The team is pretty much healthy. Only Herring will not practice today (well except IR ed players). The Lions will not be much of a test. If the Hawks play well (like the Jags game) they still will roll over in Minny. If they play poorly well, they're done. WE really won't know anything until road games at AZ and STL.

Still at least our entire O-line is playing together for a second consecutive game...First time this year! I assume Lock won't be back this sun. McIntosh played OK with Ware, he deserves a second start. I dread the Minny game (as I've said for weeks, we should either forfeit, or play Seneca, who can at least run away, Matt will get killed).

I think the Hawks are the same team they have been for four years, only an older, less talented version. They can beat up on crap teams at home, only now they lose to good teams when 3-4 years ago they beat the good teams at home. Still can't show up on the road. In the past they would beat a crap team on the road maybe 50% of tyhe time, and get beat bad when the play mediocre or good teams. Now they don't win any of them.

 I just don't expect this team to win more than 1 road game, combine that with the two losses at home and probably another  and your'e looking at 6-10 or so. Not a playoff team or really close to one considering they will lose virtually any division tie breaker. Until the Hawks can play even a decent game on the road, nothing else really matters at this point.

Agree with you on O line, disagree on Minn

Is a "trap" between AZ and STL

Minn is overrated and soft, play in weak NFC North, will be exposed in playoffs

Would like to see payback for Henderson dirty play on Matt three years ago, that would show some mettle by Seahawks

Probable not going to happen, but would be justice

overrated and soft? Minnesota is better than the cowboys at virtually every position on the field...

Would love to see the heater/curry destroy Favre though against that o-line i forsee a long day for our defense..

adrian peterson could realistically run for 200-300 yards on this d if we don't wake up (for once) on the road.

The NFC north is weak? ummm the lions are but everyone else in that division is a legitimate playoff contender 

I cannot agree with the Minny being soft tag. I think that is just disdain talking.

The team is lost right now, so the injury excuse is not what is holding them down. They just aren't a very good team. No one wants to admit their baby is homely, but the truth hurts.

Right now, I want to see the team play with some consistency. The team is now on extended tryouts for next season and with all the emphasis on defense during the offseason, I was hoping Kiffin was right about Bradley. Maybe he still is and the team can work at establishing their young talent. The rest are most likely gone.
