Sherman declares it’s ‘panic mode’ for 49ers after loss to Cardinals originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Richard Sherman articulated what many 49ers fans are feeling after Sunday’s 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium.
San Francisco’s second devastating loss to an NFC West division opponent in three weeks sent many of the Faithful into an emotional tailspin, including the veteran cornerback, who expressed his level of concern for the 49ers on the latest episode of his “Richard Sherman Podcast.”

You’re not winning this game and you’re the more talented team walking into the stadium each and every time.
“You could talk about the injuries, you could talk about the heat, you could make excuses but these are the games you’ve got to dominate and they’re not dominating them. I mean, out-coached them, out-played them, out-efforted them, out-ran them.
“It’s tough to watch, it was tough to watch this game, especially in the second half, Brandon Aiyuk finally gets to shine but now we turn the ball over three times. You know, it’s like you fix one problem, something else breaks. That seems to be the luck of the draw this season with the San Francisco 49ers.”
