Taunting calls need thrown under the bus along with pansy Goodell.
No. Pete has never liked that sort of thing. There's a fine line between just having fun and being a jerk and Tate crossed it.dunceface":mt32pka6 said:I'm just laughin at y'all in this thread talkin bout this is an inexcusable aberration of sportsmanship :lol:
As others have said football is a wild emotional game and although Pete was visibly mad about the penalty this is part of having a team with an attitude (which he breeds and completely understand the chance of it biting you in the ass once in a while I'm sure) deep down inside he loved every bit of it because he knew those DBs, if any, deserved it. and I loved it too :mrgreen:

I love watching Tate play he wants to take it to the house every time he touches the ball and is fearless, I loved how he won the ball in that situation he stole the pass from the DB then broke it to the house. I hated the celebration during the play, reminded me of Leon Lett getting ran down by Don Beebe.
Pete handled it like a champ, he didn't overreact as some people here wished he would have, no yelling, screaming or benching they still had a game to win why punish the whole team. Instead like the great players coach he is he used it as a teaching moment went and calmly made his point and Tate got it.
Someone watching with their kid even a Seahawks fan could have followed the lead from Pete and said " This isn't what the game is about " from there talk about how good sportsmanship is the right way how a true champion conducts himself on and off the field. In Pete's book he talks about respecting your opponents and how they help you be the best you can be because you have to rise to meet the competition, disrespecting the Rams DB's even if they are jerks and running their mouth just looked bad on Golden two wrongs don't make a right.
I think he'll learn from it, he's a hell of a competitor and if he spends his whole career in Seattle I'll root for him every time he suits up.

I really don't see the need to taunt someone like that, just keep the talk between you two. The thing I don't like is that it gave the Rams a better opportunity to get into scoring possession on their next drive. It made things harder for a defense that was carrying the team. Fortunately the Rams got a holding penalty and didn't start at the 35, but the principle of putting even more pressure on your D should be incentive enough to not go out of your way to get a 15 yard penalty.
