heehawks Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have one of those feelings itching at me about the Saints/Hawks game. I think the Saints win this one, fairly handily. Here is why... Hawks defense coming off an an absolutely exhausting battle with Ariz. I think they may be flat on Sunday. Bennett, a huge disruptor, will be out. Chancellor is out, again. Although they haven't given up many points, they have been giving up more big plays recently (see Atlanta game). As for the offense, Wilson is hurting and his scrambling is what has made him special. He really can't escape like he has been known to do. Add to that, our left takle is out. The o-line has been having real trouble protecting Wilson and have been pretty bad in run blocking, as shown by our 3.3 average. Although the Saints def hasn't been great, I just don't see the Hawks scoring enough to win. Brees and Co. will do well and likely win the game for them. Stars are aligned for a Hawk loss on the road imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I don't know who's going to win, but I swear, EVERY time I face Brees in FF he goes fn wild. And I'm facing him this wk. Let's go Seattle def! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yeah. Russell Wilson. Blarg. I might have to bench him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I love the way you think, but no. At best it will be a close game, but I just don't see it happening. Saints aren't ready just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothus Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm pulling for the Hawks this week as I face Brees and Cooks in a few leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well now, its a game! Knew Hawks would give up points today. It will be all about whether or not the offense can score a few more tds. Hawks defense will be getting tired here real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 It wasn't handily like I thought, but a Hawks loss nonetheless. I will never understand the fade pass. It is such a low percentage play and a horrible call imho. Good game by the Saints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylcook13 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 How tired will the Defense get? Lol I own their D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I will never understand the fade pass. It is such a low percentage play and a horrible call imho. Yet it's probably a TD if Wilson didn't fling it as far. Seattle had a backup center in at the end, this season may get ugly in a hurry.

rajncajn Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Really good game all around by both teams. Thought that Seattle would run away with it early, but the Saints really stick with it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heehawks Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Great call Thanks, I really had one of those gut feelings all week. Just seems like the stars were aligned just right with all the injuries and last weeks defensive struggle. Hawks did have a chance tho, which shows a lot about them, but they aren't going anywhere without getting healthy and real soon at that.

gilthorp Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nobody is going to want to play SEA in the playoffs. I assume they make it rather easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Seattle isn't advancing far if Wilson doesn't return to at least a shadow of his former self. His ability to move around isn't looking any better week to week, to the contrary. Playoffs may come but a porous O-line and a QB who can't escape a pass rush isn't a recipe for optimism.
