lol, every time that I try to tell people that the Rams, Cardinals and Niners aren't as bad as their record might indicate the Cards lose a game like they lost to the Lions yesterday, the Rams literally steal a game from a downtrodden Saints team and the niners get killed by the Redskins. But I know what you are saying Spade - at least this year I can say that we are making sure to get those wins

Say what you want about Hasslebeck - he certainly has a lot to prove to skeptics and needs to step up in some upcoming big games- but he's a very talented player who has been to a pro-bowl and our West Coast Offense definitely plays to his strengths - He would have at least 4 less interceptions this season were it not for unfortunate bounces off of players who were trying to make difficult catches only to have the ball bounce off them into the air and into a defender's hands(I realize this is a fact of life, just am trying to give a little perspective).
The Defense is beginning to show that it legit as well - we held an explosive Atlanta offense to a minimal amount of yardage early in the game until we went into Prevent at the end of the game and let Vick get loose for a long run. Total Yards wise on defense we are only 16th in the league, but somehow we manage to hold teams in the red zone to FG's and those rank towards the top of the league in points per game allowed. Kind of a bend but don't break thing.
Believe me guys, I completely understand your skepticism - the Hawks have burned people(including me) in the past with showing flashes of brilliance - the difference this year seems to be that we got rid of some locker room cancers and brought in a number of high character, hard working guys.
I really am not interested in any team in that division whatsoever to be honest. I've always disliked the Rams, got sick of the Seahawks hype over the past couple years. The Cardinals rule because they knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs.
