No excuse for going 0-2-1 vs. Rams, Cards, and Saints, which are what, 9-10-1 or somethng. Sorry, the team wasn't injured all year. They need to win one or two of these.
Hawks are a jat (Just another team, albeit on the higher end of them) in the NFL at this point. Can not run or pass block consistently enough offensively, and on defense while warriors, can't get off the field on 3rd down, and don't create enough turnovers to make up for that.
Also seeing that penalties do matter if you don't have the best defense/team in the NFL. When the Hawks were the big bad bully on the block, those holding/illegal use of hands were not called by the officials against hawks secondary. Now they are.
