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.
