Playoffs: Who do we want next?

[glenwo2]

okay, fair enough.

Too many assumptions have been made and the Niners just still find a way so....yeah.

Just win next Saturday.

Don't care how.

 

[Rat]

I'd say there's like a 45% chance we blow it and a 20% chance we get absolutely run out of the stadium, but a win feels somewhat more likely than not.

 

[glenwo2]

I'd say there's a 5% chance we blow it and a 0% chance we get absolutely run out of *OUR* stadium.

Stop this nonsense.

 

[Rat]

I said we'd probably win. That's high praise.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Have you been watching this team the last month or? Did you watch the last game?
Hawks absolutely beat the living sh** out of them. Scoreboard didn't come close to showing it.

45 percent chance we lose? Damn man.

 

[Rat]

45% is less than half. I'm not insulting anyone.

This is a playoff game against a very coached team, while we have a coach in his first playoff game and a QB still trying to prove himself on this stage. Not to mention we have only one great option in the passing game and our franchise LT is hobbled.

Sorry if some of you are offended by the suggestion that we might win this by fewer than double digits.

 

[glenwo2]

There is no "probably" here.

Hawks will win and whether that's by a close score or not doesn't make a difference.

What I'm offended by is the suggestion that this is just about a 50/50 game when it really isn't.

 

[Rat]

You also said they had no chance against the Eagles. Maybe they're better than you give them credit for.

Shoot, I expect it to be under doubt digits. Hawks by 7

Offended? Come on Glen. Rat is just voicing his opinion, and it's a valid one.

I'm saying 26-23 Hawks for now. We have more pressure and less experience, but I think health and talent ultimately come through. Division opponents are never easy matchups.

 

[Runscott]

We're going to be playing the Niners next week.

McVay has now coached in 14 playoff games as the Rams head coach. In those 14 games, he has faced 14 different opponents. He hasn't faced the Bears yet, but has faced the Seahawks, so if the Eagles win today, that streak comes to an end. It's too freaky at this point to bet against.

That's pretty amazing. So now he has to lose to the Bears to keep that streak safe.

I would love to see Caleb, but not against an all NFC West Championship Game. Hating the Rams and 49'ers is great (and natural), but you have to be proud of us beating the hell out of each other, and still having three teams rise to the top.

 

[NoGain]

We're the better, more complete, and healthier team now. If we play anywhere close to our capabilities, we should win the game with some room to spare. And even if we don't, we can still win the game. All we need to do is keep our mistakes to a minimum and let our advantages prevail. I trust that MM will have a good game plan for a team and a roster he's quite familiar with.

Yes, and McDonald and Kubiak have gotten better every week. If you think back on how we couldn't close out earlier games - Tampa Bay especially comes to mind - and how solid we've been recently in the 4th quarter, and the fact that the 49'ers are beat up and don't have Kittle, and Shanahan is going against our coaches rather than the feeble-minded Eagles, I think we should win handily.

Okay.

Then I'm going to voice my opinion then (and I say it's a valid one because Trust Me, Bro) :


This game won't be under double-digits.

It won't be anywhere close to where the Hawks could lose it.


This team is too good, has come too far and accomplished too much.


Hawks 35 Niners 13 is my prediction.


Next Saturday is the day when "WINNING Playoff football" in Seattle with the 12s returns with a vengeance.


GO HAWKS!!

Why do you post absolute sh!t 90% of the time? Makes no sense if you actually watch football. It’s like you’re pissed off the Hawks are killing it
