so sherman was covering boykin last drive. why would the 'best' cornerback in the league dodge cobb and nelson?
As mentioned a million times, he plays the same side on every snap. Obviously teams will take advantage by moving their top guy(s) to the other side or slot.

I believe he tends to cover the outside receiver on one side and it seemed to work pretty well last year. If it ain't broke...

Sigh...he's not dodging anyone. He plays a side regardless of what WR is lined up across from him.Eta: not answering this again.

Why is the field judge #89, who is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PLAY, looking at the other guy to see if that's a TD?
Because it's the line judge who has goal line responsibility.
You mean the line judge that starts at the LOS and is 8 yards away has a better angle than the FJ that is standing on the goal line?
The FJ has a poor angle to see if the runners knee is down before the ball crosses or even if the ball crosses at all.
 
I didn't realize there was any defenses that don't match up there CBs and just have them play one side. It's crazy to me to have Boykin on Sherman. Especially when Cobb and Nelson are your top 2 receivers.

I'm just telling you whose responsibility it is and how officials are trained. Once the ball is snapped the line judge and side judge are suppose to get to the goal line. They are looking straight down the line while the field judge has a completely different angle and depth perception can be a problem.

What's the stredegy behind having Sherman on Boykin?
Richard Sherman doesn't cover the opposition's #1 WR. This was the case last year as well.
This is the reason why many CB don't consider Sherman the best CB in the league
Many CB's don't consider Sherman the best CBin the league because they are CB's and therefore the best. If you want to see what Sherman does matched up against a WR see Sherman v. Johnson (Calvin) 2012 and Sherman v. Boldin 2013.

 
Is it me or is Harvin having a really tough time keeping his balance tonight? This has to be the 2nd or 3rd time he's tripped over his own feet. Anyway, go Harvin!

They don't? Who do they?
Revis and Patrick Peterson

A few DB's that have seen interviewed about say that they can't or don't consider Sherman the top CB because "he doesn't travel" meaning he only plays one side of the field (very damn well mind you)
