Our Playoffs Outlook

[chet380]

Wilson likely has been, and continues to play with torn ligaments in his knee. Wilson has been hurt, earl, sherm, kam, bennett, every running back, locket, all injured at some point. I mean the list goes on. Jimmy has been playing all year on a knee that few come back from. Plus, with less than decent o line play, they are a ten win team, division champs and heading to the playoffs. And it isn't enough. When did this fan base become so entitled?

Right from the pre-season it was "Super Bowll!", "Super Bowl!!", "Super Bowl!!" even though there were alarming signs at all the OL positions, the DL lacked an up-the-middle pass rusher and the RB situation was far from satisfactory. And then the injuries hit -- many, but RW's was the most significant. When the regular season started the OL was exposed as woeful, the offense couldn't score and even more injuries.

The reaction of "the entitled"? Not "Jeez, we're having a run of bad luck and we hope that we can pull out of this mess", but rather shrieks of outrage that the Super Bowl was no longer a prospect and an avalanche of finger-pointing and criticism -- "Fire Bevell!!" (ad nauseam), "Fire Cable!!", "Fire Richard!!".

Take a step back, folks, and consider our recent good fortune -- a Super Bowl win, playoff success, an outstanding defense and an elite young QB -- a situation that the fans in Jax and Cleveland would kill for.

So let's chalk this one up as "not our year" and take what's coming like real fans -- not incessant negativity, but "Wait until you see us next year!"

Positivity and GO HAWKS!!

If this were facebook, I'd be slamming the 'Like' button! We take care of business on Saturday and we're looking at our fifth divisional playoff game in as many years. Nobody else in the NFC has done that.
