroll is such a piece of sh*t. The reason why the Packers Seahawks is such a rivalry is because there is simply no respect between the two teams. Seattle is such a garbage franchise. Terrible tone at the top.

Maybe among fans, but the franchises have shared far, far too much to think there isn't respect going both ways there. Obviously we're in a newer era now, but for like two decades, the coaching and front office characters, not to mention some players, have gone back and forth between Seattle and Green Bay. They're all friends with each other. And maybe that's never applied to Carrol, because he isn't in those circles career-wise, but I just think the rivalry really blossomed when there were NUMEROUS connections between the teams, not when there was no respect.

I mean, Ted Thompson, Matt Hasselbeck, Mike Holmgren, John Dorsey, John Schneider, Darrell Bevel.... I mean the churn was eternal


Also, Pete Carroll is a great guy to be around and everyone loves him and he secretly wandered into Compton and Watts to help intervene with gang members to prevent violence for years while at USC before the media found out. But I totally get that his coaching persona is as a p.o.s.

Yeah I thought too it was pretty obvious simultaneous recovery.

That was far more simultaneous recovery than it was a "simultaneous catch" in 2012.

I respect Mike Zimmer. Until the Nagy era, I always at least respected what Chicago was trying to do.

I don't respect Seattle. I respect Wilson, Wagner, a few other players. But by and large that team is a dirty team because they have a dirty and slimy leader. It started immediately in 2012 with the Fail Mary. Then continued in the 2013 preseason game at Lambeau where the Seahawks kept getting personal fouls, etc.

I just have no respect for how they play. I see they try and get energy, etc. but the result often happens of unnecessarily bad things happening. What pisses me off though is Carroll got rewarded for it. Never have I seen a team get more balls to bounce their way.

All that being said, I hope they beat the Cardinals this Sunday.

What is kinda funny is I haven't heard/read anyone talking about the douchebag who threw Billy Turner's (?) shoe and got a 15 yard penalty. That was a big play and changed the game basically. Instead of 3rd and 4ish we got 15 yards and an automatic first down inside their 40. That play is a microcosm of that entire bunch of dirty losers.

That was a huge mistake. Dunlap as a vet, should know better. But glad he did it!

One thing that puzzles me slightly. Carroll made reference to the Rodgers fumble and recovery and how he thought they should have had it (obviously, since he eventually managed to throw the red flag). And it seems everyone else connected with the Seahawks, and not a few neutral observers, agreed.

But as I saw it, Rodgers dropped the ball and then fell onto it and got hold of it with both hands, either a split second before or (at the very worst) simultaneous with the defender; and Rodgers was lying on the ground at the time and the defender touched him, so the play was dead. It is totally irrelevant what happened after, whether the defender pulled it away from Rodgers. Rodgers held the ball, the play was dead, end of.

I was actually surprised the replay didn't say the ruling was confirmed. It seemed that obvious that Rodgers had both hands on it. Am I missing something?

Did they replay it? If the play was blown dead when Rodgers was touched I don't think that is reviewable??

It's reviewable up to when the whistle goes, for certain. But before the whistle went, Rodgers had hold of the ball and was lying on the floor, and the defender got hold of it at the same time, which is automatic possession for the offense; that is clear on the tape. And the fact that the defender had a stronger hold of the ball and easily ripped it out in the pile, is totally irrelevant because the ball was dead at the instant Rodgers had the ball in his hands and was touched.

By the end of the week ol’ Pete will have been shut out and fined. Can’t think of a better week for him.
