Does anyone think the Hawks will learn a lesson from the Cardinals game
or even the Bucs game
in both games they start out slow, but got to the point to where it was hard to stop them
the Cards game was theirs to win. but a mistake cost them the win
can they learn from these games, and figure out how to start out strong and finish strong, and beat the Bengals at Seattle?
i want to know what people in General think of the Hawks for the season
and if they will be one of the teams to look out for
Seattle has a terrible habit of overestimating teams, and that cost them today. When they play a good team, they bring it, and they usually win. When they play a not-so-great team, they go into it thinking that they have it in the bag, and they don't execute as well. They need these occasional losses to remind them they aren't as good as they think they are. That said, I originally picked them to lose the Super Bowl this year, and I stand by that, for now. They have some work to do though.
That and the fact that historically, only SA has any great games. Hass has had some of his worst weeks in the desert. Good sign was Branch getting 7 for 122? I think. They got behind early and made a nice comeback and actually should have won the game. I think its early and with the way STL and SF's game look so far, that division is wide open.
you've got to like Alexander to have a huge game this week after the Bengals D gave up 215 yards to Jamal Lewis who only had 35 yards against Pit last week
i Honestly think that the Hawks team this year is better then the 05 team, but really as a Seattle fan, as long as they make it to the play offs and beat 1. The Steelers 2. The Bears 3. The Eagles
ill be happy
the Eagles thing at this point doesnt look to hard
but who knows
ill be perfectly happy with those 3 wins and make it to the playoffs, other then that i dont care what games we lose, unless its to many,
The play-offs are a must in my opinion. The team has the ability to get there, so anything under that is a big failure. Once again the team is looking good, although the defeat to the Cardinals was very disappointing after really coming back in to the game, and looking the better of the two teams by the end of the game.
No offence to The Bengals because they are a good side, but Seattle has to win games like this to be serious contenders this year.
Personally I do not think you can look past The Patriots, Colts and my tip this year Green Bay for the whole thing, but if we show good regular season form, we could get near to the NFC final. As I said, I fancy the Packers to have a good season, but other than that again in my opinion only the Bears are a big threat to us in the NFC. I would seriously fancy us against the other teams (although are The Cowboys a threat or have they just had favourable games so far ? )
It is however very early days this year, and already I think we should be 2-0, but lets make sure we make it 2-1 this weekend, and we can progress from there.

Sounds like the exact same way that the Bulls play... it's unreal.
