It seems as if the forum has been bombarded by panicky posts about our offense. Why? Look at the team and tell me truly why you're freaking out!? I'm hoping these are just troll posts by Niner fans or Chicken Little has multiple screen names, because I don't get it.
-We lost Harvin!? WE NEVER HAD HIM! He's icing on the cake. And that's not a knock on him, I'd love to have him back, but why all the fuss about this? Disappointment is natural, but this isn't gonna lose us the game.
-We didn't beat down the Saints as bad as last time? THE SECOND TIME IS NEVER AS EASY! The Saints have a top 5 defense and arguably one of the best QB/Coach tandems ever. But we beat them, in gale force winds, in rain. Be happy.
-This is the playoffs. No team is EASY. Stop getting disappointed when there aren't blowouts. A win is a win is a win. And in the playoffs a win is all that matters.

Does it look like offensive yards or TDs are the issue compare to our opponents? I don't. These are admittedly averages, there are of course outliers. We average 26 points per game. Not bad.
-Our passing game is weakening? Oh please. Russell has NEVER been Aaron Rodgers. He orchestrates. He makes the throws that matter and has never made a mistake that has cost us a game. AND he's shown he can lead the big comebacks.
-Our WR's can't get separation. This is the ONLY spot I'll give a little, because it's true. But it's ALWAYS been this way. The only thing we're missing is Rice. It's surprising how much difference it makes having a tall guy on the field. But this hasn't stopped Doug, Tate and Kearse from making big plays. Luke
-Beast Mode? Nobody questions Beast Mode.
Basically, the tools are all there. I'm not trying to be cocky, but have some confidence Hawk fans! We play a great team this weekend. Their defensive line is a damn good. Their QB is slippery like a greased eel. They have Crabtree back. BUT we've got Clemons and Irvin back. We've got a full offensive line. We've got the 12th Man!
Go Hawks!
