If we beat the Rams !

[pmedic920]

Legitimately beat them, not some lucky squeak by BS.

I PREDICT A SUPERB OWL BERTH

 

[ivotuk]

So it is written, so will it be.

 

[pmedic920]

we are absolutely one of the top 3-4 teams playing right now.

A beating of the lambs will solidify this in the minds of our squad (if it isn’t already) , and the momentum/chemistry will propel them into the big game.

Bold/not so bold prediction

WHEN we beat the lambs...

 

[Natethegreat]

Love this team and where it's heading. I don't think they are super bowl bound however.

Your keyboard to god's monitor.

That option wouldn’t change if we legitimately beat the Rams?

 

[Cyrus12]

A lot of football to be played yet. Injuries will dictate where most teams end up...oh and the nfl agenda too. Enjoy the ride!

 

[Atradees]

These are two teams set to collide.
Let's get the W and move to the next guy injury free.

To me we will have to see how Sam performs in the playoffs. He has been great, I'm glad we signed him and I'm not saying he can't win in the playoffs but it's still an open question.

And this is the general narrative/consensus.

“Sam Darnold can’t win a playoff game”


I think we’re going to find out soon enough.

I truly believe, if we beat the Rams solidly this week, this team’s confidence and attitude is going to rocket skywards.

I may be only seeing things through action green colored glasses but I can’t get past it, even the lifelong pessimistic Hawk fan that I am says we are going to the big game if we beat the Rams in LA.


ETA
not only will it jack up the confidence level of the players, it will PROVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT, our HC knows what the phuc he’s doing.

WHEN we beat the lambs...

It took 80 mins and 4 replies...

 

[keasley45]

To me, it has less to do with the Rams and everything to do with stupid mistakes. If we don't make stupid mistakes, we are the best team in the league right now. If we don't make stupid mistakes we beat the Rams on Sunday, no question. This team is good enough and coached well enough that it shouldn't be picked to lose to anyone. If we don't beat ourselves, if we don't carelessly turn the ball over.... sky is the limit. To hell with the Rams.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well said. Flat out need to play turnover free football. They do that, this team is a legit SB contender.

 

[Ruminator]

If they pump in artificial crowd noise down there, we're doomed! Full bore sarcasm.

 

[Frank12]

This game will be within one score, I highly doubt either team is going to win comfortably, it might be a walkoff FG that wins it... I don't care if we beat them by 1 point as long as we beat them.... They are a 7-2 team and are legitimate contenders to make a playoff run...

 

[jammerhawk]

Frankly any W over the Rams would be a great thing and open the legitimate discussion early that the team could just be a potential SB candidate. Perhaps measuring the size of the win underestimates the reality that the win would be special given the recent history of Rams dominance over the Hawks.

Don't care if the W is a squeaker or a butt kicking, the W is all that is truly important.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. W....the only letter that matters..
