Skin of the teeth

[Sgt. Largent]

Does anybody feel that they can put together another 11-5 with just a 7 point cushion ?

The average win margin in NFL games is what, 3-4 pts?

So yes, that's how you win in the NFL, by less than 7 pts usually. It's a parity league, and exactly the reason it's the #1 sport in our country by a wide margin.

Also why Pete coaches the way he does. He understands that not turning the ball over, wearing down your opponent with a punishing run game and trusting your elite QB to win games late is a good recipe to make the playoffs every year and have a shot at SB's.

This ^ so many of the games in the NFL come down to the end. One score victories is nothing new. Fortunately, the Hawks finish with the big W more than most teams.
