If we do make it, we've already conceded the HFA ties to Carolina and Green Bay.
We're not dead, but we're in pretty bad shape.
Seafan":k4ww6dzw said:Sure we could be 7-1 but that doesn't get you to the playoffs. There's a 47% chance the team won't make it. I'm curious as to where the Hawks were standing at 3-3 last year.
Some good things:
The division is in the Hawks' hands to win/lose.
The defense except for a handful of plays has played well.
The second half schedule is a lot better.
Injured players are returning soon giving the team a healthy roster to start the second half.
The bad:
Russell has not been his usual self. Maybe this is his new normal. If it is the team is not going to make the playoffs.

So we're in the hunt.

Lots of talent on this team. Some weird games so far. QB play needs to improve.
