Judging from past behavior Sherman seems to only go off when provoked.....Denver doesn't talk much so I'm wondering if there's going to be much said by Sherman directly to Denver...he may spend a lot of time telling everyone how good he is and honestly...is he lying?

Like Sherman's play on the field---he may indeed be the best DB currently in the game, but how about letting us tell him that? Got to have attitude to play DB in the NFL, but I can do without Sherman's over-the-top statements, even if provoked.

BTW--I think Seattle's defense will shut down Manning and the Broncos in the SB. Manning will not be able to evade the Seattle rush quickly enough, and the Seatle DB's will cover long enough for the rush to get there.

I've been wondering that too. I don't really see how they can. He didn't criticize refs or anyone, he just called Crabtree "mediocre at best" lol. I don't know if you can get fined for that or not. It wouldn't surprise me if they found a way to do it though.

And just bc you went to Stanford and had an 12.9 gpa doesn't mean you can't be a jackass. That was the most selfish press conference I have ever heard. Never once credit his teammate for actually catching the ball. Never once said we won or we did this. It was all about I.

Can you imagine what ppl would be saying if Terrell Owens said something like this?


Can you imagine what ppl would be saying if that was tony romo making that throw last night. Hell Colin had 3 turnovers in the 4th quarter. Romo would be dead before he pulled into his driveway if he ever did that.

Yes, Kaepernick had a few throws he wish he could do over. If he had had a better game, SF would've won. Both D's were awesome. SF got screwed on some calls.

Denver will have all they can handle. It'll be funny if Sherman has a bad play that costs them the SB.

IMO, nothing justifies outrageous selfish outbursts, regardless of circumstances. Big diff between on-field exchanges and National TV. I live for the day when no one even raises an eyebrow when celebrities or sports figures make sensational comments to the media---who live for such moments and do nothing but encourage it. We are all hopeless suckers and can't seem to get enough of being manipulated by the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

Not saying I'd like to see it every week or anything but when something like last night happens I enjoy it partly because it's not a generic answer that a coach told him to say. Good to see someone breaking the norm. But, I can see how obviously some people aren't a fan of it.

I agree with you 100 percent, just do your job and let your actions on the field do the talking. Did not hear Manning mouthing off about topping Brady, I guess some know how to handle success and other don't. To each his own.

I am sure that at the time of the interview Sherman was pumped and as he said, adrenaline was flowing freely. He explained his thought process in the article posted on here and it makes sense. He never said a curse word in the interview, but he could have been more respectful to the reporter. I see no reason for any action by the NFL and hope this all dies away.

With that said, I agree that this was a team win for Seattle and the team should be commended for the game they played--all of them--not a single player that made one great play.

The SB will be an interesting game to say the least. Manning will find a way to get the Broncos scoring opportunities and Seattle will be a tough team to beat because they have a great defense and effective offense. My take is that the key will be how well Wilson handles the game with his youth and the pressure he will be under.

So how come the nfl referees are getting off the hook for some of the worst called playoff games in history?

Bowman's leg breaking fumble recovery for one. Blantant non calls on holding by just about everybody. WR's, DB's, TE, LB's, OL, special teams.

They need to get this holding under control. Everybody is holding. It is being coached and every year it gets a little bit worse. They need to make it that if you grip with your hands on another players jersey/pads etc, regardless of having your arms straight out in front of you, you are holding. Offense and defense. Maybe put thumbless boxing gloves on all the linemen. :)

I've been saying this for several years now. The irony is that it seems like a select few team are allowed to get away with blatant holding on receivers while other teams can't even touch the receiver. The Seahawks have a really good defense but their d-backs hold jerseys and commit pass interference on almost every single play and rarely ever get called. It seems if the entire defense plays tough and rough football they are all allowed to get away with a lot more contact and holding. Also how about the Bill Belichick complaint about the receiver pick play that injured his guy? It is sooooo obvious to everybody who watches the games that about half the teams in the NFL are sending their receivers on routes that are meant to "pick" the defender and the refs know this. both Denver and Patriots have the most prolific passing games in the NFL because of these kinds of crossing patterns meant to interfer with the defenders ability to defend other receivers. Yet it is rarely ever called. Roger Goodell is concerned about the PAT when the game is being destroyed by a lack of consistency by the refs......

caleb_mccaig
01-22-2014, 10:35 AM
IMO opinion I think it has to do more with letting the teams play in the playoffs and not letting flags take over the contest. The Seahawks D is very aggressive, I watched fourteen of their games this year, they're my second favorite team 100% because of their secondary and jerseys, and their secondary got called their fair share for PI and holding. I will say the reason their secondary is so good is because they're the best within 7 yards, they jam the crap out of the offense and their d-line is dominant enough to force pressure before someone can get open. I know it's suppose to be no contact after five yards but they barely enforce it before 7-8.
I'm excited to see the Denver receivers against the Seahawks secondary, should be fun!

O.k., after watching the following interview, I can give Sherman the benefit of the doubt. Although he didn't apologize for his actions during the post-game interview, I can buy the "I didn't turn the barbaric switch off" heat-of-the-moment argument. Doesn't give him a pass to say anything he wants without accountability, but I do understand a little better because of the nature of the pro game, and interviewers might want to wait a little bit before sticking a mike in the face of some players after a game-ending play in a highly emotional game.

Once it's ruled a fumble in the field of play you can't challenge who the refs give possession too. Clear recovery can only be challenged if the runner was called down on the field and you challenge that it was a fumble. If he had challenged it he would've lost a timeout. It's stupid and will probably be fixed in the off-season.

Doesn't give him a pass to say anything he wants without accountability, but I do understand a little better because of the nature of the pro game, and interviewers might want to wait a little bit before sticking a mike in the face of some players after a game-ending play in a highly emotional game.

Go Richard Sherman. Turn that switch off a little sooner though. :thumbsup: I especially like his preparation for the games.

IMO opinion I think it has to do more with letting the teams play in the playoffs and not letting flags take over the contest. The Seahawks D is very aggressive, I watched fourteen of their games this year, they're my second favorite team 100% because of their secondary and jerseys, and their secondary got called their fair share for PI and holding. I will say the reason their secondary is so good is because they're the best within 7 yards, they jam the crap out of the offense and their d-line is dominant enough to force pressure before someone can get open. I know it's suppose to be no contact after five yards but they barely enforce it before 7-8.
I'm excited to see the Denver receivers against the Seahawks secondary, should be fun!



there are very few defenses in the NFL that could get away with the amount of contact and holding that the Seahawks d-backs get away with. Even in the regular season. Refs become conditioned just like everybody else does and a very aggressive defense makes the refs try to "NOT" call penalties while normally refs are looking for penalties to call.......... It's kind of like Shag when he played basketball. Any other player in the NBA would foul out in the 1st half if they threw people around and ran over people like Shaq did yet he was rarely ever called for offensive fouls. He conditioned the refs to adjust to his style of play......

This. Yes, basketball was not originated to be a contact sport.

Once it's ruled a fumble in the field of play you can't challenge who the refs give possession too. Clear recovery can only be challenged if the runner was called down on the field and you challenge that it was a fumble. If he had challenged it he would've lost a timeout. It's stupid and will probably be fixed in the off-season.

Ah makes sense now. Thanks

That should definitely be changed considering the only reason he lost the ball in the pile was due to an injury.

He said what he said in the interview. I find it funny people want to make a big deal of the erin Andrews thing but right before that it showed him giving her a big hug.

What is the problem
Richard Sherman was just doing what everone else wants too, but has a little more self-restraint

He is right in what he said that "thug" has become a synonym for the n word.
