If he did spit.
I'm giving Seannie the benefit of a doubt.

I have to admitt, when I first saw it... and all I saw was Taylor get helmet punched...

I thought Taylor had threatened to kill the guy or something... then he would have even more problems!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I told Sonny that there must be more to it than what we were seeing, because when Runyan did it to Big Joe, we got ours.
Thankfully, the Buccaneer offense couldn't make it stand up.

I honestly don't know what to do (which is why I am a fan and not in charge)

The Angel on my shoulder says sit him, teach him that this is a team game and one player can not screw up things for the team.

But the Devil on my shoulder says we need him if we wan't to hold down Seatlle. We could get by against Tampa, but with against Seattle and a good offense, we're going to need him out there.

And I forgot who said it but he was right, once Taylor was out of the game, the Bucs freely were going to the passing game which was killing us.

So I guess I want him to play, but whatever Joe and Greg decide is best for the team, I will support it.

I saw no saliva come from the facemask of Sean Taylor, I was irrate when they threw him out of the game, I don't care if he did spit in the guys face for one reason Pittman was not walking away or being pursued he was INSTIGATING Sean, they gave a 15 yard penalty that should be enough, none the less we better brace ourselves because NFL.com is all over this and wrote an article talking about "last year's incident" in which Taylor ALLEGEDLY spit on Houshmanzadeh or whatever his name is, I swear that if the League suspends Taylor for the Seattle game we all need to organize serious protests.

I wonder if being on the field offered a different perspective, because I didn't see anything either.

How about Pittman's retaliation, no flag! The whole thing stinks, and it could have cost us the game, on another note does anyone else on this board think Brunell is getting worse?

No, he's not getting worse. Think of who he was playing ! They almost completely took Santana , ey and Portis out of the gameplan. Who was left ?

what about sims taunting rodgers when he was going for the sidelines, wanting him to hit him

So far no post-game commentator says that they can see any evidence of it. Even if he did, does that constiture them being lenient and letting Pittman retaliate by hitting Taylor in the face?

No, that guy deserves to be shipped on a plane to a fricken Baseball team so he can play with other wusses.

First off he calls out C Rogers and is like "bring it wuss"... then he fricken runs out of bounds. I don't give a crap if he was only joking, that guy is sucha stupid fricken moron.

Put it this way, Simms better be happy that wasn't ST, because if it was, he would have got hit, in-bounds or out.

Man I wish this was smack so I could say how I really feel about that puss.

He's a Simms and I think that just frustrates the heck out of each and every Skins fan everywhre. I think we'd all like to have the opportunity to clothesline him. Matbe Lavar can put an "Aikman" on him next time.

Great post AIRHOG......i feel the same way.and all the talking heads could talk about is how he is just like the old man there.........if it was somebodey else they didn't like they would have been saying what a busch league play that was by a qb, but it was sims and it's all good

Sounds good to me. It's a formula that has worked so far.

I agree.. I saw no spit. But if he did it, he should have been ejected. You don't spit on another man. But, even if he was rightly ejected, there should have been offsetting penalties on that play. That was total BS zebras trying to give the game to the Yucs again.

For those that want Taylor suspended or won't be mad about it......show me where the spit is in the gosh dang play! I've seen it three times now and I didn't see no spit! The refs tried screwing us again.

Lets get ready for the Seahawks and hope Taylor won't be suspended by the refs.

alright, anybody who has ever played a game of football knows that emotions run high, now take that emotion and multiply it by 100, that is a playoff game. I'm not excusing Taylor for allegidly spitting in someone's face, but to suspend him for the next game would be ridiculous. Also, why wasn't Pittman ejected as well? It goes both ways, you gotta eject both if you eject one of them.

Aside from that I am happy we got the W, but our offense will need to step up if we expect to get out of Seattle with a win.

Go Skins!!

If you can't see spit, you must acquit. Free Sean Taylor

Pittman wasn't ejected because he was doing a real good job on punt and kick off returns! The refs tried screwing us again!

not only was there NO spit coming from Sean Taylor's mouth.....THERE WAS NO SPIT DRIPPING OFF OF PITTMAN'S FACE MASK! I'm willing to bet it was just like Bill Cowher.....he was talking trash and spit came from his mouth as he was talking. Completely incidental.

Ok, guys, I was watching the game in HD on a 43" plasma, with a DVR, and I looked at that, and I saw no spit, though it is hard to tell because their was an official behind them. None the less, I saw no spit.

Johnny Cochran lives again !

Chris Mortensen is saying that he will NOT be suspended. Gregg Williams said that he believes Sean Taylor when he told him he didn't spit on him....also, Gregg said there is no other Free Safety in the game he would rather coach.....I love Gregg!

While I find spitting on someone low class, I have to say, football is war and comparing that to a very late spearing hit or stomping on someone, etc...is much worse. A 15 yard penalty for spitting is justified, but to eject the guy? I don't see it.
