sherman blames the refs

[TwistedHusky]

I believe that bad referees are more influenced by the home team atmosphere than good ones.

Bad referees tend to be reluctant to make calls that go against the home crowd. I believe there have been plenty of studies on this that cross the lines of multiple sports that I do not care to Google now.

You have to assume that in a charged atmosphere some calls are going to go against you on the road. This is a key reason HFA is so important for the playoffs. Mediocre to poor crews are going to miss calls. The benefit is going to go to the home team and you have to account for this.

So being shocked that the refs called the game unevenly is probably out of bounds. We should have expected it. We played well enough to overcome it anyway - but not scoring a TD when we had a chance on that drive after the long punt return doomed us. It wasn't the refs, we had our chances.

I love that the niner trolls have finally come back

Well, they "dominated" us at home by 2pts. If you had world-beater status like that, wouldn't you do the same?

Sherman needs to stop piping up and start manning up. He wants to be regarded as the best corner in the league, he hasn't been that the past several weeks. He's getting stupid penalties. Not what the best corner in the league does.

He was targeted twice and for 31 yards, Sherman played a good game. And the Vikings game aside he has absolutely been one of the best corners in the league this year, a few ticky tack penalties aside doesn't change any of that.

I dont think that Sherman was blaming the officials either. He actually made a factual statement. The 49ers did have drives extended because of penalties. They were fair calls I must say. I would be more upset with the no calls that game. The two that stood out to me were the PI on Crabtree that wasn't called and the hold that Goodwin did on your guys DT. The pass was a long completion to Vernon Davis. Two plays later the 49ers score. I think as sherman matures in the NFL he would make the statement that "we beat ourselves with bad penalties." And no this was not the 49ers Super Bowl but the Playoffs started last week for the 49ers. Its crazy to the think that the Panthers and the 49ers would be in first place in the NFC North and East based on their records. So it is for sure a playoff came for them.

For the record Im not here to troll. I stayed on the board in week 3 and 4 this year and talked some good football with you folks. I really like talking Russell Wilson vs Kap development. cheers.

This "foot" issue that suddenly appeared on the injury report has probably been with him for the last couple of games and prolly why he's been more grabby than usual and not able to hang with some of the double moves. I hate injuries!
