As you mention Sherman, I’m thinking this whole play-off season is stinking to high-heaven.
It was (literally) painfully obvious that Sherman had a left-side disability yet stayed in the game (kudos to him; my kind of player) but...
for the life of me I can’t understand why GB didn’t attack that vulnerability in the 4th quarter. Nelson is savvy enough to exploit such a thing. I sat in my couch wondering why they didn’t POUND the ball at Sherman by sweeps and short-hook passes.
Just confounding.
Something stinks in the NFL and it ain’t the consideration of a few deflated balls.
When all is said and done, I ask, “What would Ray Nitchke say?” (He’d probably eat Goodell for a snack; just out of spite!)
“Just confounding. Something stinks in the NFL and it ain’t the consideration of a few deflated balls.”
I was thinking the same thing with that interception by the Packers with 5 minutes to go. The one Packer tells the guy to slide to the ground. I’m sure they figured they would just play it safe (with Seattle playing so crappy to that point), but I could almost see a bubble with the guy yelling “Take a dive - coach doesn’t want us to beat the spread!”
I used to coach girl’s soccer and was always stuck in my own head and my own plan, and wouldn’t see match-ups that needed to be changed. Luckily I had a dad that saw stuff and he would suggest changes. Or - I wonder if they thought Sherman was faking it.
