Richard Sherman is out for the season (boo), but now his Twitter game is on fire (yay)

The league is without one of its best cornerbacks since Richard Sherman’s season ended with a torn Achilles in Week 10 against the Cardinals. But if there’s a silver lining, it’s that it’s given one of the sharpest players in the NFL more time to tweet about football.

Sherman’s a big talker on the field, but his Twitter account is usually pretty tame. But he wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts on Sunday’s games with us on Twitter.

Sherman’s no different from every other NFL fan. He was not impressed by the Bills’ decision to bench Tyrod Taylor for rookie Nathan Peterman.

Sean McDermott announced that Peterman would get the start against the Chargers after Taylor went 9-of-18 for 56 yards and a pick in the Bills’ 47-10 loss to the Saints in Week 10. In Week 11, the Bills had to yank Peterman from the game after he set an NFL record for the most picks in one half with five.

The Bills only had one passing touchdown on the day. Sherman would like to remind you that Peterman didn’t throw it.

The Bills were 5-4 and in the playoff hunt heading into Sunday’s game against the Chargers. But the loss has them at .500 and on the outside looking into the playoff picture right now.

Sherman pointed out what an obvious mistake it was for the Bills to throw Peterman into starting this week.

The Bills’ best shot at winning is to start Taylor. If they don’t, Sherman will probably have some things to say about it.

Sherman was like the Twitter version of Tony Romo during the Eagles’ 37-9 win over the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

He gave us smart football insight:

And pointed out mistakes:

The defense was carrying the Eagles in the first half, harassing Dak Prescott relentlessly and forcing him, uncharacteristically, into turnovers. But the offense kept turning those chances into punts instead of points. Maybe the Eagles saw Sherman’s tweet at halftime — they went on to outscore the Cowboys 30-0 in the second half.

Sherman understands the NFL rulebook better than most refs probably do. He chimed in with former Giants and Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck to complain about the flaws in the league’s roughing the passer rule.

While Sherman’s commentary was mostly spot on, he wasn’t right every single time.

You can’t win them all.

Sherman had successful surgery to repair his Achilles last week, and he’s on the mend. While he’s healing up, we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on his tweets on game days for the rest of the season.
