Post Your Hawk the Redskins

Christian — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:52:07 -0000

so last week I did not forget about doing this. In fact, I did not do it on purpose. For anyone that knows Scruffy or myself, we are very superstitious. You sit where you were sitting when we scored and do no move. If you are wearing a Branch jersey and he gets hurt, that jersey is banned. Etc. I am trying here guys.

Redskins 28- Hawks 13 note this is the first loss I have predicted as long as I have been doing this.

My Hawk: Engram 110 yds. 1 TD

in better news Left 4 Dead is out.

So who all has this? And if you do...put your gamertag in so we can add you as an xbl friend.

So I am at the point in a bad season where I am looking back at the Ram's and Niner games for things I did and not doing when we lose. I am superstituoous..whatever. I am deciding that when I was watching these games it was sunny and nice enough for golf outside those two sundays. That is long gone now for me as we have had rain and fog and death cold. So in the abscence of golfing weather, I will be golfing. DVR will be running.

My Hawk is Seneca Wallace 210 yds, 2 tds, 1 rushing, 1 bad panther tattoo

Hawks win 24-10.

Time for a game where we get to see if we are turning it around or we are turning it in. No Kerney, No Beck, No Josh Scobey. I do think we can win this game much like we did last week. By frustrating people...lets have a game plan of pissing off Westbrook, Jackson, McNabb, etc. Lets have Andy Reid send them to the showers with their helmets.

My Hawk: Deon Grant 7tackles, 2 ints, 1 slapping of Brian Russell.

Hawks 24-21

And because I am superstitious

Post Your Hawk 49ers Take 2.

Christian — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:40:41 -0000

Sunday was a hard day for me. I will be perfectly honest that I did not watch last weeks game. I also did not allow myself to watch the Red Sox game. I literally had friends take me golfing so I would not watch both of the stresses in my life. I golfed well fyi.

Onto the 49ers. I mocked them in our first take, and I feel that we may need to change the scope of this hawk posting. Reverse psychology if you will. So from now on no more mockey of women falling on tables, BrianL's fear of Pennywise, and no more "wtf is a 49er" jokes. I give you this:

I give you Alex J. Murphy on a Unicorn. This needs to be on a NFL Helmet somewhere.

Onto the picks. Josh Wilson 1 int, 5 tackles, 1 awesome return to get us psyched up.

17-15 Hawks win.

And just to remind you all of last week.

Post Your Hawk The Bucs

None of us saw this coming. It opened so sweet. Forsett was doing awesome, everyone minus Branch and Engram were healthy. We had Mike Wahle. Burleson. Sims. Seems like such a long time ago. It was sooo serene.

Then it came crashing down.

So my Hawk is going to be a returning, pun intended, Justin Forsett. 160 yds on returns 1 TD. Hawks squeek one out. 24-21. And how about those Red Sox!!!!! Come on boys...lets do it again!

*Scruffy's add* - The Ray's SUCK. THEY NEED TO DIE

Post Your Hawk The Giants

Christian — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:34:47 -0000

What a difference two weeks makes. I was feeling like I did right before we took on the winless Saints last year. What if we were to lose to at the time the 2nd worst team in the NFL?

Phew. Anyone doubting this game should go back and watch the highlights from last week. Serious. The pulls, the push off the line, the blocking at the next level. This was not us beating a bad team by letting them lose. We destroyed them. We had the correct game plan, and we executed it well.

What do i think will happen this week? I think the same. This is not me being a homer, but when I watch the Giants they always let the other team take it to them and react. If you go look at the game stats for the Redskins (another WCO) vs. the Giants week one, you will see that it was rhythm that was the downfall of the skins, and the skins let the Giants win instead of the Giants beating them. I can see us completely dominating this game on every aspect.

The Giants beat the Rams soundly and escaped Cincinnati in OT. I sure hope Holmgren has figured out how to win on the east coast.

My Hawk: Carlson 7 rec 60 yds 1 TD

Hawks 31-Giants 17

and now for pure horror.

Marc Bulger benched, Concussion moved to starting QB

Yes it's true. Linehan is fighting for any means of saving his job. Heck saving? If the guy wants to work again in the NFL he needs to do something drastic. This is not like Lane Kiffin needing to win. Lane Kiffin is a good coach on and off the field. Linehan is a joke running an abysmal team with few bright spots.

Bulger completed only 52 of 89 attempts for 519 yards in this first three games, but pass protection has been the big problem. He's been sacked 11 times. Bulger is only 19 games into a six-year, $65.1 million contract signed in the summer of 2007.

This sounds like a good deal for a back up. Kenji Johjima is in the wrong line of work.

With his longtime offensive coordinator Al Saunders running the Rams offense, Green decided to sign on to be the Rams backup. Now, heading into Sunday's game against the Bills, Green will be the starter.

This isn't actually a bad move. If the rams focus on good pass blocking to give Green the time to throw it could help out. I think this could boost the numbers of Randy McMichael and whomever their #2 receiver is.

Thoughts? Panic?

Post Your Hawk Week 3 condensed

Well I just got running water back to my house. Never ever take water for granted. Peeing in your back yard. Showering at a hotel, going number dos at a friends, just no good. On to the hawk.

I haven't had a chance to go back and read all the posts about last weeks PYH, but I am certain that whomever chose JJ won. Score I am not certain.

My Hawk of the week is Koren. I love Koren. Koren is good. Koren is love. Embrace the Koren.

Koren: 2tds, 115yds, me wetting myself with glee. Hawks 35 Rams 3

Insult to Injury/Cut

So we all know why Holmgren didn't put Forsett back on punt and kick returns. Well it looks like thats exactly his role in Indianopolis. I for one am at a crossroads on this. I want the best for the guy, but I also want him on this team. Damn it.

Claimed off waivers from Seattle earlier in the week, the rookie running back is expected to handle kickoff and punt return duties Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts meet the Minnesota Vikings in the Metrodome.

"It's something I've been doing for a while, so it's not a big adjustment,'' Forsett said Friday. "I've just got to catch the ball and learn the different plays we have.

"It's a pretty simple scheme and one that's worked.''

Forsett, the Seahawks' seventh-round draft pick, has only moderate experience as a kick returner. He returned only 10 kickoffs during his four-year career at California and six for a 23.5-yard average for Seattle during the preseason.

The Colts apparently like Forsett's potential enough that they waived Courtney Roby on Thursday. The former North Central High School and Indiana University standout averaged 20.5 yards on five kickoff returns against Chicago.

Post Your Hawk Week 2

Christian — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:54:07 -0000

The forty niners. I typed in "What is a fourty niner" into google, and got told I was spelling it wrong. Hmm. I did not know that. What else did I not know about this team? I needed to goto their official website and find out.

Things I found out.

Their blog host might be better looking than any author on the seattle blog-o-sphere.
Hey remember Kentwan Balmer?! Remember when we were supposed to draft him?! Yuck.
J.T O'Sullivan is their QB over a Alex Smith (small hands). Alex Smith has a busted shoulder or something. Didn't Rocky give him that like a year ago?
How many times do you think starting FB, Zak Keasey, got called Zak Keasey off the Heezy?
Would you right now trade our WR corps for the 49ers? I have a tendency to say yes.

So onto our winners from last week.

Hawk: Ciarannh

Score: Aerozepplin

I am now scared to choose a hawk. It's not that I am superstitious, but I just fear putting that added pressure onto a player of being MY HAWK, could make them try to over exert themselves and get injured.

So with that my Hawk. Seneca Wallace. 6 rec 115 yds 2 TDs. Gosh I am optimistic.

Score Hawks 28 work out the kinks, 49ers 13. 28-13.

And now for something amazing.
