    Enough said.

    Cary Williams out, Deshawn Shead in

    Anyone else notice Williams got pulled mid way through the 3rd quarter for Shead? It seemed to me like the defense changed night and day- the secondary especially just seemed more relaxed and ready to make more plays. I think Cary Williams has affected the play of the secondary much much more...

    Shefter reports Lynch returning

    Just saw it on ESPN news, no link, sorry.

    Why the slant?

    I understand the logic behind passing the ball in that situation. Run down the clock so Pats can't respond, kill the clock with a pass play with two more plays and a TO in your back pocket. Got it. But why the inside slant? Do you not remember Braylon Edwards on 4th down and goal against the...

    Front 7 play critical tomorrow (not LOB)

    Just re watched the season opener last night- IMO the play of the front 7 will be key to both containing Lacy and also disrupting Rodgers throws on passing downs. We played really good coverage in the opener but if you give Aaron enough time, it doesn't matter. He can thread the passes into...

    I expect a closer game against SF

    Everyone is calling for a blowout against the sinking Forty Whiners this weekend. These are the situations where the opposite tends to happen. This in a weird way is almost a trap game for us in terms of the Arizona game coming up next week. I'm not sure SF beats us, but I bet they make it...

    A few observations

    Anyone notice that the Eagles seem to know our audibles? Every time Russell said the "alert alert" audible they knew it was going to be a run play and they knew which side they were running it to by their finger pointing. Byron Maxwell is probably our best slot corner, played a hell of a game...

    SF and the Power Running Game

    I'm pretty sure of the stat that if Frank Gore gets over a 100 yards against us they always win. The Hawks over the past several years have not played well against power running teams (ie. KC & Dallas this season). SF is another power running team. If the Hawks want to have any chance of...

    Why do we not max protect more?

    Our best pass play today was off of Max protect to Willson who was wide open off the scramble. Granted it initially limits us to only 2 receivers but the key IMO is that max protect gives RW plenty of time to scramble and improvise. It's hard to see him getting hurried or sacked everytime he...

    Is this the worst the offense has looked under RW?

    Ok, maybe the Arizona and St. Louis game his rookie season might be comparable but it's been a long time since I've seen the offense look so inept. Granted, the offensive line is garbage right now with all the backups but I also see bad route running, poor TE play, numerous penalties on the...

    Offense played great, defense and ST stank

    If you want to be a championship team, you can't be giving up 25-30 points per game. It's happened in all our losses this year and it points directly to a flawed defense. In my opinion, special teams is a direct offshoot of defense, so they go hand in hand. Three ST blunders today and in...

    LOS

    Today's game was lost at the LOS on both sides of the ball. Even to the amateur eye, it was pretty obvious which line was pushing whose at the snap of the ball, and it wasn't the guys with the Seahawks helmets. You can say what you want about RW playing poorly, bad play calling, using our...

    Punt Returns

    Haven't posted here in a while, but good to see all the upgrades on the website. I'm sure the topic has been brought up before but I hope the front office is working on upgrading Brian Walters for our punt returns. I suppose it's too late at this point to expect a change in personnel this...

    How effective will Sherman be on Sunday?

    I feel like the more controversial and 'against the grain' Sherm is the better he performs. I'm not so sure I like this 'new' and 'tamed' Sherm. He sounds a bit too 'nice' and 'politically correct'. I don't think it will but I have to admit I've had a few thoughts about whether all the recent...

    Tom Brady, Sherm, and the Hawks

    Tom Brady this morning on a local radio show in Boston: "I don't know him at all. I've watched him play and he's that kind of guy. I approach the game and I have respect for my opponents. That's the way our team always plays. We win with graciousness and when we lose we can do better. Some...

    This is Russell's game to win or lose

    I truly think this game against Denver hinges on Russell Wilson more than any of the other playoff games so far. I firmly believe that as awesome as our defense is Peyton Manning will move the ball on us and score. A smart way to negate the effect of a great defense is to employ a great...

    11 Carries 14 Yards

    Gore's stat line. Incredible. This continues to be the key to beating SF. You stop their 'sophisticated' running attack and you put all the onus on a QB that I truly believe can't handle the 12th Man. You gotta give it up to Pete- an extremely conservative philosophy, and a very 'old school'...

    Does the "hot team" always win?

    Wasn't Carolina the "hot team" in '06 before getting smacked by Seattle in the NFCCG? I seem to remember that everyone was talking about Steve Smith and how unstoppable he was the week leading up to the game. They were a wild card too and had taken out a tough Chicago team on the road in super...

    Kaepernick says SF different team now

    Said in post game interviews that they didn't have "key components" last time they played in Seattle. I assume they mean Crabtree? Who else did they not have that is "key" and playing now? I know they've lost all their fullbacks since then. Gore will have a tough time against our D you can...

    Offensive Line play will be key against SF

    I'm not worried at all about our defense, I really don't think SF will score more than 20 points. The critical question then is can the Hawks score more than 20 points on SF? My opinion is that the key to this will be the play of the offensive line. Of course, having Harvin is also a key, but...
