I've followed the Hawks since 1977. Been through most of the ups and downs of this team.
I've tried many rituals to help the team win or at least not lose too badly. Sitting in my lucky spot on the couch. Wearing my old Hawks shirt. Even patting our white cat twice before games. Then there's a...
I started here when it was the previous iteration of this board. My user name used to be 49thawk or something like that. I used to contribute more but now mainly lurk.
What year did the board to covert to .NET?
Every time he rolls out Milroe or another trick play, it feels like he's auditioning for a HC role by demonstrating he's a boy genius.
He's not. In fact, he's calling plays like a rookie OC and this is what? His third year doing it?
He's good scripting the first 12 or so plays and when he...
I actually like Brendon and his numbers show many others do too. Everyone of these have their own approach. His thing is data and news. Others do play break downs. I find him less of a homer than Viens and Coutts. Cain is okay and Nemhauser was pretty good but feel he's become a bit arrogant...
I'm sticking with 8-9 now. The defense will be great. Our schedule is filled with weak teams. We improved the offence's coaching and Zabel has to be an update over Tomlinson. Horton looks awesome and JSN is going to be a stud.
But Darnold and Kupp are no replacement for Geno and DK. There is...
I voted 8 wins.
The defense will be great. Our schedule is filled with eak teams. We improved the offence's coaching and Zabel has to be an update over Tomlinson.
But Darnold and Kupp are no replacement for Geno and DK. The OL should be better but there is only so much the new coaching staff...
I was in favor of firing Pete and retaining John but his FA moves this offseason, Grubb hiring (which I believe he was responsible for) and weak drafts especially OL has soured my support for him. Ownership should give him to mid-season next season then evaluate where the team is at. If there...
Agreed. After Pete was fired, John had to scramble to reassemble the team for this year. By the time they hired McDonald, other teams were way ahead of them resulting in slim pickings and poor choices. He hired McDonald but didn't draft or sign the players that fit well with Mike's scheme...
Totally agree. Even great quarterbacks need some protection to operate.
Geno's numbers are solid as Brendan points out but even a mobile Russ in his prime would fail behind this epically bad line and for that I blame Schneider
