The Grim Reality Of Us Starting 0-2

[hawksfansinceday1]

We win next week in a very close game.

I predicted an 0-2 start. I do think in the end we will be fine

 

[ImTheScientist]

When the schedule got released, I think most Hawk fans knew that there was a decent chance we start 0-2. I said it is more likely we start 0-2 than 2-0. I was hoping for at least 1-1.

We will likely be at least a 3 point underdog going into Green Bay next week, probably more. Personally, I am expecting a loss next week as GB is out for revenge, and I think at this point they are just the better team right now.

The good news is after week 2, pretty much every game is winnable.

You also thought Lockett was trash .... Just sayin.

1-1 here we come

Dion Bailey and Cary Williams were terrible today. Rodgers is licking his chops.

 

[Rob12]

0-2 is a near certainty. I think we finish 10-6 this season and will have to be on the road in the playoffs.

 

[MrThortan]

Only thing I know is that we are 0-1 this week. Next week's winner is not set in stone. I admit, the outlook is not good, but I think we can win. We could have won against the Rams if just a few things were changed. Hoping to be 1-1 by the end of next week's game.

 

[TheHawkster]

Did everyone forget we were 3-3 last year? Where did we end up?
That was the best D-Line we'll see all year.

We're fine.
Shoulda thrown it. lol

Your thinking of someone else. I've never said Lockett was trash. If anything, I've been talking him up since the day we drafted him.

0-2, so very grim! The horror!

 

[LickMyNuts]

I would rather finish well then start well. If this team stays healthy they will be fine.

We should have thrown a slant to Lockette.

 

[Hawks46]

If Foles put up 300 on us, Rodgers will eviscerate us.

We'll go 0-2, but it's not the end of the world. I'm going to feel bad for CHI and DET when we get back home being 0-2 though.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

IMO the script seems pretty obvious for the first 4 games.

We start 0-2....the sky is falling.

We wipe the floor with the Bears and Lions at the CLink in weeks 3 and 4.

The real test will be week 5 in Cincinnati. As much as we like to poke fun at their ginger QB, they are still a very good football team, especially at home.

I'm not worried at all, and won't be if we lose to GB next week, I just think we got a tough schedule to start the year. I could easily see us running the table until the Vikings game in week 13. IMO the middle part of our schedule is very favorable.

In the Seahawks Prediction thread I predicted back-to-back losses to start the season, and then back-to-back losses to the Vikings and Ravens in weeks 13 and 14. I still think we finish 12-4.

 

[SonicHawk]

Green Bay's defense didn't exactly look amazing today.

 

[Overseasfan]

These two games are the hardest on the schedule and we traditionally need a few games to get going, we should be fine.

However, this doesn't mean that we will suddenly win all other games. Most think they will be fired up after two losses but I'm pretty sure they will be devastated. For now it might be time to forget about the play offs and take every game week by week.

 

[rjdriver]

0-2 is where I spent a lot of my time as a Seahawks fan the last 40 years. I'll take this teams 0-2 over all the others. Lots of new variables, they need time to gel and they need to get the 31 thing resolved one way or another. We should be alright.

 

[c_hawkbob]

For all the old PI posters: 0-2 would be a disaster.

How much do you think "revenge" is going to play a factor in a professional sporting event?

Like the first minute? 2 minutes?

If the game is tied with 5 minutes to go do you think "revenge" is going to be on the minds of the Green Bay players? Would they not play as hard if they had lost to Dallas instead of us last year?

How is Green Bay a better team "right now?" Analyze this for us. Outside the unquantifiable "revenge" factor, how are they better as a team?

I swear this is the NFL. I swear it's professional sports with highly paid athletes and coaches. I swear, despite reading some of the nonsense on here the past 24 hours, our fans know this to be true.

I'm probably in the minority but I think we win next week. Green Bay doesn't have a DL like the Rams and they gave up almost 200 yards rushing. Even if we lose its not the end of the world. GB started 0-2 last year, we started 3-3 and both teams were fine. I think we right the ship next week and look much better.

Linebackers need to play better, we need to see more Clark on the field and I doubt Bailey falls down again at the worst possible time. Bevell was terrible, just wanted to make sure that point is known. :stirthepot:

 

[hawker84]

Dion Bailey and Cary Williams were terrible today. Rodgers is licking his chops.

You think Rogers picked on Maxwell last year? Wait and see what he does to these two... Nighty night. And if a third string tailback gashes us like that today, can't wait to see what Lacy does.

 

[Tech Worlds]

You guys act like this is some kinda surprise.

The possibility of starting 0-2 always loomed large when you looked at the schedule.

Let's see where we are at the half way point of the season. If we can be above 0.500 then we will be in good shape.

Put yer big boy pants on.
