Yep, pretty spot on, though, the animosity extended well beyond just Sherman. It infested much of the D back then and parts of the offense - namely Beast.
That lost SB hung over the team big time. It poisoned it. Those who pointed that out were right. (and I don't care how many times you did because those who chirped about "moving on" were wrong because you were addressing an issue that remained relevant to the organization and the team moving forward.)
I would also add that the complaints coming from the D during this time period weren't all wrong. Cable sucked. Bevell sucked. Pete had devolved into sucky/phony rah-rah 24/7 nonsense. Oh, and the fans who regurgitated Pete's rah-rah nonsense, well, they sucked too.
The good news is much of the poison from those days has been removed and the Schotty era has brought back respectability to the offense and refocused Pete on doing what he does best which is shaping a crew of young and hungry defense to create chaos on game day.
2018 has been a great season. Hands down among my favorites of all time. And there are some players on the team who feel the exact same way.
GO HAWKS!!!
