This is likely Robinson's attempt at being perceived as "neutral."
TwistedHusky said:The umbrage about this confuses me. There was another thread about people not picking the Hawks as a threat to the SB.
Think about this from the perspective of a person that is not a fan, just an objective observer that is seeing an NFL they have no connection with.
A team where the following was true last year:
No run game
One of the worst offensive lines in NFL
A QB that rarely scores more than a single TD in the first half of each game.
An offense so bad even a good % the team's own fans did not watch the first halves of games.
Now add:
The dismantling of the defense that was the team's strength, primarily of the DL and secondary.
A loss of 2 of the top 3 key TD receiving threats
A key division foe that normally this team struggles with, suddenly getting better at the very things that were the weaknesses of this foe (ie the secondary)
A key out of division obstacle (Green Bay) suddenly getting better and only being as bad last year because their starting QB was hurt.
Who in their right mind picks the above team to be much of a threat period? Much less a SB? /quote]
Incomplete picture. That team last year went 9-7 and was largely undone by a bad kicker situation. This year they've lost some pieces, but they've also gained most likely a functional running game and some improvement on the OL. Marginal improvement, at least.
So I would think this year's Hawks would get the benefit of a doubt. Earl Thomas is the wild card.
Cause all his former teammates are almost gone? Just a guess.Aros":2m9hm5s4 said:QuickLightning":2m9hm5s4 said:Seahawks are rebuilding. Shouldn't be a surprise people think they will lose a lot.
I would expect better from someone who played in the NFL and knows this team. Split the series? Sure. Flat out get swept? Come on Mike Rob! Why the haterade?

Mike Rob's never tried to be anything but genuine, I don't think he's "attempting" to do anything.
It's his opinion, and it's not like he's alone in thinking the Hawks are in for a tough year in their division. The Niners are a good young team that have loaded their roster with great young players through the draft and trades.
So not much to argue with. Personally I think we split, but I could definitely see us struggling in 2018 as well, and that means maybe getting swept by the Niners if their young talent pops.
