What an ass-whoopin'!
-- I would love to hear the back story on why Sherman though it would be acceptable to take a 15 yard penalty by pulling an ADB from SBXLIX (pretending to pull his pants down to drop a deuce). I hate HATE that crap (bad pun). Whatever they were saying to you Sherman, that doesn't give you an excuse to act like a chump and cost your team 15 yards in the process. Your revenge is the scoreboard, period. No need for juvenile antics that hurt your team.
Generally agree, and would love to hear the backstory. At least it was at a point where it could have no real effect on the game. On the other hand, it was good to see the brash, confrontational Sherman back.
It feels like that swagger has been missing all year. I really feel like this was a game that our defense needed to truly exorcise the XLIX demon. A dominant performance against a top tier team. Although statistics tell a different story, there was still something just a little off, and a little down about the LOB and thus the defense all year, particularly Sherman. Not quite having fun or something. Hard to put a finger on.
Last night was the first time since XLIX that I have seen that same fire, that same drive, that same sense of "give us your best shot because nobody can beat us."
Wish it didn't manifest as such a juvenile act, but I'll take one or two of those on occasion to see the defense back in form.
