Everybody and his brother has already commented on the firing of Mike Sherman by Ted E. Thompson (genius). Allow me to add my two cents’ worth of stats:
2-4 – playoff record under Sherman (0-2 on the road)
2-4 – home opener record under Sherman
12-12 – home record since the 2002 season (capped by the first home playoff loss in team history) Homer nod – that 12-12 is the regular-season record since 2002; make it 13-13 including the playoffs.
Sherman’s firing was a year late. Hopefully, Bob Harlan comes to his senses quickly and fires Wile E. Thompson (suuuuper genius) before the draft so we’re not also left a dollar short.
As for Brett Favre, it’s been a great ride. We’ll miss those bullet passes off the back foot 40 yards downrange, the fire with which he played, and the playground improvs – unfortunately with Aaron Rodgers, it looks like we won’t lose the bonehead passes that turn into picks. There had to be a reason why 23 teams between the Niners and the Packers, some of whom really needed a quarterback, passed on him in the draft when he was talked about in the same breath as #1 pick Alex Smith (oops, another bust).
