    Seahawks coach Pete Carroll didn't call for the fake punt specifically against the Buffalo Bills leading by 30 points, Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times reports.

    "I feel bad about this," Carroll said.

    The Seahawks faced fourth-and-4 at the Buffalo 43, leading 47-17 with 12:49 to play in the game.

    The Seahawks had prepared a fake punt in their game plan, designating it to be used if the Bills used a specific formation.

    "It was an automatic for us," Carroll said.

    The execution couldn't have been better but the timing, however, was a little off.

    "We looked for it every time we were going to punt, and it was just there," Carroll said. "I should have stopped it in the sense that it looked bad."

    Bills coach Chan Gailey was asked about it after the game.

    "No comment," he said.

    He just better remember he's not in the Pac 10 anymore. Someone's going to take their frustrations out on someone eventually out on the field.

    This.

    Score 100 points if you can. This isn't college. Screw mercy rules.

    Just like all of the other teams called out for running up the score in the bigs... you don't like it, then stop the other team.
