The biggest error was the call on the punter, other than that it pretty much played even. On the no review of the fumble since it was not initially called on the field, the 9er's actually gained yardage when the Hawks fumbled the ball on the next play. Hopefully rectified next year by a rule change.
Crabtree made some disparaging remarks about Sherman and his family during the offseason and Sherman put it back on him.
Sherman and Baldwin were thrown under the bus by their then coach Harbaugh at Stanford for the upcoming draft and Baldwin went undrafted and Sherman went in the 5th round. That's the reason they dislike Harbaugh so much due to what he said about them to the scouts. Baldwin says he does not have a chip on his shoulder, it's a boulder.
Sherman was way amped up at the initial on field interview, as he should have been since his team was going to the Super Bowl, but looked straight at the camera and said it as it was directed at Crabtree only.
Like he always says, look at the numbers, 47 games 20 picks. Yes he has gotten beat a couple of times deep. That's going to happen. He studies film and baits the QB's into thinking they like what they see and then comes in for the pick or break up.
The tip was perfect, it was the second time he did it in the last couple of games. If he would have batted it down, the clock would have stopped and the 9er's would still have a couple of shots at the end zone and their time outs. Smart play.
You give Sherman no respect and you get it right back, only from a guy with a Masters Degree from Stanford in Communication, you might be in trouble.
The refs had nothing to do with the Wilson td pass(Qbr 104), Baldwins huge return, Beast Mode td, 2 int's and a fumble by CK (Qbr 54).
Take heart, you won the first half.
