Rodgers Joked to Seahawks' Sherman After Loss

Since he and his team never threw to Richard Sherman in last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been heavily criticized for doing so.

No, nothing's been proven yet in the situation, something that'll likely never change.

Nonetheless, after today it definetely appears that the anti-Rodgers folk have some ammo for their argument, with Rodgers admitting on his radio show this morning that he told Sherman after the contest that he "hopes he gets some work this year."

So yeah, he apparently said that during the post-game handshakes. Does it mean that Green Bay really did avoid Sherman in the defeat? That's for you to decide.

McCarthy Denies Claim that Packers Refused to Throw to Sherman

Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy denied the claim that his team refused to throw to Seahawks CB Richard Sherman in Thursday night's loss.

"I don't think you ever make a conscious decision not to throw to one side of the field," McCarthy told the Green Bay Press-Gazette earlier today. "Frankly, it was more of a decision to put Jordy on the left and see if (Sherman) would come over and play him."

Now obviously, Sherman never ended up doing that, something that should only make this quote look worse. In my eyes, it seems to be nothing but an excuse, a misfortune that will likely make the Pack look weak.
