The Invincible Thread

[Chester McFloppy]

I think we're entering the first year where it's really without a doubt Russ' team. No Lynch and while the defense is still one of the best they've taken a step back I think its safe to say? He's entering a different stage of his development and will be required to do more. His past numbers and being a game manager were valid criticisms at the time but the eye test has always told me during that time he looked too good not to get better. The skill set and intangibles have always been there imo. Sounds silly but the general vibe i've gotten from him this past off-season just has me feeling he's primed to go off. And yeah, especially given how he finished last year.

I also kinda believe there's a direct correlation between the more jokes that get thrown at Russ' the better he does lol

but we'll see. interesting year for him.

Agree with everything you wrote except the part about the defense. They ended last year leading the league in DVOA, #2 overall, #2 passing, and #1 rushing -- and that's considered down for these dudes. Kam holding out a few games then proceeding to have the worst year of his career didn't help things. Seattle won't be 2013 good (which is fine considering that's probably the best defense I've ever seen) but they're still the best defense in the L.

If Russ plays even 80% as well as he did to end last season the Hawks won't lose more than 4 games this year.

This hurt to type.

Petty didn't look all that bad last night. I think it would be foolish to release him. But we know Geno isn't getting cut and neither is Hack; they aren't letting a 2nd round pick go to waste like that.

Cutting him would be rather petty.

That hackenburg pick was just dreadfully bad.
Even If he's your guy for the future it's gonna take him two-3 years to see the field. By that time BMarsh will be Older than Old and decker on his last legs.
If the jets are smart they should just try and get a 7th rounder for Geno right now. No way he's back with them next season
NFL has a bunch of bad qbs but teams such as philly, Rams and jets really aren't helping their own selves to get out of this cycle of bad QBing

it's interesting.. national media has the hawks on the downslope. local media, beat writers, and PCJS all saying this is the best team since 2013. Defense will be better than last year just because we won't be starting cary williams for half a season + the development of frank clark.

but it all comes down to the o-line.. no idea what to expect there

On the downslope? Where you hear that?

man y'all (NT and the real world) have hyped up BB so much that there is no way it lives up to expectations. even if all that **** CP said is true, the show better suck and **** me for how y'all talk about it. and i know it won't. not going to pour 6 seasons worth of time into it at this point. i'll just take y'all's word. my loss, blah blah


as far as Russ...he proved a lot of people wrong with his play down the stretch. and maybe not so much proved people wrong, but delivered what his critics had been asking him to do all along. excited to see what he does this year.

a few other articles/power rankings/videos indicate this as well.. haven't really seen anyone in the national media say we're gonna win our division.

Not sure I've seen another outlet show them as low as 10. I think it's about right though.

When you coming to San Diego?

I am trying to hold out for my mom and step dad to move so I have a place to crash for a bit until I get on my feet out there

I am hoping they decide to get out there by spring

no doubt about it, I can't wait to grab a surfboard and actually be able to do it 365

Eagles games at 10am will be great too

Man it is odd at first with the early starts but it really is the best. SNF and MNF are done by 8ish

this is the best. watching football (and sports in general) on the west coast is great. last game ends and still have time to chill out, grab dinner if needed, etc.
