“Lynch ready, Baldwin ready, plus a healthy Sydney Rice for a change? Should be all the offense we need this Sunday.” Ummm…yes!!! Throw in Okung and I believe we have all the pieces to have a top 10 offense this season. I know we’re going to get some key guys banged up this year, but that’s the way it goes. However, I think our depth is so good that don’t have any “irreplaceable” player except for ET.

On one hand, I don’t think the Flynn injury can be too serious or why would there only be 2 QBs on the active roster? On the other hand, it does make you worry that he’s not practicing and missing time with it and he’s the only back-up to Wilson.

All I know is that our current third-string QB (we don’t have one) is better than our starting QB last year! lmao! I miss Hutch! DeCastro! Oher better than Aaron Curry! I love Matt! Long live Kenny Easley! etc. Hey-it’s a joke! I’m in a good mood. It’s Friday! Anyone else excited for Sunday? lol

I think the Cardinals are a very good football team, minus it’s OL. That’s the difference in this game. They have a horrible unit that will, IMO, cost them the game, whereas we are pretty solid up and down. My biggest fear is that they will return a punt (or two) for TDs and we lose. I like our chances, but have seen enough games to know it’s not a “gimme” game either. “We” need to show up and I think we will.

Thanks Duke i’ll try that brew this weekend- a few articles back.
I couldn’t believe we got dissed so easily by Pricko. He somehow just willed the Card’s a new o-line? If he picked the Cards at home i could say he’s entitled to his opinion, but that’s just outright laaazy journalism. And that link above is hilarious OCHawkFan.

If RW gets as many opportunities as TJ in the first game (in seattle), then it will be a big blow out. It could be 34-10 if Fitz is contained. Rewatching these games from last year, the one thing that is pretty obvious. These guys really dont like each other very much. It will be an emotional game for our young guys..hopefully they have more discipline this year.

Two teams that win with defense. Ours has a solid offensive line and power running game. Theirs has big play Special Teams.

I expect that AZ’s defense + special teams may score more than their offense does. Their offense will see a lot of punts, sacks, and turnovers.

I expect that our defense will score too, while our offense will control the ball for the win.

So, Don’t you hate predictions of NFL Games? I mean, they’re so meaningless, right?
Okay. Here’s mine.

Prediction:

AZ
+7 D will score a TD.
+3 ST runbacks will result in at least one FG.
+6 Offense will stall often before getting to our end zone.

SEA
+7 D will score a TD.
+3 D will cause turnovers resulting in at least one FG.
+17 Offense will control the ball and make enough plays to win.

SEA 27
AZ 16

OCHawk, thanks for the link. Hilarious!

“When Russell Wilson walks in the room, you feel his presence. He has an incredible vibe about him that’s outstanding for an offensive football team and a team. ‘You can feel his presence???’ Thank God Russell Wilson decided to become a quarterback instead of an evil cult leader — we could have had the next Manson on our hands.”

Bill Simmons is crazy, but I love the guy. RW is the best QB in the league and Hawks make the Super Bowl this year. Love it!

Georgia,
lol “If anyone ever passes through Republic Wa”
No one ever “passes through” Republic, it not on the way to anywhere unless you are traveling from Kettle Falls to Tonasket. But it is beautiful there.

We toss our free peanut shells on the floor here in Camarillo, Ca., at a bar/BBQ place called Bandits… Used to be my go to for Hawk games, but the gangbangers found out they show the Raiders and the Cowboy games, so now I go to my new secret place…
