Post Your Hawk: Week 3

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Sep 24, 2010 6:26 PM PDT

San Diego Chargers (1-1) vs. Seattle Seahawks (1-1)

San Diego Injuries: Ryan Mathews RB - DOUBT

Seattle Injuries: LeRoy Hill LB - OUT

So, last week didn't exactly work out for the Seahawks. Being the shitty road team they are, we should have all seen that one coming. But coming back to Qwest this week should light some fire under them. I'm a little scared by how the secondary played against Kyle Orton last week, especially with Philip Rivers bringing his outsized ego to Seattle. However, with the injury to Ryan Mathews I expect the Seahawks to completely shut down the running game and put the pressure squarely on the arm of Rivers to win the game...which he can easily do. I'm having nightmares of Sproles scoring touchdown after touchdown on horribly defended screen plays.

That being said, I'm picking the Seahawks to win in an extremely hard-fought game. My Hawk is Justin Forsett. 120 rushing yards, 40 receiving yards, and 1 TD. Hawks win 21-20.

Last week in the player prediction challenge, rossco17 received the most recs by picking Deon Butler as his Hawk. Also, here's a link to the point prediction spreadsheet: Link. There were quite a few no-shows who posted a score prediction in week 1, but not week 2. Additionally, there were a bunch of new people who posted a prediction in week 2, but weren't around in week 1. The users who haven't "qualified" for the lead are indicated by a yellow box. I had originally planned this competition to be the person with the lowest overall points, but now that we're having some variation in who's picking, perhaps we should switch to an average difference. I'm going to propose that the person can't be eligible to win unless they've picked 75% of the games. Does that sound reasonable to everybody? If that's the case, then, well look at that, I'M winning! WOO!!!

Um, I actually did post last week, I think you must have missed me.

Well this is embarassing to write again:

Score: Hawks 27, Broncos 17
Hawk of the week: Chris Clemons 2 sacks, 3 QB pressures, and 1 tackle for loss.

I’m willing to be I’m somewhere near the bottom still.

Anyway, for this week I’m predicting Seahawks 20, Chargers 14
Olindo Mare boots 2 field goals of 40+ yards and a couple of extra points.

Big Play Babs

Tips a pass, hauls it in after it bounces off someone else, and makes it to the 4 yard line before being pushed out of bounds.

Seahawks 28, Chargers 24

Thanks for adding me to the competition. I missed week 1 but can certainly make 75% of the weeks.

Did I type Babs? Surely I meant Earl Thomas.

Chris Clemons

I think Clemons is going to have a breakout game with 2 sacks and alot of pressure. the Leo was very ineffective last week and going up against Rivers I bet that was a focus of Coach Carroll.

Seahawks win 24 – 21

John Carlson coming out party

7 catches, 77 yards, 2 td’s. Hawks win a squeeker, 31-30, but a WIN is a WIN. Deon Butler gets honorable mention with another solid game.

In other news, Mike Singletary has a melt down as Chiefs thump Niners who drop to 0-3.

Golden Tate

I'll be your Huckleberry.

I guess I’ll have to go with the 12th man for causing a bunch of false starts…wait, it’s got to be a player? Crap. Okay, okay, because nobody is giving our running game any love, I’ll go with Justin Forsett with 15 carries, 73 yards, 1 touchdown.

Chargers win 24 to 20. Angels weep.
