3rd and 16. Who cares if you throw an INT at the 10 yard line (or even a PI call like Rodgers gets all the time). Same as a punt. But instead teddy throws a 2 yard pass to Kyle. Just does not make sense. So sick of ball less plays.

My guess is that we were trying to throw something underneath to pick up yards and get into field goal range, but the hawks have been quick to the ball all game. I'm not sure that is a play to get upset about, 3rd and 16 is probably a low percentage conversion, where as picking up 8 or so yards to set up a long field goal could have been possible.

It is equally ineffective today. Peterson has 10 yds.

The deep pass attempt on the holding call was overthrown by 8yds.
Nothing good will happen in the passing game if the WR never gets a chance to make a play~

We call that Norving now.

3rd and 14? Better take our deep threats and Peterson out and pass to Matt Asiata.

Why wasn't that last pass an intentional grounding? Looked like he was in the pocket and no one was anywhere near that pass?

Then throw down the field and try and get a PI call.

You seriously want to continue?

OK, no, the two are not the same, but the players on the line are? If they're competent enough to block for the league's leading rusher, they can't be terrible, can they? Maybe they're aren't the best pass blockers as a unit, but they aren't as bad as you and others seem to want to paint them out to be, either.

Bridgewater has had time. He's the one, not them, consistently missing on the deep passes that *Bridgewater* has thrown, not the offensive linemen.

Yep, the Hawks needed one to get back into the playoff picture, and thus far it appears they've found one!
