That's the target, the Division, not a number.

Futureite wrote:At this point, if I were a Hawks' fan, not sure what the division gives you. Unless the Cards win it, it's unlikely that the NFC West winner finishes higher than 3 seed. Even the Cards are behind the 8 ball to get a 1 or 2 seed with Carolina and GB both sitting undefeated. Hawks have lost to both, so they are essentially 4 games back from them. If I had to wager, I'd say the Pack get the #1 seed, win their first Div game, and will host the NFCCG regardless.
So you add that up, and a Hawks' div title essentially gives them 1 home WC playoff game. And bragging rights, of course. A lot can change between now and then of course (for example, ATL could win the South and Hawks could beat them to leapfrog over somehow to a 2 seed), but this is the most likely outcome in the case of a Hawks' NFC West title. Either way, with that D Hawks are capable of winning on the road as a 3 or 5/6 seed and going back to the SB . Especially if the run game gets rolling again like it did Thursday Night.

This may become a classic story along with that of Al Davis's descent in to craziness. Arrogant folks ignoring the wisdom of football people, discarding people who could help them, and making decisions
We are very fortunate to have wealthy, savvy owner who knows when to back off and when to make a statement. He has hired good people and allowed them to do their jobs. Not everything has been perfect. but this team is coming together in good form.

Locker room is void of leadership - has been this entire season, really - and while I like Tomsula as a person, he's in way over his head at this point.
If Sunday goes badly for them in St. Louis - and there's every chance that it will - I think the wheels come completely off. Even if Hyde were playing, the Rams defense would still smother them.
St Louis - 27-6.
