Not know much about football - is that allowed?
Thing is, they blame the Hawks for not “playing fair” or they only won because they cracked Manning’s hand signals. Okay. But then Manning is held responsible for not figuring out that after a few plays the Hawks knew what was going on. But he kept to his hand signals and the Hawks figured it out.
The Patriots would've gotten a clue and changed their signals at half time. I LOVE IT when brain outsmarts brawn.
Sherman is an idiot. The LAST thing that you announce that that you’ve cracked the opponent’s code.
Hackers from Seattle. Go figure!
This would explain a lot, I’m just surprised someone like Manning didn’t recognize that their signs had been compromised and adjust accordingly. Surely the Seahawks aren’t the first to try and decipher Manning’s signals.
So consider this...
Peyton is supposedly mulling retirement. Put yourself in his shoes. If he does indeed retire, it might be construed that he did so having realized his primary audible technique was usurped. One could argue that for evermore, he’d be the guy who cut and ran when his techniques were exposed.
In truth, I actually think Sherman is actually just playing around and the Seahawks didn’t actually decipher his audibles. I think it’s simply gamesmanship. But if it’s true, I think it would make Manning have to return for the 2014 season.
Just think if Belichek had left the Pats after they were found out to have been cheating with the video recording. It would have stained him further. While it’s a little different with Manning, quitting now makes it look like he’s realized he’d lost his competitive advantage.
That may be, but not sure that would have even mattered. The D line and linebackers brutalized the Bronos O-line, and Manning usually had two guys on him and one guy in position to put his hand on the ball pretty much every down. There was no pocket throughout the game.
I also heard that the password to Peyton’s computer is 123456.
So Sherman says they cracked the code rather than totally dominated them? If I was a team mate I don’t think I would like this dude.
You can't spell National Security Agency without the letters in Seattle.
Payton is the last of his breed. It’s the end of the pocket QB. Defense coordinators have figured them out. Payton and Eli are finished. The era of the pass and run QB begins.
I hope Manning comes out and says “I don’t use hand signals”.
I figured out the Seahawks’ hand signals after the very first play of the game and after the very first play of the 2nd half — applause.
Sherman needs to have a full time monitor to authorize him opening his mouth. How can he think anything good will come from such a statement? Basically he is taking credit from his own defensive team mates play and saying that other skills or methods allowed them to run over the offense.
What a fool.
I take back calling him a thug. He’s a cracker!
So in other words, they cheated.
