chicken little has arrived & THE SKY IS FALLING

[The POPE]

Oh my GOD people, after reading some of these posts I see quite a few of you have lost your way and believe that what has been determined as a bad year (10-5-1) is the demise of this Franchise. I remember when 8-8 was a banner Fu**ing year in the Popes house. Let's see if I've got all this right: The o-line is the worst in the league, The defense has fallen apart, Pete is leaving, Bevel is a dip sh*t ( I gotta sort of agree on that one), Sherm is out of control, long snapper issues, Hauschka is off this year, Rawls went from savior to Turd, Thomas and Lockett are lost for the season, I'm sure I probably left something out, so if I did feel free to add.
I bet there is a sh*tload of teams that would like to have half as many problems and end up 3rd seed. Here is a dream scenario that many are convinced will never happen, just bare with me. Hawks beat Detroit and survive a tight road game against Atlanta. Then either the pack or gmen beat Dallas (both are capable of that) and guess where the the NFC championship is? The Hawks win at home and guess what rematch of SB 49. Just saying it could happen. The Hawks are loaded with veteran players that have the ability to turn it on in these situations. Whether or not that will happen only God knows and he is not passing the answer down to me as of yet. Most likely you will know when I know, but if I get any hints in the meantime I will pass it on. So my suggestion for all the sky is falling people out there is set aside the Chicken Little suits! Put on your big boy or girl pants and have a little faith.

Wow, ok!

[NorthHawk]

For me, in the middle of a championship window, we let the engine of the Offense decline to a level commensurate with a losing team.
It was a gamble to do that, and we crapped out - at least this year.
Who knows, maybe they will get it together for the playoffs, and they will be better next year, but it means this year is probably a lost year.
That's what's disappointing me.

LOL Doooooom and Gloooom and for good reason.

Except that by the time we get to our favorite fishing spot, you'll have depleted the stock.

Well Rambo when I do fish I prefer top water action. You should try it sometime instead of always fishing for those bottom dwellers, but then again what else would a lamb fan fish for? Now please don't bother us again with your loser mentality. Gotta run now, it's time to slap mother superior on the a$$.

Rambo is HILARIOUS. If you want to win money, just bet the exact opposite of what Rambo is predicting.

I've made a few comments about this character in other threads, so I apologize for being redundant.

Rambo isn't a troll. He's too stupid. No one ever gets mad at him, they just laugh. Now CP Returns was a true troll.

I smell a Rott!

I smell a Rott!

Who the Pope? Naw.

[The POPE]

Nope, definitely not a Rott, just a guy who enjoys pontificating on occasion. ...and occasionally posting on this forum. I am aware of the porn referencing sinner known as Rott that used to roam the neighborhood. Think the dog catcher finally rounded him up and neutered him..unless there is another explanation for his prolonged absence.
Now, as far as the game on Saturday goes I am praying that I won't have to get on my knees and pray if things don't go well, still got a little carpet burn from my last bible study with the Nuns.

Go Hawks

Pope out

[HawkDawg]

Geez, and I thought Rott was narcissistic!

[ACES 13]

THUD!!!

[I-5]

THUD!!!

Nah. Five straight 10+ win seasons say otherwise. If they don't make the playoffs next year, then you can say that. Don't get too excited.

[The POPE]

THUD!!!

THUD my ass. Strong turbulence with a bit of a rough landing would be a better characterization. We will reserve THUD for teams such as the 9ers, Browns, Jets, well hopefully you get the picture.

[ACES 13]

Was being facetious. Just a reaction to a loss that surprised me.

In retrospect, I'd hafta say ... BOING!!!
