Tier 2 Team

[SoulfishHawk]

Glad someone else pointed that out. I'm trying to stay above ice these days

3 Points.......ALL SECOND HALF for the Clams. I'll leave it at that. Proud of myself.....so much more I wanna' say.

But, to quote the great Billy Ray Valentine: I'm a peaceful man..........

Baby steps

The Bucs aren’t nearly as good as when we played them. At this point in the season it’s comical to compare

Well, That's my point.. If the Rams played that Buc's team we played, Are the Rams winning lastnight?... so, judging wins/losses vs. Opponents is important, at least in my opinion...

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Bucs seem to be on the decline the past few weeks. We seemed to get them at their peak and I think we beat them now.

 

[Frank12]

That bucs game was early for us. We are better now and I think the Bucs are sliding

That's kinda my point here, The Rams beat a weaker Buc's team, and we lost to a stronger Buc's team... My whole point with this comment was, it is important to judge a win/loss vs the opponent played that week... it shows where your team sits among the elite teams...

I watched the Rams destroy the Bucs (who beat us in our house) and I realized if anyone thinks we are on their level they aren't paying attention.

The Rams don't play down to their opponents and don't take their foot off their neck when they have them down. We hired MM to solve this McVay issue. Well time to scheme us some wins regardless of injuries. Guess well see how the season plays out, but it's not trending in the right direction. We better wake up or we will be one and done come playoff time. 5 of 7 on 4th down against a 1-9 team had better concern you, I know it concerns me.

The Count

The whole "That team beat the team we lost to so they can beat us” take is such a false narrative. Every team plays teams differently. There are so many factors that go into each game even against the same team. Injuries, where in the season the game is played, ect. The way we played the Rams (even though we lost) gave me confidence we could very well beat them when they come to our house. As many have said there is not a team in the league that the Hawks don’t have the potential to win. Also everyone talks about how much we “take our foot off the gas” when ahead. Again this is shows little insight on how the game is played. We have had several blow out games this season. So they are willing to do it. BUT there is also a team playing against that are trying to stop it. A recent Hawk interview (I forget who) said "every team has pro bowl players". Not every game will be a blowout. Few games probably will be. A win is a win. Let just keep winning any way possible.

The Buccs beat the Seahawks 3 points, the Rams beat the Seahawks by 2 points, the Rams beat the Buccs convincingly, therefore the Seahawks a tier 2 team, OK whatever? Strongly disagree!!!

Seattle was not dominated by either team and Mayfield was knocked out of the game against Rams with a shoulder injury.

Seems to me the OP just wants to see the negative, logically though his theory doesn't follow the results as above.

 

[Grahamhawker]

Bucs have been relatively unlucky with injuries. Just look at the offense skill positions. Mike Evans and Bucky Irving both out. Chris Godwin fresh off IR, clearly not 100 percent. By halftime Baker Mayfield was dragging around a limp left shoulder.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It truly is about WHEN you play a team, often.

 

[Count Hawkula]

Foot on the gas?

The Rams scored 3 points in the second half

That's a recipe for .net crucification in these parts

I'll take my chances.

 

[strohmin]

How many other teams are playing as close to the level of Rams?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Seahawks outplayed them. 4 turnovers, the best punt we've ever seen and STILL had a shot at the end. Held them to around 250 yards total offense. Short field, several times.
As far the Clams go, scoring 3 total points in the 2nd half last night is not "putting your foot on the gas"
It's smart football. Big lead, pound the rock and play defense. As someone pointed out, pitchforks when the Hawks do that. And yes, I'm aware that the Hawks have a tendency to "let a team back in" but I just am of the opinion that many share. These scores are not indicative or how the game was.

Just sayin. Not even trying to start something or argue, but the double standard is kind of there.

 

[Count Hawkula]

Just revisiting my post. Yes, I was clearly upset about our performance. I stand here today to declare we are now a Tier 1 team.

Go Seahawks!

These Necro threads are confusing.

Yep, didn't the Panthers beat the Rams a few weeks back? and didn't the Panthers get beaten by the Seahawks?
The Seahawks = 14 - 3 = @1 Seed and the Rams 12 - 5 and the #6 Seed? lol
ALL but 1 in the NFC WEST are really good/tough teams, the winner will have to play their best mistake free games from here on out.
