Post Your Hawk: Week 9
New York Giants (5-2) vs. Seattle Seahawks (4-3)
New York Injuries: Shaun O'Hara C (Foot, QUESTIONABLE), Madison Hedgecock FB (QUESTIONABLE), William Beatty T (Foot, OUT), Osi Umenyiora DE (Knee, PROBABLE), Gerris Wilkinson LB (Hand, PROBABLE),
Seattle Injuries: Jordan Babineaux S (Illness, LP Wed.), Colin Cole DT (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Matt Hasselbeck QB (Head, DNP Wed.), Brandon Mebane DT (Calf, DNP Wed.), Russell Okung T (Ankle, DNP Wed.) Tyler Polumbus T (Knee, DNP Wed.), Michael Robinson RB (Hamstring, DNP Wednesday), Chris Spencer C (Neck, DNP Wednesday), Golden Tate WR (Ankle, DNP Wed.), Mike Williams WR (Knee, DNP Wed.)
Good lord, we're beat up.
Well, last week was just a shit sandwich, wasn't it? Horrid play from the offense, and a defense that broke down late; color me terrified of this coming game against the Giants. Seeing as how the Raiders manhandled the offensive line, I have no doubt that Hasselbeck will be running for his life on Sunday. My Hawk of the week is Michael Robinson. I think he picks up four blitzes that would have ended Hasselbeck's starting NFL career. Giants completely grind us into the turf 34-6 in one of the most embarrassing home losses ever for the Seahawks.
There was no clear winner from last week's Post Your Hawk, so we'll just call it a mulligan. Click the following link for the point prediction standings: Link.

Charlie also scores the 7 point for the Giants here too..
He feels so bad by his dominating performance that he runs the other way, leaves the football in the end zone for a Giants DB to roll on it.
What a guy!
Oh, and after TD #10, the league submits instantaneously and grants us the Super Bowl win.
Ka-Kaaa!
Hell of a game by Mare
6 FGs and the 12th man gets a Safety due to FEAR.
Shanghai Kelly's on Polk St. in San Francisco is the worst bar on the face of the earth (at least on Sunday mornings).
Deon Butler
The offense miraculously finds a way to get the ball to him deep and burns the Giants, who follow Oakland’s defensive schemes a little too closely.
Butler goes 4 – 98 – 1 TD.
Seahawks pull a magnificent upset after both Matty and Charlie leave the game, and Jon Ryan takes the helm as emergency QB and leads the Hawks to a 19-17 victory.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
But now that Charlie is starting...
and Zac Robinson will be there; Along with “actual” emergency QB Michael Robinson…that probably won’t happen. But that’d be sweet, haha!
The New York Football Giants
Have a quarterback who is tied for the most interceptions in the league (11).
Have not beat a dominant team so far this year.
Have not won in Seattle since 1981.
The Giants prey off of sack statistics and the play of backup quarterbacks. Without all of the injuries Seattle sustained last week, it would be hard for me to favor the Giants.
… still, gotta be optimistic.
Seahawks win 21 – 17.
MARSHAWN LYNCH finally makes it work with 80 yards and 1 TD.
C! HOX!
I hate going into a game expecting a loss
That said, Giants roll us 24-10
Milloy 9 tackles, 2TFL, 2 sacks.
Out of curiosity, what do the highlighted cells in the Average column indicate?
Participants who don't yet qualify to win.
In order to qualify, you have to have picked 75% or more of the games.

Thanks
I assumed it was something like this. Is the current threshold 3 or 4 missed weeks? I notice most people with 3 weeks missed have the Average highlighted as well, but there are a few others that are not highlighted (row 17 for example).
by SmartAssCoug on Nov 4, 2010 12:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Thanks for pointing that out.
75% of 7 is 5.25, so really, people who have missed a maximum of 1 week are the only eligible ones at this juncture. After this week, that number will be 2.

It's now updated to reflect this.
And, hey, look at that! I’m now in the lead among qualified participants. Yay me!

ET - 1 int, 8 tackles in a losing cause, as the Giants crush Seattle 30-9
The G-men D hit Hass so hard his whole family falls down
BMW comes back in this game with 11 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Not nearly enough to push us over the top, but the 12th keeps us in it with the Giants winning 24 – 20
"Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback."
Can I change mine since I was ignorant and didn't actually read the injury report?
I guess I’m taking Force with 100 yards running and receiving.

Leon Washington.
The Giants have terrible special teams.
Therefore Leon goes for 1 KO return to get us going early on and we ride that momentum along with the Qwest crowd to victory.
Hawks 27-Giants 24
Leon Washington.
You beat me to it, but I’m saying Leon goes for one KR and one PR and helps us hugely on field position. Whitehurst airs it out a few times but is scrambling too much with our lack of an O-line. Game stays competitive until the 4th. Hawks go down 34-21.
Thank you, Walter Jones.
Thank you, Ken Griffey Jr.
Marshawn Lynch
109 yards, 2 TD. Hawks win 21-17
Houston Rockets, all day everyday.
Actually, do you mind if I change it?
Sudden change of heart – I’ll take Thurmond with a pick and one pass defended, same score Hawks win 21-17
Houston Rockets, all day everyday.
Well, shit, now my prediction is totally outdated.
I think I’m going to revise my score prediction slightly. I still think the Seahawks get beat, but I think we at least score a touchdown. Giants win 34-13.

This is a tuffy
Key to the game is Seattle stopping the run. Weather is low 50"s with 50% chance of rain. If Seattle’s run stopping success is more scheme than individual performance, and Bryant, Cole and Mebane are replaceable and we can force Eli to throw, we have a chance. If not, they will grind us to dust. This is a trap game for NY. They are favored by a TD and expected to score about 24 points. I think Qwest, weather and road game keep this game closer than expected and lower scoring. That said, I see an upset in the making. Seahawks 17 – 13. Whitehurst (who is starting) plays well enough, Leon provides big plays and others step up in the absence of Matt, BMW and Golden. It will be a team effort with several guys being big contributors.
In the end, my Hawk is David Hawthorne with 11 tackles, 2 for loss and 1 FF.
CHARLIE BIT HASSELBECK!
AND throws like a Mother fucker. Just Cum SLinging like Sexy REXY used to do!
33-45 512 Yards 5 TD and 2 INT, Hawks 38-35
Can we get a 12th Man?
12 false starts (breaking previous record) and 2 missed FGs.
Seattle Wins 17-10.
Shanghai Kelly's on Polk St. in San Francisco is the worst bar on the face of the earth (at least on Sunday mornings).
Charlie!! 19-38, 268 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT
Hawks win 27-20. Whitehurst makes the best of a tough situation showing that he’ll make mistakes but he has an arm that can hit some deep routes. No one thinks it’s enough to bench Matt, unfortunately.

Giants are over rated.
Giants D gets called for 6 offsides and 2 personal fouls in a melt down.
Beast mode racks up 115 yds & 2sTDs from illegal touching.
ET with a pick, Leon with 80 return yards and hawks win.
24-13
David Hawthorne
1 sack, 1 INT
Giants 49 Seahawks 3. It’s actually 7-3 at the end of 3 but the defense goes on strike in the 4th.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Chaaaarliiiiieeee Whitehurst!
Because I CAN. 20-40 3TDs for 278 yards. Hawks 21 Giants 30.
Why can't my higher than average expectations ever be met in the football world? Why?
Stokley becomes Charlie's favorite target.
8 catches, 93 yards, TD.
Seahawks 24 | Giants 21
Giants miss a last second FG.
…and, WT3 with a pick.
Trufant
2 picks
Giants 28-17
Did you realize that the World Series is going on? Yeah, me neither. Zzzzzzzz...
What the hell?
I’ve seen 4 cases of players getting 2 INTs. Be more creative than that.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Whitehurst gets of to a slow start, but penalties and defense limit Giants until he gets going. 24-19 Hawks

Raheem Brock
One pass deflection, one sack, two tackles for a loss, and one fumble recovery.

Whitehurst Throws for 672 yds, 3 int
lynch runs for 432 yds

Nyg's
Crush all our qbs to dust in 2 nd quarter but in the third Pete puts on gear with the symbol for infinty on his jersey, scores 12 Td’s with 4 of them being rushing from at least 30 yards out. Hawks win 125-7

Marcus Trufant
2 int, one of them a pick 6
14-13 hawks
This is so hard to do with any degree of accuracy.
Here goes. Er.
Seahawks lose 30 to 17.
My Hawk is Ben Obomano. A couple of excellent gunner plays, and to top it off, his extra time working behind the scenes with Whitehorse gives me the leg up on the competition. Ben gets 4 catches and 84 yards.

Olindo Mare
4/4 field goals, one of which is in the closing seconds of the first half. Giants win 31-19.
On a side note, I forgot my password long ago and I couldn’t remember my old email to reset it. As you can see, I have reacquired it. So..Namaste!

Letting your kids watch this game- may result in a CPS visit
42-3 giants. Seahawks will screw the pooch. Then text it pics of Brett Favre’s junk.
Efren Herrera is my spirit animal
This is the first time I (and possibly only) time I pick against my Hawks
Giants 27, Seahawks 13
Charlie Whitehurst is my POTG, simply for the fact that he doesn’t suck and seems fairly competent. He will spend most of his afternoon running from impending disaster but will make a few nice throws and only one real bad one.
Eternal Seahawk Optimist since 1976
Jon Ryan with 7+ booming punts with an avg. of over 50 yards.
Ryan’s gorgeous, flowing, blonde mane feels threatened by suddenly having to share the field with Whitehurst’s heavenly locks and has 3 punt return tackles of it’s own.
Sadly, all the Vidal Sassoon volume enriching shampoo in the world can’t keep the Hawks from falling flat due to injuries……. Giants win 27-6
