Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate did not appreciate a move apparently planned by former Lions coach Jim Schwartz to have the Buffalo Bills carry him off the field after their 17-14 victory at Ford Field on Sunday.

Tate was particularly dismayed when he heard that Schwartz, Buffalo’s defensive coordinator, had requested before the season that the players hoist him on their shoulders to celebrate if the Bills won.

“It’s a terrible gesture. Just being a spectator, that’s not the first time that he’s done some things like that,” Tate said Tuesday on 105.1 FM. “One thing that I heard, I don’t know how true it is, I heard that it was planned. Like do this if we win. That’s a total douche move.”

Schwartz was the Lions’ head coach for five years before being let go after last season and replaced by Jim Caldwell.

“I thought it was so disrespectful. So disrespectful. I didn’t like it at all,” Tate said. “If I knew I wasn’t going to get fined, I would have snatched him right down off their shoulders and threw him on the ground, personally. But obviously I couldn’t do that.

“But if that’s what they feel was the right thing to do, then so be it. But I just thought it was a bit disrespectful to come on someone’s home field because you have a past with them and kind of do that. So it is what it is and hopefully he feels better for doing it.”
