Bills head coach Rex Ryan was visibly angry with Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman following Buffalo’s loss to the Seahawks on Monday night. Ryan didn’t mince words, telling Sherman he was acting like “an ass” during the game.

On Tuesday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll responded, saying Ryan should worry about his own players.

“I just wish he’d coach his own team,” Carroll said during an appearance on ESPN 710 Seattle, according to ESPN’s Sheil Kapadia. “Coach your own guys.”

After Sherman picked off Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor early in the second half of Monday Night Football, Sherman and Ryan exchanged words.

”He’s mean-mugging like he’s doing and whatever,” Ryan said after the game. “I thought he roughed our kicker. It was a ridiculous play. Then he was over on the sideline taunting us.

“I think I said you’re too good of a player to act like an ass.”

Carroll also addressed the controversial no-call against Sherman at the end of the first half. Sherman was penalized for being offsides on a Dan Carpenter field goal attempt, but he wasn’t flagged for making contact with Carpenter.

“They didn’t blow the whistle, so I played until the whistle was blown,” Sherman said after the game.

Carroll agreed that officials should have whistled the play dead before Sherman got to Carpenter.

“Then if a guy comes off the edge, they blow the whistle, and he comes and drills the quarterback, then they give you unnecessary roughness,” Carroll said. “That’s what the call should have been in that case.”

He added a caveat.

”(Carpenter) hams it up a little bit, too, which makes it bad,” Carroll said.

The Seahawks beat the Bills 31-25, and the fallout from this game continues.
