Ugly first halves ... ugly ... ugly .. ugly ...

RW's first year at QB, we went to Atlanta and were down 20-0 at half time (if I remember) ... but mounted a courageous comeback and took the lead ... to lose the game on a last minute Kick in the dome. That was Jan 14, 2013.

Last year, we went down to Charlotte and were down 31-0 at half time (if i remember) ... but couldn't overcome the massive deficit and our season was over. That was Jan. 2016

How do we fix that? Let Devin Haster return some kicks ... in his former home ... and stick one to the Falcons. .. OK. Joking, aside ... but my point is ...

We can't afford to fall asleep in the first half. We have had some of the most pathetic first half of football this year. And we have had some of the most disastrous away games this season. At AZ, at Tampa, at GB, at LA ... just to think of a few.

I get your point and it is true, must not fall into a hole like those games. But ATL is a 2 seed, not 1.

Good thing there is more than just historical analysis

One nice thing....if you think the early start on the East Coast is a factor, both those game were 10 am Pacific time starts. This one isn't.

evergreen · Jan 9, 2017

It's 2:30 et. Split the difference between eascoast 1:00 and west coast 1:00. I was hoping for a night game.

Right on.

Also, the Hawks have a belief that games are won in the 4th quarter as part of their coaching. While this may be true I think it also makes them lax in the first quarter because they can play harder in the 4th quarter. The Hawks need to get back to jumping on them right away! Lets get some points right off like we did against Denver.

A functional run game will help early game bad passes, dropped balls, etc that usually kill drives

Erebus · Jan 10, 2017

I think a big reason for both of those slow starts (besides the 10 AM start time) was the fact that we were on a second consecutive east coast road trip. In 2012 we played at Washington the week before. Last year we played at Minnesota the week before. Although Minnesota is not technically on the east coast, it was still a 10 AM start time in sub zero weather. We were drained.

We will be better rested this time and won't have to worry about an early start.

Uh...No. It's 4:30 est. My time zone. The guide on my DVR confirms this. I just set up for the recording today.

The Minnesota game killed us last year. Playing in that type of weather is not normal and the body does not respond well to it. I read a piece on the first Giants v Pack game in lambo Favres last game. Half the giants defense was sick the week following the game with respiratory stuff. The lungs just aren't made to function in that cold.

But yes, both the games mentioned in the op were 10 am, back to back east coast trips.....

Wait..what. I'm pretty sure the Giants went on to win the superbowl that year

There is a two week break between the nfccg and the superbowl. We had to play @ Carolina the next week.

Wait, when did I miss the Falcons jumping the Cowboys into the #1 seed?

AgentDib · Jan 10, 2017

Both of those games were at 10 am EST on the road against very good opponents. Mystery solved.

classicaaron · Jan 10, 2017

so basically if the hawks can keep this within 10 at half does anyone here think we don't win the game based on the second half performances this year?

This appears to be a troll post.... :roll:

I don't ever expect to be down 10 to the Falcons, but if we do find ourselves down 10 I am still confident we can win the game. This team is tough, and will bring it through all 4 quarters (five if necessary). :les:

The Seahawks have fared well in the morning games this season. They beat the Jets this year in an early game. That's the only early game I can recall. I think they played the Saints, Bucs, and Packers in an afternoon game. They didn't do well in those - all road losses. Hopefully that is now changed since it's playoff time.

SoulfishHawk · Jan 10, 2017

Will some people EVER learn that no lead is out of reach with Wilson under center? We have seen them come back so many times.

Do u remember our last 2 games against a #1 seeds ?
