All I can say is WOW!!! Wow, wow, wow!!! Did I say wow?
You guys know what a stick in the mud I've been, again and again, this season. Today, I've been inspired to finally suspend disbelief. Will this team make the playoffs? I don't know but why not? From this moment forward, that's what I'm pulling for. And Walker -- wow! Bryce Hall looked great for New York today too until he went down, a cautionary tale for all teams. But K9 has gotten past the injury that bit him at the beginning of the season and shown the league that he's a man with whom they must reckon.
As for Geno, I'm a believer. To the point that I've actually come around to the notion that the team might want to sign him to a two-year extension right now. And then, sure, feel free to draft a QB. But let's bag Geno. If we don't need him next season, I'm sure he'll trade nicely.
What else? The defense. Really stepped up today. The Chargers are not as good as their record would indicate. They're all banged up. But we beat them on the road. The NFC West is surprisingly weak. So why not Seattle? If we go out early in the playoffs, fine. Let's take our best shot to go as deep as we can -- and who knows.
In case all this goodness wasn't enough, Denver went down today and Rypien played well. Not great but better than Wilson. Does this create a QB controversy in Denver? I have no hatred toward Russ. In fact, I wish him well (after we get the first pick in the draft this year). Could today's loss cause them to start trading assets? What a great day.
Stock up for the OL as a unit keeping Geno mostly clean and for the run blocking (plus a shout out to Geno for getting downfiled for a block on a Walker run!).
AND stock up for the DL as a unit, holding the Charges to 55 yards total in the run game and getting consistent pressure on Herbert.

Yeah right. Running backs have no value and Kennerh Walker was a wasted draft pick. 168 yards, 2TDs and 7.3 yards per carry. Me and Seaside Joe say neener, neener. neener to you all!!!
Sorry I needed to point out we lost to the Saints and beat the Broncos, however neither team is very good so point made.
I caught an angle and it looked like Blount was coming around a Charger player and that maybe why he missed the fair catch sign. I will add a penalty taken in that end of the field and the very physical hit wasn't a bad thing. What was a bad thing was Coby Bryant being called for a hit to the head, when the Charger player ducked into Bryant.
I thought Geno showed very good poise at different times of the game even though it looked like he was beaking off to the Charger sideline after a completion.
Ken you showed us Seasiders almost every highlight of KW3 college career. This got us ready for these three sublime performances. For a 205 pounder he runs with the power of a much bigger person. His power is coming from an incredibly strong backside. His 74 yard game winning run was a thing of beauty but not surprising as you had us ready for it.
Last thing I stepped out of the room and didn't see what happened to DK. Fingers crossed that the big fellow is going to be OK. Tyler Lockett had a gutty game today and it looks like his hamstring is fine. Next week two of the top NFC teams do battle, when the New York Football Giants come to Lumen field to take on a Sehawks team with a defense that's coming together. In July I never thought I would write a sentence like my last one
Based on the radio broadcast, I’d give Jackson a Stock Up. There’s a reason why these guys aren’t receivers. FWIW, both Raible and Wyman were complimentary of Blount despite the penalty. This was a convincing win by any standard—and the most satisfying road win since 2017 in Philadelphia.
Going into the season all I wanted to see was steady improvement throughout the season. I was not expecting this. Is it outrageous to think the Hawks can make the playoffs?
As impressive as W3's long touchdown run is, I have been watching the first one over and over. Man, the blocking on that play was PERFECT and Walker hit the hole with such speed that he could not be stopped short of the endzone. That first touchdown was an incredible play too.
Can a half dozen rooks and one geezer QB be our ticket to the play offs? Hell yes!
Bob's logic : Many more experienced pro's are very good are playing at or near their potential by mid season. Our rookies are very good and are just starting to climb the learning tree... getting better each week.
As for Geno...years of reps in practise and preparing for every team, every year, without the accompanying physical 'sack' trauma, makes for a very fit, competent and confident QB. Geno not only knows OUR system well and has every tool needed to run it, but he understands what his opponents are doing on defense as well as anyone not on their team.
I hope all those folks predicting how bad Geno and the Hawks would be this year are enjoying the taste of crow.
What was the BS false start call about? The replay showed nothing and Geno was PO'd. Also, the personal foul for leading with the helmet against Kobie was plain wrong. He was trying to used his shoulder but the receiver ducked his head. I hope the league reverses that. Last ref comments, we got away with one when Nwosu should have been penalized for a blow Herbert's head and a facemask penalty on the same play. This was not a very well refereed game.
It appeared that Barton saw more snaps this week. We won't know until tomorrow but did anybody else notice more linebackers on third down?
I had the same thoughts on Eskridge. Fumble, PI, 0 yds receiving, 4 yds rushing. I watched him on several plays and he gets no separation. He obviously has talent, you don't get picked in the second round if you don't have a resume, but he just can't seem to put it together.
-I call foul on your assessment of Mike Jackson. Yes, he should have caught that ball but he had a damn good game. I say "stock up"!
-Ryan Neal. Can you say "YES" but it's a long drop to his backup.
-Marquise Goodwin made me feel much better about our receiver situation.
- I also think it's unfair to stock-down an offensive lineman who gives us a sack immediately after coming in. It's not uncommon and it seems to take a couple of plays for them to get going. Also, he's still learning the guard position.
We should have Sidney Jones, Dee Eskridge, Noah Fant, Josh Jones, and Cody Barton on the trading block plus draft capital and non-essential players. My wish list is Elijah Moore, Jonas Griffith, and Joe Tryon. Other players of interest are Jakobi Meyers, Roquan Smith, DaRon Payne, Albert Okwuegbunam, Brian Burns, Cam Akers, and Isiah Simmons.

Solid win against a good team. This was not the Hawks team I was expecting, but definitely a Hawks team I'm proud to root for every week.

How about Geno, this guy make me smile !
Team win. Too many players that made big plays on both sides of the ball.
M. Jackson dropped two interceptions, I believe. Oh, well, that's why they are DB's and not WR's I always say.
Joey Blount is an undrafted rookie and that was NOT a fair catch by the rule book. So I'd excuse him for that one, it was a great tackle.
