We have been here before

The Hawks are fine. The Hawks are literally getting ready to roll. 11 to 13 wins and another playoff win is a minimum for this team. We have been here before. Relax.

Well my memory is quite fine and I have been a fan since about 1981 and I am quite frustrated with this pile of poo that they call an offensive line. It wouldn't be so frustrating if it wasn't a yearly occurrence.

Thanks for that refreshing post, BlueBlood. It's good to see some sensibility.

Nice story :greetingsearthling:

I get it. They haven't done well, Russel seems to be off in la la land and he is not above reproach. That said it sounds like you have 2 years on me and perhaps you are as hardcore as I am. Just I wonder, have we ever had a great oline under Pete? No, serviceable at best and without Lynch playing the part of wrecking ball. I saw a lot of change from week one to week 2 in blocking scheme and I think it continues to be tweaked. A couple heads could roll but it won't be Pete, Bevell or Cable. I see Graham being traded and Lacey has days numbered. Its a work in progress and progress will it be.

Started slow last year if I recall. Won 12-10 against the Dolphins, lost 3-9 against the Rams the next week, then won 37-18 against the 49ers. Maybe things will start clicking for the offense and put up a good showing this week. Lot of new pieces on this O.

a 1-1 start for a very good team playing not to lose until the wrinkles are ironed out. Its a long season and a cherished history. Enjoy the future blokes! This season is going to be special. I made a post like this in 2013 as well and it turned out OK.

So, in your last life as one if the band members on the Titanic, what instrument did you play?

I hear you fellow fan. I recognized what wad brewing in 10-13 and it came to fruition. After 14 things seemed to go stupid

I like your positivity, but these I am a better fan posts don't usually rally the troops.

I watched the first Hawk game..it wasn't memorable.
I remember before the season during the expansion drafts, we lost the right for the first Collgate draft and remember being really sad by it, turned out it was Lee Roy Selmon we would have gotten, we drafted some bum as I recall and the franchise draft we went for older past their prime players ..

I have been a fan a long time

They are not fine. I dont see how going life and death with one of the worst teams is fine. Sure they will probably win anywhere from 10-12 games just because of the defense and wilson heroics. but once the playoffs come and they run into another elite team like ATL they will lose.

This offense is worse than terrible. They made the packers and 49ers look like the 02 bucs and 2000 ravens.

Or there could be some folks who remember the end of the Holmgren era when the team got bad and feel that this team is having its own decline. I hope that you're right, but this team feels like its about to crash and have a couple bad years.

Yeah, remeber the fun 2007 season? That team had problems running the ball and had to throw it all season to win they went 10-6 but the problems with the running backs and aging defense were still there and showed up when the team got blown out by Green Bay then they followed it up with a 4-12 and 5-11 seasons.

For me, I have watched them for decades, and there have been stretches that I did other things with my sundays because it was so bad. I never rooted for another team, but at the same time I was sick of watching the shitshow for 4 hours.

Well there is a lot of "The End is Near" going on around here.

Fire everybody, turn out the lights and go home.

Last week they were saying the same things in New England. Some of the headlines they showed on TV were atrocious.

Let's not over react, it's a long season and there are 14 more games left.

Yeah for real. THE HAWKS DO THIS EVERY YEAR

It's all in how you look at it. 1-1, and haven't played nearly up to their capabilities as a whole. I'll take it, and I believe.
