I love Sherman.  The guy talks major trash, doesn't take it, and then backs it up with big plays.  We need more of him.

I quite enjoyed his post game interview. Was it over the top, sure...but that's why it was entertaining!



That said, I do wish he would talk less overall.

Plays like this are why he can say whatever he wants.  The guy can play the hell out of the game.

Hopefully the kids watching do not take after Sherman's attitude....doosh!

So Marshawn Lynch's running, Doug Baldwin's efforts and the pass to kearsey on 4th and seven for a touchdown were what? weak? you are a Saints fan and going in to the game you picked the 9ers and you picked wrong.

Oh he certainly has earned the right to. I'd say the best corner in the game today. But still...just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Maybe the way he went about it after the play is what's rubbing people the wrong way, but honestly, I'm not really sure what he said in the post game interview was bad.  He yelled, but he didn't say anything bad.

Here's also something to think about: http://www.forbes.com/sites/tommytomlinson/2014/01/19/22-brief-thoughts-about-that-richard-sherman-interview/

Listen don't be all weird like that....Yes I picked the 49ers, they were playing better ball going into this game. If you remember I did not pick the Saints to beat the Hawks, so not sure what your point is. At the end of the day it is who has the most points.
We ALL know the Hawks O has been lackluster these last few games including allowing the Saints to be in that game the whole time. The D kept the Saints from winning that game not the O, same in last nights game.
 
If you only want to focus on the end score then there is no analysis needed for the game.
 
I want to the Hawks to win the SB, right now though Denver scores more points, but if Pete can fix the O and especially the O line and protect Wilson yes they win.
 
But I am not a minimalist to just have only ONE team.....I like several but like you and your Hawks, the Saints are my #1 team.

I think most people in here called a Broncos/SEA superbowl before the season started.

True, but it's a once in a lifetime chance to have your 2 favourite teams actually meet in the SB Wink

Many lifetimes have past without my favorite team making it to the Super Bowl, so it is quite extraordinary to have your 2 favorite teams make it.

It's a crazy feeling.  Most years I either have my fave team in the SB or a team I love to root against...but this year...wow.  I'm a Bronco fan first and will be wearing my Elway jersey and I'll be really disappointed if they lose but that will mean my 2nd fave team will be SB champs.  Happy Happy, Joy Joy LOL

^ I truely see your point and feelings.....My two fav teams (Sea/NO) played but I knew NO would not win, but at least now I know one of my fav teams is in the SB. I am also a big Peyton fan, more than a Broncos fan, he is a master QB, I'd be happy if he got another ring.

^ Glad the Hawks were able to make an Emerald City prog fan happy Thumbs Up

It's funny, I was never much of a Peyton fan till I closely watched him play for the Broncos these past 2 seasons.  His constant audibles and shifting the players around is awesome (when it works).  To be able to play at such a high level and set all those records after the horrific neck surgeries and a whole season away from the game is nothing short of incredible.  I'd love to see him get another ring - if nothing else than to silence the Peyton haters who say he can't win the big one.  Realistically, the Broncos have maybe 2 more years as an elite SB caliber team - assuming Peyton keeps playing healthy...after that we'll probably take a hard slide to an average 8-8 team.

On the other side of the ball, Russell Wilson is such a class act and so savvy & talented for such a young QB I only see him getting better and better.  Living near Seattle, I see many interviews with him on the news and he's incredibly impressive in both his physical abilities and mental approach to the game.  He could really fulfill his destiny and become the next Drew Brees or better...and with the Legion of Boom in place, I have a strong feeling this could be the 1st of several Seahawk trips to the SB over the next few years.

I agree on Wilson, certainly he has filled these first two yrs with a lot of class, very comparable to a Brees for sure. We all know how he feels about Drew Brees.
 
If the Hawks get help/improve the O line he will be a top QB for sure. Will he have the numbers that a Peyton or Drew, most yards, TDs....time will tell, not sure he is that kind of QB.
Peyton won the big one, he has not won multiples yes, but a SB win is a huge thing. Drew is an elite QB, will he win multiple SB? Doubt it, unless the Saints revamp their D and very soon......Peyton and Drew are getting long in tooth LOL

Ya, I'm not sure Wilson is the type of QB that will put up Brees/Peyton/Brady kind of numbers...it might be that his greatest gifts as a QB are his leadership qualities, preparation, and ability to elevate all the players around him.  One thing that really impresses me about him is that he scrambles to buy time to find an open receiver, not to take off downfield.  That's a tough thing to teach a 2nd year QB...most of them can't check down receivers...if the primary target is covered they take off running.  Some of his scrambles remind me exactly of Fran Tarkenton or even Elway in his early years before he slowed down.  When you can get receivers in tune with a QB that scrambles to buy time, good things will happen.

I hear you about Drew and the Saints D as well...look at Elway's career...he carried the Broncos to the SB 3 unsuccessful times and it wasn't until he got some big names on D (Neil Smith, Romanowski, Atwater) that he was able to get over the top.  A great QB just cannot do it alone (though that's what the sports media makes it sound like).

And yes, Peyton, Drew, and Brady are all running out of time...soon the young guns will be taking their place and I think Wilson is poised to become one of the premier new breed of QB's.  Run 1st QB's are exciting but I just don't see the longevity in their careers because they take too many big hits.  When I saw all the Tebow games in that magic 2011 season I kept thinking, "ya this is super exciting...but there's no way this guy will play more than 3 years without serious injury".  Look at Peyton, I don't believe he even got knocked down once yesterday.  A solid O line can make a good QB look great...and a great QB look unbeatable.

cut and paste

So what? So, pay attention to history. Peyton Manning is the fourth quarterback in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl after leading the league that season in touchdowns and yards passing. The others were Dan Marino (1984), Kurt Warner (2001) and Tom Brady (2007).

Quick now, what do all three have in common? Yep, they were the quarterbacks nobody could stop ... until somebody did. All three were Super Bowl losers, and therein lies a lesson that shouldn't be forgotten: Namely, that great defense trumps great quarterbacks. Looks like it's time for a refresher course.

Helluva player though. He single handily ended that game
I don't think he's that much of a jerk. What impresses me about him is the fact that he's not the most athletic corner in the league by any means, but he's a master at preparation and baits QBs into making bad decision, as the end of that game proved. For the most part though, he's fairly eloquent with the media and strikes me as a rather intelligent person. Go read some of his Monday Morning QB articles for proof of that.

I believe that a lot of what Sherman does on the field is an act to get into people's heads and to also get people to talk crap or whatever to create motivation for himself and for his teammates.  The guy is brilliant, physically and mentally.
