It's not so much that they need this game desperately, because they don't. It's the performance in general. I haven't seen a ton of the game, but the body language is piss poor, especially Avril.
Losing by 7 to 6-6 GB on the road, fine.
Losing by 25 to them. Fuck that. Hawks are way better than that. Call me a 12, homer whatever. That's fucking unacceptable.
They've switch to Aints/Buccaqueers (lol). I'm fine with this Fox decision. No need to watch Belarussian feed and insert more viruses onto computer today
I don't understand why people hate on Russell for his faith. It's almost like people feel threatened by it. So what? It's his life.
That being said, he looked like shit today and there is deep concern about where this team is going. But Russell, corny as he can be, is one of the great QBs in football, and worthy of respect.
Hawks are back to being average team, who luckily play in the shittiest division in Football again (it's come back full circle to the Clipboard Jesus days of Charlie Whitehurst winning the NFC Worst with a 7-9 record)

This idea is the definition of over reacting.
Wilson wasn't great today ... but it just was one of those days for the balance of the team. How many of the players were slipping all over the field? The decision to throw to Graham on the 1st INT wasn't great but the fact he lost his footing during the throw turned it into an easy INT.
The INT before half was a great play by the GB player who I'm assuming saw the film from the New England game, saw a similar action, and acted. I'd be willing to bet that Wilson never saw him. The Kearse INT gets called as interference 81% of the time. The INT to Baldwin hit Baldwin right in the helmet. And the INT to Pope on the screen pass wasn't a great throw and certainly could/should have been better, but a pro needs to also make that catch or at minimum not bat it right up in the air.
The reality also is that if they win 3 straight games against the division (2 of which are at home) they'll get the 2 seed. Get a bye, and a home playoff game and most likely in the NFC Championship. I'll take my chances playing the Cowboys.
Are they a great team? No. Do they need to improve the OL play? Absolutely. But to act like this whole thing is broken is just wrong. It's not.

Broken maybe not but the trend is clearly going in the wrong direction. Last few drafts haven't been what a great front office would have come away with as well. They hit home runs on many late round picks (which I'd argue isn't very repeatable) at the beginning of the is era but really haven't added a true impact player via the draft in awhile. No one wants to talk about that though. Easier to blame Bevell.

He felt like teaching Russell today. Multiple interceptions lose football games
