Yeah, Russ almost pulled off another one, and I thought we'd done it again! No go, obviously.
This team is getting older, may as well admit it. The D has lost its edge, and the money has been pulled from the offense to keep the D intact. It's gotta give at some point, and now is the time where we just may have to pay the price. So now the "paid" defense has kicked us in the balls. There are decisions to be made in this coming off-season. What those decisions are I can't even really imagine. Those first glory years of the Carroll/Schneider administration were an aberration, aided by miraculous picks at bargain-basement prices, so we could spread the love out, financially. This is now how we are paying the price for it... How do the Patriots do it? They cut big names and replace. Hard decisions to be made. I forgot how hard losing was. And a big chunk or our "fan" base has never known losing. I'm in 'till the end. And I'll still be there if we become S.O.S. again. Hawks FOREVER! (Plus, this season ain't over! We could fix shit and catch fire. A part of me is almost expecting it!) GO HAWKS!
P.S. I think Earl Thomas missing is 85% of our problem on D. Yeah, he's THAT important!
