I feel good about it. But in case I'm wrong I have some $$$ on the +285.....happy to lose that.
That's how I feel about it...at least IF they lose, i'm a little bit richer and less disappointed

Yup. This year has already blown almost every reasonable expectation of mine out of the water. I'd even go as far as to say that if you really thought at the beginning that we'd be where we are as a team now, I think you were being a little naive or delusional for thinking so. It's pretty special in that way for me. I'm enjoying it immensely.

I did have them winning the division at 11-6, but this season has far exceeded my expectations as a whole. I know we have 3 games left to win it all but the trajectory of this team in Mike's second season is pretty damn extraordinary.

This is a stepping stone on our path to the Superbowl, it's against a team that knows us as well as we know them, we don't like each other all that much being a division rival. But we have to stay in our lane and make it all about business till we see 0:00 in the 4th. Getting there may be a great satisfaction for San Francisco this year with their struggles, but this isn't our Superbowl. They may be looking at it as such if they can knock us out given how the Coaches felt embarrassed last time we played. They are dangerous in many ways.

Take care of Business !!!

A truly special season. @keasley45 nailed it for me. I too tend to think too far ahead while the moments slip away.

Not this time. I’ve built a lifetime of memories this year. Going to Nashville with my son and watching us beat the Titans. Him and I doing circles around the coffee table for damn near the entire Rams game (2nd time we faced them).

My wife and daughter with their looks of shock, excitement, and bewilderment wondering why the hell we’re both yelling and clapping downstairs during games. My wife asking ‘Who is McVay and why do you keep screaming FU McVay in front of our 13 year old?’…

The manner in how this happened. 2nd year staff…new QB. Lost our two main offensive threats. New OC. Who would’ve thought we’d be where we are?

The intangible….why we can rest easy…enjoy the moment…how’s it possible?

MM. Our coach is going to go down as one of the all time greats. JS - best in the business.

We’re in good hands folks.

Obviously, I just want to win. But ideally I'd like us to set the tone that we are a very formidable team, that there's a reason why we're the #1 seed, and that we're just getting started in showing that fact in the playoffs this year. There's a certain championship attitude that I'm hoping to see.
Me too. I want to beat the Rams handily to prove the first time was no fluke. We are chnging the division guard so I want us to prove we're the real deal.

It's a great time to be a Hawks fan. I go through the what if cycle of thoughts and objectively work through what I think might happen in the upcoming games.

But then I also take time to just stop and soak in the fact that we are again the number one seed. We are again the top team in the NFC and arguably the NFL.

That's a rare thing. It's only happened for us 4 times in 50 years (which actually isnt too shabby).

Strategy talk aside. Matchup analysis aside. What if's aside.

It's a great time to be a fan of this team.

Damn. You put into words what actually I think and feel every day without even realizing I'm thinking and feeling it.

I have a Seattle lanyard for my keys, and I always have the lanyard hanging out of my pocket. But these days? I think I subconsciously leave it hanging it out even more now to let it away just a little bit more to let it sway.

Will make you a nameplate, and I believe they will sew it on if you send them the jersey. (Least they use to)
