It was hilarious, then Carroll tried to say he didnt call a timeout, the replay seemed to show him asking the ref for somethign.

I like Carroll's passion but he is a cheater. He tried to cheat his way out of the timeout he called.

it is just so incredibly stupid to do that and give the kicker a free warm-up kick. if you're going to call a TO, might as well do it before that.

Actually, I think he was upset that the Falcons still kicked the ball, what is that rule, the whistle blew at least 3 or 4 seconds before he kicked it.

Carroll didn't cost his team the game there.

Kickers expect to try and be iced, I think it is time for coaches to reverse the thought for a while, it doesn't really seem to matter as much anymore, calling the TO.

is there supposed to be a penalty if they kick it? if not, he has no beef. should have called the TO sooner then. or not at all. he'd be playing for the super bowl if he didn't call it.

No big deal they snapped it and kicked it. What I thought was weird was one of the games yesterday when the ravens kicker went on the field when the qtr ended to practice a field goal, now that was weird.

If I heard a whistle when lined up to kick, I would miss it on purpose.

icing the kicker should be banned in the NFL ... banned by common sense GM's, not the league ... because it doesn't work

Couldn't agree more. Coaches want to look like they are pulling some beautifully strategic move. I'm sure it's happened but I don't ever remember a kicker coming out after the timeout and missing.

Only because I am a Cowboys' fan ...
