When the other team is in the Victory formation

Because it wasn't over yet; anything can happen.

Plenty of teams do the same thing. Doesn't make it right, but the Hawks are not the only team who does this crap.

If it's another team, they probably just say "that's just a team fighting til the end"
But it's more the fighting crap like we saw back in the Super Bowl. Zero excuse for it.

Not really.

Greg Schiano did it a couple times back in 2012 when he was coaching the Bucs and everyone still thinks he's a total dirtbag for it.

The only other time I remember a non-Hawks team doing it was the Rams doing it once last year, and like Schiano, they got a ton of crap for it in national media too.

The Hawks, I think, are hit particularly hard reputationally for it, as they've now done it four times in big games that a lot of people have seen, and have even started extra-curricular fighting AFTER doing in two of those.

People can try to spin it away, but that's a story Hawks fans are gonna have to tell each other, because there's absolutely zero chance of anyone else affiliated or unaffiliated listening to it. It's just an incredibly bad look.

Yep, it's lame to act like that at the end of the game. But dwelling on it won't help. They either learn from it and come out fired up and focused like they were against the Eagles.......or they will be watching the playoffs on TV.

Hawks 30-27
