All told, this is San Francisco's division to lose and Seattle only has a chance if the Niners get extremely unlucky with injuries or if Purdy turns into a pumpkin.

I legitimately cannot believe multiple people picked the Seahawks to win the division. This team is already dead and buried.

Firing Darrell Bevell is really turning out to be way more of a monkey's paw situation than even I anticipated. We keep getting fool's gold offenses that get solved in the last quarter of every season and now we can't even make it that far even with a receiving corps everyone penciled as top 5 preseason.

Given how some of our seasons have started 2-1 is fine, but I'm really disappointed in how the secondary has played so far. Every source I could see thought it was their defensive strength but we still call some of the softest zones in the NFL that get carved up every week, and we still die to tight ends just running up the seam. I don't think it's going to get any better when Jamal Adams comes back either, not with his injury history.

There was really never any point after the Super Bowl loss where you could argue the Hawks were any better than the 3rd best team in the league. Maybe it's my sports PTSD, but there was never a sense we'd beat the playoff teams we lost to, or that talent-wise we were real contenders. Not Carolina, not Green Bay, not even Dallas that one year. For as wild and crazy as most of our regular season games have been over the years, our playoff games since SB49 have mostly been pretty bland affairs except the Vikings game. We've beaten who we were favored against but never upset anyone, either.

I will say that after the Super Bowl years the team definitely has had a bad trend of coming out flat and unprepared for playoff games. Carolina, Atlanta, Green Bay, Rams, to name a few. Terrible old man football gameplans on offense and/or getting carved up on defense, which put us in situations even RWBS couldn't overcome. For the most part, the Hawks have been gatekeepers to the Divisional Round, just like the Packers (and now I guess the Niners ) have been gatekeepers to the Championship Games.

Really, the surest sign that I won't believe in the Hawks doing anything major this season is the fact that they got blown the gently caress out by the Rams.

I mean, a lot of why people talked up JSN as a draft pick was that he could be the short to intermediate target across the middle that we've lacked. If he's not being put in that position, I'm thinking some of the blame there might lay at Waldron's feet as well.

It really, really feels like unless something goes horribly awry, you can write in the Niners for at least the NFCCG right now. In pen.

The Eagles are the only reason why I didn't put this down. But for all the poo poo talking about how poo poo the NFC is I don't see an AFC team that can match the Niners, not with the Bills losing the way they have right after blowing out the Dolphins. But then again I've said "just hand the Packers the Lombardi now" in years past and look what happened there.

The thing is, the Hawks do have a lot of young talent, but are also very thin and/or bad up front on both sides year after year. This isn't going to change, so we won't be serious contenders. I'm just along for the ride.

I don't know if Geno is a good enough QB where he can have a run of games playing out of his mind in the playoffs like Flacco or Foles, or whether the team around him is good enough to win if he plays like that, but there's only one way to know for sure.

DK really is incredibly overrated, maybe the most overrated player in the whole league, and I hope a team out there is dumb enough to offer a high pick for him so the Hawks can make him someone else's problem.

Ornery and Hornery posted:That doesn’t mean they are likely to make substantial progress in the playoffs. Carroll has a history of losing wildcard games when he has the more talented team, much less when facing roughly equally talented trams. This part here is absolutely not true, the only game I can think of where this was the case was the Cowboys game (and that was the year Bobby was injured). The last 2 years we did not have the more talented team, the offense was totally cooked for all of December before facing the Rams and last year was the Niners buzzsaw.

Purdy being bad/hurt the last couple weeks has kind of overshadowed Geno not playing very well, too. It's hard to tell whether Geno is turning back into a pumpkin or if it's something he can overcome.

I know the term's been memed to a level where it doesn't mean anything anymore, but the Hawks are about as close to a fraud team as there is right now. Just deceptively awful across the board.

Both Earl and Kam had years and/or their careers cut short by injuries as well. Kam probably could have been in the Hall on the first or second ballot if he'd played 3 or 4 more seasons at the level before his injury, and if he'd won Super Bowl MVP like he deserved. I agree that Sherm and Bobby, and maybe Pete because of his sustained regular season success are the only ones who will get in. Frankly, if they'd gotten that second ring, there's a solid chance that with time others on the team like Marshawn would have eventually been inducted. But that's for an alternate better universe to consider.

It feels weird to think that the Hawks are 6-3 going on 7-7 at best, and the Ravens losing like that makes us look even more fraudulent than we already have looked.

At this point, the Seahawks should tank for a better draft pick. They won't, but they should because they won't make the playoffs with their remaining schedule.

Every facet of the Seahawks is absolutely terrible from coordinators to every position group on the field. Hurtt is an awful DC for the amount of talent we have, Waldron can't scheme guys open for poo poo, our star players don't perform at all except Bobby Wagner, it's just all absolute poo poo. I loving hate watching this team.

The thing is, Lock will most likely go for 150 yards and 3 INTs this week. Which is fine, I don't expect much better. What's way more worrying to me is that we had a solid period of the team looking like geniuses for dumping Russ and trending in the right direction with rebuilding, but now the pendulum has swung back to what we all suspected in the first place.
