This is nothing new for Sherman

Mike Sherman is at his best when the chips are down, when his back is against the wall, when the going gets tough.

Fill in your favorite cliché, but understand this: Sherman has faced adversity before and knows how to handle the pressure.

He again must draw on that experience following the Packers’ disheartening 17-3 season-opening defeat to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Stumbling to an 0-1 start was bad enough, but losing Pro Bowl receiver Javon Walker to a season-ending knee injury was a crushing blow.

Hopes for a winning record, let alone a playoff berth or Super Bowl run, are dwindling. It doesn’t look good for the Packers.

But it’s in the midst of such dire circumstances that Sherman normally shines. He knows about hard times and somehow finds a way to bounce back.

they beat atl in GB in Vick's first full year of starting for the falcons.

Anywho, point being, the Packers getting off to a relatively slow start is nothing new.

We've said this before, but the Packers tend to get into gear after the midway pt...remember how the season turned around after the Freeman MNF catch...they were ~3-5, finished 9-7. The last 2 seasons are examples of this as well.

In the face of adversity Mike Sherman's teams sure haven't won in the playoffs.

I believe MS will determine his own immediate destiny this year.
