Completely agree- his play calling was very frustrating at times the last few years. In hindsight he was probably rightly focused on the limitations of the personnel at the time. When you have few personnel limitations, the play calling can get awesome. He's going to get a ton of credit this...
5-1. I bet it goes down after we thump Greenbay. :)
Go Hawks!
I looked at Bovada when you wrote that because I recall seeing it lower back earlier in the summer. I was shocked to see Bovada actually have it at 6/1 as of yesterday afternoon. I checked in again this morning.... 4/1.
I think...
I am curious -- has anybody developed a true market for existing bets that can be bought or sold prior to payoff? In other words, say I think the Jags are undervalued-- I can bet Jags to make the playoffs at +800 at bovada right now (I actually have done this for a very small wager). If they are...
It's the regional coverage that matters during non-primetime slots. I found quite a few weeks where here in the bay area the Hawks were featured-- I think it had to do with being in the same division as the Whiners. That, and their inferiority complex.
I think Fox only gets one game that day, so they may opt for a morning game even outside of the local SF market, like DET @ NE. I live in Sonoma, so I think I'm in the local market for both the Raiders AND the Whiners.
I'm always supremely interested in when the Hawks will be on prime time and when I might be able to catch them on regular broadcasts anyway, usually when OAK or SF are not playing at the same time or there is not a more interesting national game on at the same time. Otherwise it's off to the bar...
I like where your head is at and I sure as sh*t don't want the players thinking about accolades and the like. But one of the privileges of being a fan is that you get to do that-- because it is unlikely to affect the play on the field :)
Pretty sure MVP gets decided before the SB-- I think it's based solely on regular season performance. The Hawks as a run-first team narrative is likely to change somewhat this year. Vegas has Wilson as a 20/1 long shot to win MVP. While there are certainly other players more likely to win based...
Thanks- that sounds about right. RW and the 1st receiving core for one series, maybe give the O-line a bit more for cohesiveness-- a full quarter or two from them would be great. The ones on D seem like they could play a bit longer-- maybe the whole 1st quarter... would be great to see Malcolm...
I'm asking because I'm going. Does RW see any action? Defensive starters for how long? Do we see the likes of Percy, ETIII returning kicks? The Hawks have been so aggressive personnel wise this pre-season, which I love. Is it over?
Got these offers from my group tix for the game @SD. Hopefully anybody can use them.
I also have 6 tix left in my group of 20 for Hawks fans only. PM me if interested.
Go Hawks!

I'm going with 3 other Hawks fans and will be wearing a jersey. I might make a sign that says "At least we're not Whiner fans"--
but in general, don't be an a-hole and you'll be fine.
