There.

I just had to get that outta my system after that horrible Sunday.

I feel better now.

Russ sure didn't look right yesterday, something in his eyes looked off. Not sure what it was but the whole team seamed to be un prepared.

RW has done some awesome things in his young career. But having gone from high school through week one of this season without losing by more than a TD he has had 2 10 point losses in the last 4 games. In both those games he had the ball in his hands late in the game with a chance to tie or win late(actually twice yesterday). Those drives ended with inaccurate throws, out of bounds in San Diego, and an incomplete bad throw and a pick yesterday.On the interception he had Harvin wide open just a few yards from where he tried to force the ball. Hes great but he is human. Russ had a great game a week ago and an epic drive vs Denver but he cant keep pulling rabbits out of his ass with this discombobulated offensive strategy much longer.

If I were Carroll I would fire Bevell right now. John Harbaugh did it mid season with Cam Cameron and won the Super Bowl.Something needs to change here or they might not make the tournament..

2 things we only lost by 7 in our last game so still only 1 10 point loss, However besides that you make great points he can only do it so long and he is doing it behind one of the worst pass blocking o-lines in the NFL and without a go to WR or anyone even close to a #1, with at best questionable play calling. lets look at a few other QBs

Luck - 6th pass blocking o-line and has TY Hilton, Wyane, Nicks to throw to
P Manning- 4th pass blocking o-line and he has Thomas, Welker, Sanders
Brady 19th ranked pass blocking o-line (ours is now ranked 28th) and he has Gronk, Edelman
Rodger o-line ranked 19th in pass blocking and has Nelson, Cobb to throw to
Brees o-line ranked 5th and he has Graham, cooks, Colson,
Ryan 7th pass blocking o-line and he has Hester, Jones, White, Smith
Rivers 9th o-line, and he has gates, Flyod, Royal, Allen


I think I made my point compared to all of them RW has nothing but until this past Sunday had made lemonade out of lemons. Someone has to step up

The dearth of wide receiver talent on this team is often glossed over in assessing the hawks. Baldwin and Kearse are both undrafted over-achievers and I love them but angry Doug is a 3 at best and Kearse is a 4. Not sure what to call Percy, but he is not a number 1. I've heard lockette referred to in the national media as an example of the talent that the hawks have surrounded rw with, on the contrary lockette, who has been cut and resigned multiple times by multiple teams is an example of how untalented our wr corp is. P rich and Norwood have barely even sniffed the field. No one is getting separation We are really seeing the impact of
losing golden Tate.
