Could you imagine the bitching generated by that fan base if the score would have been closer? Have to say I was shocked at how disconnected the Bronco's Country members were before the game started. In their minds there was no way in hell the Hawks were going to keep it close, they actually felt sorry for the Hawks. I said it before the SB and am saying it again, there fans are delusional. Might be the rocky mountain air?
I heard the chants in the background during the game but couldn't make it out. Listened to 710 AM this morning at work and found out what was being chanted and thought WTF were the fans thinking. Then Brock said it had to do with Sherman's comments about breaking the Manning gibberish pre snap code.
What ever. Donk fans can rejoice over their 1 - 3's beating the Hawks 2-4's. I like to think I am a even keeled Hawk fan that has followed them through the dark ages and was rewarded last year. I don't have the same feeling about this years hawk team but I still see a Donkey BEATDOWN coming in week 3. I will enjoy visiting that island of pure adulterated homerism known as Broncos Country. They remind me of the Webzone, just less hard core obnoxious.
Listened to Softy on KJR on the way home tonight. He was dumbfounded by the Donks fans and beet writers view of the Hawks fans. Softy nailed it. Anyone who claims Hawk fans came out of nowhere last year are displaying their own NFL ignorance. That POS Ken Bearing from northern CA ran the team in to the ground and alienated the fan base for a 8+ year window, out side of that Hawk fans have been standing loud and proud. We just didn't have the internet to proclaim it in the late 70's and all of the 80's. The lame stream media never gave the Hawks the attention they deserved when they were good so they were not pushed down the average joe's NFL fans throat like the 49's, Jets / Giants / Cowturds / Steelers were and still are.
Niner fans still don't seem to understand that to this day. Seattle was a bastard child because they didn't have the TV market, that NFL apathy had nothing to do with the performance on the field. Pure and simple, it was about money. Still is, but social media is changing that and Sherman and CO understand better than most ignorant fan bases.
