From what we have seen in the last couple of months I don't see the Hawks passing offense "flipping a switch" and pulling the Hawks ahead of the 2nd best team in the NFL. That is what is concerning fans. The passing game, even though limited has been poor for a couple of months. What is concerning is that Wilson has been inaccurate on passes. It's one thing to question play calling, receivers speed, O line performance but when the QB is missing short throws that a NFL QB HAS to reliably hit it really makes you question what is going on and lose confidence in this portion of the offense. I say this knowing receivers have dropped balls. I watched the games. Wilson has been off the mark just from a mechanical standpoint of delivering the ball to the spot consistently.
Not being a Debbie downer, the Hawks can take the niners best shot and still win the game with another 150 yard passing performance as long as they don't get behind. It's hard to grind out a win on the ground when your behind. Get a punt blocked ( yea, that would probably how this would happen) and the Hawks are down by 7. Niners grind out yardage on the ground, CK gets a couple of runs, niners kick a couple of field goals and wallah, down by 2 TD's. The niners are going to stack the box and stuff the running game. The Hawks run D will have it's hands full and they are not the strength of the D. Having a competent passing game that has shown up lately would make me feel a lot better about Sundays game.
