Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Get your facts straight, Pittman never threw any punches. The whole incident happened right in front of the ref, as well as on TV (pic of Taylor getting punched in the face) That's not a punch? It surely should have been AT LEAST 15 yards, maybe an ejection. Folks, this is why I recommend not using phrases like "get your facts straight" lol...

OMacAttack Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Punching a guy wearing a helmet is just plain dumb. Take a page from Andre Johnson's book and take his helmet off first if you're throwing punches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me feel like there is still some good in this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Umm, there's video footage of Taylor spitting in to Pittmans face. I've seen it plenty of times. Also, I'm sure we can find instances of MANY refs blowing major calls against us. Then again, complaining about refs is loser talk so I'm done. Ask Sacramento kings fans if complaining about the refs is loser talk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnhay Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Punching a guy wearing a helmet is just plain dumb. Take a page from Andre Johnson's book and take his helmet off first if you're throwing punches That looked as well placed as it could get though. If I was the ref, I'd look the other way on the punch as well if I knew the guy had just been spit on. I mostly don't like Mike Carey though because he's the biggest "look at me" ref out there. If he could get away with Santana Moss' first down celebration, he'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It surely should have been AT LEAST 15 yards, maybe an ejection. Get your facts straight, Pittman was swatting at a bee and Taylor's face just happened to be there. It is just a weird coincidence that Taylor spit on him right before the bee attack. Obviously Mike Carey saw the bee. Also, if someone spits on me, they should prepare to be punched. I would rather be punched than spit on. I think that is one of the more vile confrontational acts. Punch me and there is a 90% chance I am coming back at you, the 10% left would be me questioning whether or not I deserved the punch. Sometimes I do. However, spit on me and there is a 100% chance I am coming at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 That's true but no big deal. The head coach should set the direction of the team. One could argue that he made a mistake not hiring a coach who had more experience with a 3-4 scheme to run the defense after he decided to make the switch. Shanahan had the right to change the basic defensive allignment but it was a bad decision. At the time he was hired, the Skins had a decent D and a bad offense. He was an offensively oriented Coach primarily hired to improve the offense. In his "my way or the highway" style, he insisted that his players adapt. We did not have 3-4 personnel and the shift was premature.Rather than focus his energies on the offense, the D slowly began to unravel starting with the primadonna(sp?) Haynesworth who had just been hired to be a penetrating DT and hated NT.... Haynesworth was humiliated then fired. Cofield was moved from his natural DT position to NT. Fletch, a prototype 4-3 MLB was now asked to do more coverage....etc. The D still hasn't recovered.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Haynesworth was a butthead the year before in a 4-3. That was just a bad idea all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG3Hunna Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If you spit in someones face you deserve to get punched in the face period. Spitting in someones face is the biggest sign of disrespect period! On the other hand we don't know what took place on the field to cause the spitting incident but at the end of the day I think the only thing Pittman cares about is that they lost the game against us.

nemocystem Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Nobody is saying a punch was undeserved. ...they are saying that you either penalize both, or none, & make the punishment even. Calling it one way, & ignoring the other is unbalanced, & not objective. Regardless of who did what, or which was worse....they both offended & should have been penalized accordingly, or not at all. That was Mike Carey's job that day, & he failed at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember seeing the replay of that as I was watching the game, and was PO'd that we were going to give up a score so had taken a beer break. When I got back from the fridge, the score was the same and we had the ball. Fat Albert could be impactful, but only when he wanted. To say his motor only went 50% most of the time would be generous....after he got paid by us. And he was a moron off the field also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG3Hunna Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I agree Carey should have thrown the flag I was just disagreeing with someone who said just because someone spits on you doesn't give you the right to punch someone. I feel that gives you 100% right to punch someone, yes it's against the rules and you should be penalized but at the end of the day you're a man and you must demand respect if an opponent thinks so little of you that he can just spit in your face.
