Sherman is exactly what I think Mad Sweeney is like in real life, except for being a Waffle House cook.
:lmao:
:lmao: :lmao:
I'm actually not like MS at all in real life. Though I wish I was as good at anything as Sherm is at football. Plus I make $110K plus in the film biz. But don't let me ruin your fantasy, fap away.
Love the 'I'm not like this at all in real life' schtick
Meh, it isn't shtick. I get it out of my system here.
Then your system must be more polluted than the Ganges.

 
Seattle needed 2 horrible 4th quarter interceptions by Kaepernick and a whole games's worth of bad officiating to squeak out a win against a team playing its third straight road game. You'd think Seattle would show a little humility and class.

Can't wait to see them get theirs in two weeks. Kharma's a #####.
Karma isn't a #####. Nor does it kowtow to the whims of upset football fans.Seattle's D took that game from Kaepernick when it was his to win. Maybe next year.
Not sure if you're a Seattle fan or not, but I think most would say Seattle dodged a bullet in this game, and Keap made a few boneheaded plays that Seattle took advantage of, like a good D does.
They won a tough game against a team that was playing the best football in the league coming into it. And that's not me saying that, that was the consensus.I'm a Cowboy fan who was at the game. It was electric. San Francisco clearly outplayed Seattle in the first half, but you just had this feeling in the back of your mind that Seattle was going to come back. You knew it would take a strong performance by Lynch, big plays by Russell and a dominant performance by the D. That all happened and, like I said, they took that game from Kaepernick. He played into their hands and showed that he is a very good running QB who needs to improve his passing significantly. It's not just a few boneheaded plays. In his defense, he was playing against the best secondary in football.
Really? I thought Seattle was unlucky to be down 10-3. What were the stats in the 1st half?

I thought SF got the calls in the 1st half and Seattle got the calls in the 2nd half.
Agreed. I think a lot of neutral fans are allowing Sherman's trolling mouth and the recency of the 4th Qtr breaks cloud their take on the whole game.

The 9ers getting the bounces on the first three fumbles was a big reason they had the lead. They in no way dominated the 1st half. Plus their offense was basically "2002 Falcons on Madden, QB run".

 
Good thing the Refs. kept them in the game. Has there ever been a worse team in the SB than Seattle? I know I can't think of one. Game is almost unwatchable with the way the Refs are. What is sad is the people who actually thought this was a good game. As a fan a neither team watching a game like this makes me want to quit FF so I can quit watching football.
I thought it was a much better game than the first one.The 1979 Rams at 9-7 were worse than the Seahawks.
Especially since the Seahawks are probably the best team in the NFL this year.
Now that is hilarious!
Yeah, I was going to let that slide, but since you responded I'll have to say I agree. Seattle just beat SF by a hair, at their home (which is supposed to be the best home field advantage in the league) and that was after some blatant bad calls from the refs that took possesion from SF and gave it to Seattle.If this game is any indication, then I think SF beats Seattle 6-4 on a neutral field and 7-3 on their home.
That's one way too look at it. Another is that Seattle's struggling offense just put up 3 points fewer on the 49ers D, at home, than Denver put up against a decimated and mediocre Patriot D, also at home.Given that New England came back from 24 down to beat the Broncos at Gillette, I suppose it would be safe to assume that they'd hold an advantage on a neutral field as well (assuming the teams were at full strength).

Hypotheticals are fun.
Huh?I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about Seattle vs SF. Not sure how Denver vs New England a month ago factors in here. I could be missing your point, though. Not to mention that fact that Denver and NE just played, like today, so I'm not sure how the teams were playing over a month ago factors into how the teams are playing now.

Again, my point was that I think SF was playing better than Seattle lately, and with such a close game at home I think SF wins on a neutral or home field more often than not.

I honestly have no idea what your talking about here, and it could be because of the drinks I've had. If so, apologies.
I understood you perfectly. Settle won a close game at home. Denver won a close game at home.My point is that hypotheticals derived from such a ridiculously small sample size mean nothing. San Francisco was playing better than Seattle recently, and New England was actually producing more offense than Denver the second half of the season. Both teams lost today.

None of that changes the fact that Seattle was the most impressive team overall this season, or that even this widely held opinion means nothing once the teams take the field in New York.

So, in summary, nothing either of us just said matters one iota. And we're both drunk as balls.
Yeah, but what the heck am I supposed to do, not speculate?

I was just commenting on how it looked today (and the last few weeks) to me. I could be wrong. I'm wrong all the time.

For example, it's wrong to go fix another drink, because I have to get up early. Yet I'll go do it.

I'm actually tempted to walk downtown and buy one of these horrendously ugly shirts they are selling for the Broncos Super Bowl. I should wait until tomorrow when better looking shirts are available, yet I won't.

 
Great finish for the home team. SEA may have a lot of arrests though. ScottyDog prolly will see more bare butts with bullets in them after this game lol.

I thought SF got the calls in the 1st half and Seattle got the calls in the 2nd half.
I have no idea as I haven't seen the stats. I'm just going on the feeling in the CLink. Calls were all over the place. I actually thought the biggest non-call in the second half was the kicked fumble by Kaepernick. Nobody in the crowd could figure out why that wasn't a penalty. I believe the TD was on the next play, but that whole damn game is a blur.

 
Seattle owns SF in Seattle! No doubt about it!
Fixed.
I get your stance, but anyone saying SF was owned in this game is a blind homer. Taking the game down to the final play, against the #1 defense in the league, as a visitor at the #1 home field advantage; is not being owned.

It's being beaten because you didn't play a perfect game. No shame in that.

I hope Bowman's injury isn't career-threatening.

And I probably would have been rooting for Seattle, even with those-few-seattle-nimrod posters (everyone knows who they are; they are the minority and I don't need to call them out.) But yeah, I don't want to see Sherman win a sb. Which is too bad, because I wouldn't mind seeing Wilson get his.

 
Sherman has looked infinitely better in each interview after that first one. Fifth round guy who grew up in the ghetto makes the game winning play against the best player (who hate each other) supposedly ever to send them to the SB and you want him to act like he's been there before (he hasn't) and not be an emotional tornado? I've repeatedly said that I don't like his antics and he certainly didn't change that today, but judging him off that tirade in that moment is pretty silly. Especially for whoever is complaining about him is the kind of person who repeatedly points to their lack of championships yet expect them to act like he's been there before.

That kick doesn't count. Only Seattle had calls go their way, haven't you been paying attention? SF was ROBBED, though Carolina fans seem to somehow think it's fitting. Wonder why.

 
How long was that Lynch TD anyway? About 40 yards out? On a 3rd down? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, genuinely curious over here.

Everything about that ###### team is scary. Can they change divisions?
Agreed. They went through the gauntlet and came up one play short. Really hope Bowman is good to go next season.
I find it hard to believe he'll be on the field to start next season or be anywhere near 100% til the following season. Obviously a lucky diagnosis would change that, but he had to have torn 2 or 3 ligaments on that, plus meniscus and kneecap displacement. One of the second tier worst knee injuries I've seen. Not McGahee or Kaufman bad, but right up there.

 
Seattle is gonna win the game 49er guppies and will the drunk dip#### quit posting little drummer boy. Your niners are choke artists.... Seattle has been hand picked from the start to be winners ever since the arrival or carrol and wilson. This team will be in the superbowl to face the Broncos so all you jim harbaugh clowns can go home. 49ers don't want to be hit like they will be getting hit today. Sorry drummer shut your hole no one wants to hear your babbling.
U MAD BRO?
No....I'm not mad bro.

T with T is an alias of yours?

 
Just got home from the game. One of the most amazing experiences of my life!
Yup...my son is passed out from sheer excitement. Helluva day. He will remember it forever.
I'm still awake. Stupid sports. It kind of bugs me I care so muc
If the Hawks lose i stay up longer.
If they lost I'd be fine. I'd write it off to another Seattle sports experience like it's been my entire life, and things would be back to normal.

But as they keep winning it just gets more stressful, because I have more and more to lose.

 
Seahawk fan here. Great job 9ers. You are truly an awesome team. I am looking forward to the rivalry for years to come. I used to hate Harbaugh before this game. I like him now. The guy showed class at the end and you could see he had been crying. You can tell he really cares about his players. I also was not a Kapernick fan but I was really impressed with his game. That one jump throw for a TD was AMAZING. Once he gets the inconsistent throws worked out, he will be an annual pro bowler. Navarro, I am so sorry. You are a great player and I hope you bounce back quick. SHERMAN....You should be embarrassed, I am.

I...agree with all of this

 
For those wondering when I drink: I finally did it now. I don't drink watching games, but instead of being bitter over a loss, I think of how this division is now one of if not the best in the NFC. I'm happy with that alone.

I know this is a fishing trip.

Yes refs blow this year, worst year ever.

But Seattle was the top team all year. One of the most complete defenses and a dangerous running attack. I think this SB is the two best teams in football. Kind of how it is supposed to be.

 
@rsherman_25: Praying for @NBowman53 ... Hate to see such an amazing player go down like that... Speedy recovery

I understand that Seattle fans love them some Sherman, but please don't make excuses for his behavior. It's one thing to "not act like you've been there before" and celebrate emphatically, but another to proclaim yourself GOAT and opposing players as "sorry" (after a victory nonetheless), not to mention the Carroll-esque choke gestures, and his trademark facetious pat on the butt. Even in the post game press conference he was still taking personal potshots. I mean c'mon you won the game (in which you were favored). The way he acted in that andrews interview you'd think they lost. Kids come up from the ghetto and make it in the NFL all the time, none have had egregiously poor sportsmanship like Sherman.

The crappy part of it all is that the media is always hungry for material and know Sherman can't but help himself when it's camera time. The result is his scuzz behavior gets broadcasted more and more and gets increasingly worse as the seahawks find more success. An unfortunate correlation I would think from a seattle fan's standpoint.

I would have much rather seen the same old interview that everyone gives after a game. Those are so much more entertaining, for me the fan, than what Sherman did yesterday. I only watch football to see violent collisions that can lead to serious injury. Talking smack after a game is where I draw the line!

Which team has more room for improvement going into next season, taking into account the finances and draft picks?
Seattle gets Wilson one more year at discount rates. SF has to make a decision on Kaepernick. They have him locked up for another year at his original contract, but this is the offseason where he can be extended and I'm thinking its his turn to get paid.

Seattle has some decisions to make. Sherman is finishing his third year just like Kaepernick, so I'm sure he's expecting to get paid as well. Seattle's biggest decisions will come across their defensive line. Avril and Bennett were signed to one year deals. Bennett should be getting some serious money. They can probably ink both because I think Bryant and Clemons are going to be cap casualties. Also wouldn't be surprised to see Seattle go hard after Orakpo.

Uh yea, you go ahead and do that… Believe it or not other ppl watch football for other reasons, I know it's absurd that not everyone thinks like you do.

But hey if it's good "entertainment" then it's all good right? I mean seriously can someone bring back the Romanowski face spit routine? Absolutely to die for grade A stuff.

I originally decided to leave Sherman's comments alone because I expected people on this forum to universally find his actions repugnant regardless of allegiances. Guess not.

Stay classy.

You draw the line at trash talk when watching a game as violent as football is hilarious.

Bill Romanowski spitting on someone isnt entertaining.

Muhammed Ali was. Deon Sanders was. T.O, Ocho etc.

Take your class and leave.

You missed the point, I don't care about trash talk. For all I care talk as much trash as you want during the game if it feels like it gives you an advantage. But leave it on the field.

I'm speaking to Sherman's inability to be a gracious winner and penchant for being a sore loser after the fact. If i'm a hawks fan, I could certainly do without.
