For Hawk fans attending the game, make some time to check this out - right next to the superdome: Champions Square
It's a fun atmosphere. They sell food/beer there and have live music.
From their website:
I think opponents no longer have to scheme or worry about Russell doing damage with his legs - so they come after him aggressively without much risk of his Houdini-magic burning them. Despite C-Mike's occasional 12 yard rush (which could be 20+ if he wasn't always diving forward to the ground...
It might be a risky assessment, but I don't think there's a huge delta in talent between Kearse and Kevin Smith and Kasen Williams. The latter two guys are under contract in 2016 for $525k and $450k respectively.
IMO, Kearse isn't worth potentially $3-4m more than those WR's, and we should...
Agreed, HawFan72. But what I found a bit unique, was that we were only 2-3 plays from winning a game that we were down by 31 at one point!
Anyways, I'm probably in the "Dialogue and Bargaining" stage of grief right now. In a few days, I'll reach "Acceptance". Go Hawks.
48 hours later, I can't stop thinking how these plays would have made a win for us much more possible:
1 - Russel's pick-6 INT
2 - Not kicking the chip-shot FG at end of 2nd quarter
3 - Wilson overthrowing wide-open Baldwin in the 4th QTR - sure touchdown.
Congrats to the Panthers, they...
I believe Richard Sherman's comments that Marshawn is a great teammate, and nobody questions his heart. If he's able, he will play. If he doesn't play, it's not because of some other issue - it's because he's not physically ready.
I completely agree.
Cam scored 45 touchdowns this year. 45. He's been consistent. His team is 15-1. Say what you will about their schedule, they still went 15-1. Russell has had a great year - historic in a stretch, but not as consistent and his team lost 5 more games. Why does it matter...
Cardinals - 34
Seahawks - 17
Cardinals hitting on all cylinders and playing for #1 seed. Both team have injuries, but I think Hawks' are more impactful. Besides that, Cardinals are also consistently a better team right now.
First half was pretty much a disaster on 1st down. Results improved in 2nd half, but it was still feast-or-famine.
