Only a little. Because I forgot to add the Patriots and Colts to the list.

Don’t get me wrong, the team balled out last night, but teams are going to begin to force us to run, and I don’t think we can.
We know what you're doing and we have to play into it as well, otherwise it won't work.

I feel really good about this team. I have since the draft. If they start winning at home again consistently, I’ll feel Superbly good about them!

The Bills' run defense is pretty bad. And that is with an offense that scores a lot. It will be a problem for them in the postseason. Bad run defenses don't improve after more wear and tear.

I need to see the Hawks take care of the Rams omce or twice before Id put them any higher than 5 to 8.

I think they're contenders, but no one sustains pace like this forever. It's a league of parity. They're on a really hot streak of play in which they're completely controlling games - even the best teams ever hardly do that every single game.
Patriots did it for over 10 years with Brady and Belichick and they got 7 rings, why not us?

DVOA and DAVE metrics says they are but they still have to prove it each and every game regardless.

However, I will say if they make it to the Post-Season in relatively good health they have as much of shot as anyone to go as far as they want to go.

This isn’t a smoke and mirrors type of team, its a well coached team with possibly the best culture and roster its had since the LOB days. Seahawks more than less have left its weaknesses exposed and despite of that, still has had great success in all phases. That scary.

This team has shown the will to win on the road (now 10 in a row), that makes them even scarier as they don’t necessarily need HFA to go win it all.

But if they do get HFA, everyone knows despite the recent struggles at home, that Lumen + the 12s in a Play-Off Atmosphere can be a nightmare for visiting teams.

This team is legit. I really believe the DVOA stuff. And it’s different than all those 6-3 teams that sank in the second half. Point difference seems to be a sign although in ‘19 we were really good until our running backs got hurt. That team barely had a positive point differential.

For the first time in forever I think they can hang with any team in the league. The final few years under Pete were solidly in the fringe wild card tier with 8-10 teams who were top to bottom better. This defense gets after you every single snap (besides the weird Bucs game) and has arguably the best DL rotation in the NFL. They finally have complimentary offense with a top 3 WR, above average OL, and a rock solid Sam Darnold. It's hard to say at this moment who is the best but I would very much put them with the Bills, Rams, and Eagles. Colts are a question mark for me as I don't know if DJ is ready for the spotlight yet. But they are very much in the category of a team that would have kicked the shit out of Pete's teams his final few seasons.

Let see.. We've beaten 2 teams with winning records.. Pitt and Jags.. so yeah, I guess there's no one better.

One game at a time. The team is playing well and getting better. Lot of things to improve. My only hope is to hit the playoffs playing their best ball and to be healthy.

Good time to be a Hawk fan!

On the other hand, the two games that we lost the combined margin was just 7 points, so you could make a good argument that we should be undefeated.

But your point is well taken, and is one of the reasons why I'm trying to bridle my enthusiasm and waiting until after the Rams game before I really start wetting my pants over this team.

The early lines have the Rams by 4.5 - adjust 2-3 points for their homefield and it still favors the Rams.
