Anyone else feel like we'll blow out the Cards this week

[hawksfansinceday1]

No, their defense is too good. They held the Lions to 6 points.
Only chance for a blowout is getting like 3-4 TOs and giving up none.

 

[LargentFan]

Yep, and when we do, the above three posters will pretend they knew it all along or make excuses/downplay the win.

Uh...do I know you? Because you certainly know exactly nothing about me...

If we blow them out, I will be very pleasantly surprised and hopeful. I still think we have a shot to win this division. I don't think it will happen, but I think it can happen. We lose this game and it won't happen though. Four games back with five to go is bad news bears. Two games back with five to go and half of the tie breaker? I like the sound of that.

Haven't read a single response but feel that the Hawks are going to win convincingly at home against the Cards. I don't think the Hawks will follow this win up with any more in a row and make the playoffs, but this weekend feels like a win.

How many INTs on Carson Palmer last year and we lost?

Hoping for a win, think maybe we can do it especially at home with backs against the wall. Would be thrilled with a blowout - don't see it.

Only way I see it is defensive points on the board by the Hawks. Think we had some in the Dallas game and well....

 

[HomerJHawk]

Yes. 42-17.

I thought we'd blow out the Raiders.

I thought we'd blow out the Raiders.

From a talent strand point, we should have.

Funny, but true. Reminds me of the crowd that "is happy to be proven wrong".....Either you think it will be a blow out or you don't .

I say blow out.

 

[RiverDog]

No, I don't feel we'll blow them out. It's possible, but not probable.

I expect a low scoring game that goes down to the wire. Tough call and in these situations, I tend to go with the home team, plus this game is a lot more important to us than it is Arizona. I expect us to pull out all the stops. Expect a few trick plays, perhaps a fake punt or unexpected onsides kick that you don't normally see. We have to treat this one like a playoff game. The 12th man must show up for this one.

I don't expect a blow out at all. We are 7 point underdogs at home per Vegas :shock: . Only chance of a blow out is to play better on special teams flipping the field, and hope for lots of turnovers from the Cards.

You sure about that spread? Should be the other way around.

I think you may have read that wrong. Last time I checked the spread was at 6.5 in the Hawks favor.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Yes! I think the hawks will get blown out!

My bad....read it wrong, we are favored by 6.5...

You don't know what you're talking about. If we blow them out, Blitzer will just complain that we should have saved some of those points for the road game against SF the next week. He's not about pretending.

 

[Largent80]

I just want the defense to begin resembling last years. A blowout?....I don't care, we have a huge game on Thanksgiving and I want to get thru this game with a win and no injuries.

I don't see a correlation between being realistic that this won't be a blow out and somehow being a bad fan.

The Cardinals are 9-1, have a great D and beat a much more talented Hawks team here last year. What gives you any indication that THIS beat up and less talented Hawks team is going to win by a blow out?

We certainly SHOULD win, as our season depends on it, but a blow out? I can't go that far with what I've seen so far this year.

 

[MidwestHawker]

I think a blowout is maybe in play, but that a relatively comfortable non-blowout win is more likely.

 

[Lords of Scythia]

I had sort of a blowout-involved feeling, but it wasn't quite an inclination I thought it would actually happen. It was more along the lines of "Wouldn't it be cool if we just reamed the Cards like a red-headed **** ****. The Hawks would be back to where they belong in bad-assedness and it might be a turning point for both teams that ultimatedly results in the Hawks winning our division again, and blasting into a playoff (possibly Super Bowl) run."

 

[Lords of Scythia]

We couldn't "blow out" the Raiders or Giants at home just a few weeks ago. How can anyone based on those results think we can now do that to a much better team?

We can possibly win, but it's going to be another close rough-house game with a very small point differential.

Because they were the Raiders. This the division-leading team with the best record in the NFL. GO HAWKS!
