but seriously give out the game ball.

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Yay we beat up a crappy team!

That makes us less crappier!

Blowouts matter.

It’s not redeeming, but there’s no tarnishing such a dominant win.

I LOVE IT

We are now in SECOND PLACE in the division and we are just two games back with two games against the cards still to come!

The cards still have the giants, eagles, pats and vikings ahead. We still have the skins, boys, and pats. We both have 5/9 at home. Next week against philly is a HUGE game (as is every game if we are gonna pull off a miracle playoff run) and if we beat the cards twice we could end up going to the playoffs even with an 8-8 record.

This is how our defense is supposed to operate. I think it is a stupid way to play but we are supposed to be giving up dinks and dunks and taking way the deep ball while winning the turnover battle. I think we need to stop trying to play that way but this is how its supposed to work out, and why, I am starting to think, we have looked SO horrible without a clear cut culprit of late.

I had to go out and grab and Arrogant Bastard.

I think I’m turning into a drunk.

Drinking one Arrogant Bastard does not a drunk make.

Beer is good for you in moderation. My problem is the in moderation part.

Soooo bitter.

Love it. When I was…15-20 I would drink all kinds of shit. And I’m not talking Pabst. Wild Irish Rose. High Gravity. The ol’ Stoner Ice Tall Boy 15 minute challenge, it’s so nice to be older and have some kind of taste.

Rasputin is damn nice, but it’s hard/easy to get drunk on that shit. Had someone tell me to down it once. That was a dizzy walk to the bar.

It usually takes me an hour to get through an Old Rasputin.

I kept it very Olympia when I was a youngin. Big Bear and Stubbies all the way.

I was in Olympia briefly.

Went to Evergreen. Two defining moments: Guy asking me if football was “paramilitary” and getting bitched out for implying a paraplegic wouldn’t want a backrub. Still, the school was okay.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 5:28 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I liked TESC a lot, but I grew up in Oly and just couldn't take it anymore.

Kinda’ wish I had stuck it out for the last two years, but man that place got to be suffocating.

My favorite TESC moment was getting reamed for suggesting that middle/high school students should be given education about/access to birth control because it makes fish hermaphrodites.

Oof.

Trying to run a paper, sorta, needing consensus was brutal.

I worked at housing for a few years and our meeting were hilarious.

We were scrubbing toilets and cleaning carpets but we still used Robert’s Rules of Order and had to reach consensus on pretty much everything before the meeting could be adjourned. And since we got paid for them, they went on for a looooong time.

Not the drinkenest place I’ve ever been, but they knew their green.

I’m not a dictator, but consensus was BS. Sometimes good decisions are unpopular.

did you catch his postgame comments? Not a big VD fan…

by phil26687 on Oct 26, 2008 5:27 PM PDT   0 recs

Yeah, ripping him a new one.

I really like Singletary. Despite the big blowout, I think the Niners pick it up the rest of the season. That’s a good defense that’s be thwarted by a “mastermind”.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 5:29 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

7-2 from here out

NOT IMPOSSIBLE, but not easy, either.

Philly
@ Miami
Arizona
Washington
@ Dallas
NE
@ StL
NYJ
@ Arizona

A lot depends on how they play against Philly next week. If this ship is slowly turning around then even a close loss to the #2 team in DVOA suggests we could clear the rest of the table at home and pick off wins @Miami and @Arizona.

For the Hawks to have any chance at the playoffs,

it seems imperative to me that they sweep the Cards. That would make up the two games and give us the tie-break. From there it would be a matter of playing Arizona to a standstill for the remaining 7 games (assuming neither SF nor STL goes on a huge run). It will be interesting to see football outsiders tomorrow, but after what happened in the NFC West today, I could see the Hawks’ playoff odds jumping all the way to 5-10%. Pretty exciting.

Watching Tapp for two weeks.

That’s huge. I think Jackson is developing too. Wilson is slowly becoming a competent sometimes spectacular corner. I don’t think this team makes into the postseason, but the young talent is there for a team that can compete for years.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 5:37 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think the floor is 5-11 or 6-10

and we get a solid midround draft pick to add to 2009.

by Will Kier on Oct 26, 2008 5:42 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is going to be a fascinating offseason.

Knowing Ruskell, there’s gonna be changes-a-many… most of which even the smartest amongst us will fail to predict.

Even if we don’t make the post-season… there are a lot of chances for some upsets to prove that this team has what it takes if they’re healthy.

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 5:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's good team.

People have been panicking, but you can go back through the Ruskell regime and see good process, good process—he’s building for the future. I think replacing Womack and Russell is going to help this team turn into something special and perhaps for some time.

Football is funny.

After a big win, the Hawks are a world beater, after a loss, the Hawks are shit.

Haha.

It’s refreshing not to deal with any “bitch-fanposts,” isn’t it?

Is it ever.

Or people who think Seattle will lose despite being up 20 in the 4th.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 5:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Way back when,

I believe Scruffy promised a puppies and rainbows fanpost after the next win. Where the hell is it? (No, I’m not going to take this on myself. In the spirit of this blog’s post-loss fanposts, I’m just going to bitch until something changes.) Perhaps we could get some lists of things people enjoy as well.

by FlaskInSafeco on Oct 26, 2008 6:36 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Whatever happens for the rest of the season.

Every win will be worth it. I’m fuckin’ top of the pops right now.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 6:06 PM PDT   0 recs

This was a great win because I wasn't expecting it in any way,

Not only did I get it, I got to see a blowout largely carried out by guys that are going to be around for a while. Most excellent.

Back like we forgot something...

2nd place in the West

FOR THE RECORD -this team will find its identity, and with a little health, confidence and an easier schedule than the Cards… we are winning this god-forsaken division.

Amazing how Singletary feeding his team to the media...

warrants praise. If I were a 49er, I’d feel betrayed. Don’t see how Davis was the difference.

by John Morgan on Oct 26, 2008 7:06 PM PDT   0 recs

Davis is absolutely not the difference.

However, Singletary I think is doing the right thing. Just coming in he is drawing the line and the players have to step over it. Attitude is one of the biggest things that he has the ability to change.

by cashless on Oct 26, 2008 10:08 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like what Singeltary did during the game

Even if what Russell said deserves a slap, Davis is better off walking away and being the bigger man. However I don’t like that he chewed out Davis to the media. He should have told the reporters that what happened was he between him and Vernon and leave it at that.

Everyone responds to things differently. Maybe thats the kick in the ass the niners needed or maybe it creates division in the locker room. In the end…winning usually solves everything.

Amazing how the only thing the mainstream media talked about

was the Singletary comments, not the Seahawks resurgence and awesome play.

Wallace still shaky

and fortunate to be playing a horrible 9ers team, but that sure was a pleasure to watch. L-Weave! Pick 6!

Hate hate HATE the neon green kicks.

Good job, Seneca!

No turnovers. Key completions. In short, he didn’t f**k it up and did enough to win. I was hoping he would wake up this week, not that he’d listen to my calls…

Weaver, Stud.

Josh Wilson. Exciting.

JTO was outplayed by Tyler Thigpen, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Shaun Hill. JTO = Just Turn Overs.

by Misfit74 on Oct 26, 2008 8:17 PM PDT   0 recs

Weaver the man today, WOO....

I just have to say what an unbelievable performance for the up and coming Fullback. However, if this is going to turn around Wallace is going to have to settle and start hitting his receivers and for the ones that he does hit, those guys have to catch the ball.

I mean for God’s sake, I feel like we are watching the 2004 receiving corps out there. These guys are not getting the picture.

I mean, yeah you know that it all takes being able to run a good route and having the QB actually throw the ball to you correctly. But damn man, how many times is Kent going to let the damn ball hit him in the chest and drop it.

Lets pray that Matt heals this week and these guys find some stickum. GO HAWKS!

DAVIS and the 49ER's could be over soon...

What does anyone have to say about that BS between Singletary and Davis near the end of the game?

Scott Buchanan

by USMARINEHAWKSFAN on Oct 26, 2008 10:02 PM PDT   0 recs

That was a stupid move by Davis but I thought the penalty was unnecessary.

I can see Singletary being pissed, but I doubt he pulls Davis if the game is close.

by acblue on Oct 26, 2008 10:11 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Davis was acting like a D bag...

I like how B. Russ was talking shit when he wasn’t even in on the play just in order to draw the penalty.

If you can beat them physically, make them commit penalty’s….lol, nicely done B. Russ

If Matt, Deion, and Lofa are back next week,

I irrationally will hope for a win against the Eagles, especially seeing we are playing at home.

by redwolf75 on Oct 26, 2008 10:06 PM PDT   0 recs

I agree

I feel that Singletary, doesn’t pull him in a close situation.

Also, you are right we are playing at home and if the DEFENSE plays like today putting the same pressure on McNabb while maintaining good coverage against the Phili receivers. We should have a great chance.

However, If Matt isn’t back soon, I am not sure!

Did anyone ever Figure out why Jones didn't get very many carries?

I know they are splitting time….but it semmed like JJ didn’t get nearly as much time in the game. Not just carries but snaps.

by collyb on Oct 26, 2008 10:37 PM PDT   0 recs

Yeah, I don't get this.

He isn’t hurt, is he? Because he’s clearly superior to Mo in pretty much every aspect of his game… except maybe keeping his mouth shut.

I really, really, hope this isn’t Holmgren doing the usual “I’m gonna play the guy whose face I know the best” routine.

by djafrot on Oct 26, 2008 11:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Holmgren's master plan

Because Mike Holmgren wants to make everybody happy and give them equal playing time. Even when Morris can’t figure out how to go north and south instead of east and west.
