The thing that is most "irritable" to me is that the way the Hawks are playing, it LOOKS like they should be blowing out teams - moving the ball at will up and down the field - just not getting a high percentage of TD's in the red-zone, coupled with shooting ourselves in the foot many times a game, and despite that, still 5 and 1. Go Hawks!
The fact that they're doing what they're doing, but just aren't able to finish, isn't nessecarily a
bad thing. We're 95% of the way there. They're still striving to get better. One day soon, everything will just go "click" and we'll start finishing. THEN we'll start putting up MONSTER games.
I'm kind of glad we haven't peaked yet. For all that Denver sure looks like this unstopable juggernaught right now, I can
totally see them coming back down to earth somewhat before the playoffs start and getting punched in the mouth in the Divisional round by a team that gets hot and made a late playoff charge (which would be classic Peyton Manning actually).
If we can keep mucking out some sloppy "less than perfect" wins to keep HFA then have everything click around week 11-12-ish and start charging, that'll be the best of both worlds. Hit the playoffs hot
with HFA? Get outta here... That's almost not fair.
