Sugar Bear

While the article is correct about the play calling, the main reason the fins lost was because of at least 3 absolutely horrendous calls by the refs. I'm talking replacement refs horrendous.

 

Belicheat had these "officials" in his back pocket. 

Shovel passes?

"Sherman got away from the running game"

 

7 words that never appear together. Maybe Mike wanted to flex his coaching wings to show he could beat NE by running then throwing it. Maybe he wants another coaching gig after taking direction from Philbin.

 

Man's got to know his limitations.

How lucky you are to have forgotten punting late in the (January 2004) Philadelphia playoff game.

The call to Brett is coming.  And Brett, who will have forgotten he turned the Rams down, will accept.  And Brett will have no choice but to "winbg it" - he won't remember the play from the huddle to the LOS. 

I haven't forgotten sherman's boners that game:

1. Fergy catches 2 1st quarter TDs against the depleted 3rd string iggles secondary and is never thrown to again. After the game, reporters ask Fergy why they never went to him again. Fergy said "You have to ask the coaches".

2. 2nd quarter 4th and goal, if we kick the FG we win the game. 

3. But our dipchit HC picks out of his ass a slow developing pull the guard trap instead of a dive and we're stuffed.

4. 4th and short our dipchit HC picks out of his ass a coffin corner punt that is chit instead of going for it deep in their territory and trying to run out the clock.

5. 4th and 26. Our dipchit HC calls off Donnetell's blitz. 'Nuff said.

6. In overtime, we're running up and down the field the whole game but our dip**** HC calls for Favre on the first play to heave it for the INT instead of running it some more down the iggles throats.

 

Great thread, Boris.

Y'all have just ruined Hershy's morning, I hope you're happy.

Wasn't it about a yard and a half to go on that fourth and goal play?  Also, it's ironic to bitch about not going for it on fourth down in the second half, but going for it on 4th down in the first half.

For the record, I would have gone for it both times, as I've stated in a whole bunch of threads.  I expected the Packers would force a three-and-out on defense in the first half and get the ball back with another chance at the FG if the fourth-down play didn't work.  But I can't help but think the failure in the first half affected Sherman's decision in the second half.

Sherman also scapegoated Donatell after making the defensive call himself. His ability as a HC has always been overrated by some Packer fans.

Still counting our blessings when that albatross was removed.

I got Sugar Bear and Honey Badger all effed up in my head and it took me a bit to determine what this thread was going to be about.

"Also, it's ironic to bitch about not going for it on fourth down in the second half, but going for it on 4th down in the first half."

 

Early we had momentum. Late they did so don't give them the ball. Chances on gaining 15 yards on a punt were rather high. Oh well, sherman flipping a coin for each decision would have probably won that game.

Thanks for reviving the brain bleed that had just heeled after perhaps the biggest coaching debacle since SB 32.  

 

4th and 1 calls are very tough for the most part, but both of those led to "WTF ARE YOU DOING?" responses from every one of about the 20 people I was watching that game with - before the plays happened - including GBP fans and fans of other teams.  He got both of those calls wrong.  

 

GAH!  ****ING SHERMAN!

 

Thanks again for angrying up the blood early in the morning.  

Predictably, fins fans are having the same sherman/incompetent epiphany.

 

Just as long as we never forget and he never worms his way back here.

JJSD shouldn't that be 50 guys?

Nope.  We weren't drunks and we weren't in a bar.  Just a bunch of folks watching playoff football and seeing a HC absolutely screw the pooch on a national stage.  Then blame an assistant and install the Bob Slo-wit 'crazy blitz' defensive scheme that lasted all of a handful of games until Peyton Manning embarrassed them out of it the next season.

 

I've said it a million times - Shermy is a top-notch human being, but absolutely at-best an average coach.  

I've also heard he's a better OL coach than Campen.

 

 

  Sugar Bear nickname always makes me laugh....who came up with that...it is perfect.

until Peyton Manning embarrassed them out of it the next season.

gawd that was ugly.  that's the game where they practiced man-to-man coverage in the 2ndary all week long and then slowit panicked and they decided Saturday afternoon to change the scheme to zone for the game (or vice versa).  BRILLIANT!

I was at that Indy game with 5 Packer buddies. We were tailgating decked in green 'n gold and had a lifesize Pevre got milk cardboard standup thingy on the roof. Indy fans were parading by us screaming. Got sick of it and jumped snarling into the middle a 20 or so gaggle of ponies. Friends thought I was a goner. (And they all just sat there paralyzed.) Had to think fast. Started jumping and yelling USA...USA...USA... All of a sudden they were all jumping with me yelling USA...USA... Lots of high 5s and brewskys from my new friends came our way before the game.

 

Then the game started and I've never seen such braindead BS. I think they had 35 pts at halftime while we sat there daring them to pass. DUH sherman was also the Einstein of adjustments.

Had to drink watching us fritter away SBs under that dolt.

Nah.  I was blind, piss drunk after that game, though.  No choice.

 

I'm also quite glad that we weren't at a bar because having to watch that disaster with Philly fans would have been unbearable.

While I agree with the vast majority of posts regarding "Sugar Bear", Ms Pee, aka squirrelpee, would strongly beg to differ and defend her boy to the nth degree. She's probably now plastering the Dolphin boards with posts about how wonderful he is.

Squirrel Pee's challenge

 

Love the innerwebs...

That P@ck66 is a brainiac. 

Rat or Squirrel ?

 

  

We do we call him Sugar Bear anyway?

"Brett Favre gave him the nickname due to his uncanny likeness to the cereal bear."
