For those that missed it, the Cardinals had a trio of significant injuries on their defense in the last two weeks. First, they lost DE Bertrand Barry, their dynamic pass-rushing defensive end for the year. Then, they lost starting CB Eric Green for the year. And now, they’ve lost their...
I will take a look at what happened for the Seahawks and the NFC each week and update my predicted record for the Hawks and the Top 5 teams in the NFC. I will try to do this each Wednesday. Seahawks Stock: RisingPre-season Predicted Record: 10-6Current Predicted Record: 11-5 As...
It’s been incredibly annoying to lose access to Hawks press conferences and player interviews this season. Mike Sando used to post them on his blog, but the NFL did a cease and desist and said that audio would only be available through NFL.com or the teams themselves. Stupid, but okay,...
Note that this is Seattle’s high point in team strength so far this year. Dallas would appear to have a significant advantage over Green Bay this week. The thing that numbers can never capture is that Favre is a stud and Romo is an idiot. That matters in big games....
I watched the second half of the game again in about 20 mins (thank you DVR!). Chris Gray had a horrible game. That guy looks done. He was beaten on running plays, passing plays, physical plays and mental plays. I assumed the Hawks were playing mind games a bit when...
I’ve stolen a few moments today to update my Hawks 2007 stat sheet to see if there are any interesting trends. I paid special attention to the last three games when the Hawks have moved to their “pass first” offense, and found some interesting stats. Let’s start there. Has the...
How does Rackers miss a 32-yarder to win? That one has to sting. We owe our buddy Dilfer a “Thank you” next time he is in town. That game against the Cards is basically to clinch the division. If we were to win that game, we would have to lose...
People (myself included) spend way too much time picking apart wins. I’ve learned to crack open a beer and just enjoy it. Today was a perfect example of why. The Hawks came out flat. They made a lot of mistakes and a lot of *bad* mistakes, but they wind up...
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I certainly am thankful to be back home in Seattle with another cross-country trip with my young boys behind me. The only thing more stressful than a Seahawks lead in the 4th quarter is anticipating being trapped in a cramped plane for 6...
Things are definitely settling in with the rankings as we get further into the season. A few funky things happened where the Hawks had a solid win but lost a spot on the strength of Tampa’s blowout and the Bears lost, but gained a spot due to the Bills getting...
