If the Hawks play like that vs (insert good team)....

The Niners lost and tied the Rams last year.


And then went to the Super Bowl.

They also arguably have the best O line in the NFL. And that's the huge difference. They also miraculously stay healthy up front.

If we had SFs line, we would be unstoppable.

You mean Fisher?
I'm bothered my the last drive, that was exactly what was blamed on Bradley last year. How were allowed to drive all the way down to the end zone? Luckily they didn't finish.

It's more of a match up game than people give it credit for.
Knee jerk reactions during games can skew whats really happening.

Fans just assume that everyone on the field is 100% healthy.

The hawks D is comfortable inside the 10. The 5 especially.
Go back to the Rams prior short field goal and on 3rd down,
They dialed up the exact same zero coverage scheme as the last play of the game.

I guess having your LB's sucked in on counter moves allowing the back to get to the 2nd level consistently is a schematic problem and not a player execution problem?

We all know in between the 20's, they're super aggressive.
They jump and bite hard on first and second downs.

It's the cost of turnovers.
It's hard to complain about this defense when a bad day is 325 yards.

If teams play Seattle like the Rams did, I look forward to Seattle going to a fast paced no huddle offense rather soon.
