Thanks for the confirmation...hence the "fumble" by Hasselbeck was down by contact and changed back. It just seemed like that was about the only "good call" the Hawks got...and all it did was fix a bad call, it didn't give them an unearned break. Well, it's in the books now, good bad or indifferent. Do you suppose the Hawks earned any respect for their performance?
Well, Seattle pretty much dominated the first half of play. They moved the ball with relative ease, but just couldnt finish up strong on anything. Josh Brown missing those 2 long FGs didnt help either...JFK
Exactly, had he not been touched it would be a fumble, since he was he was down, no fumble, can't fumble after you're down since the play is over at that point.
I think the Hawks have gotten a lot of respect already and will get more, especially if they do the smart thing and keep Alexander. The Vegas line after the Colts lost was AFC rep +3 over NFC rep, it didn't change when we knew the Hawks were the NFC rep so I think that means everybody saw them (at least after the fact) as the best of the NFC. The problem for the Hawks is the NFC isn't that good and doesn't get respect, that seems to be the only limit to the Hawks respect is that they're in the NFC now.
They won the game, but they beat the #6 seed so.. ehhh who cares like I said Super Bowl Xtra Lame
They'll never get any respect by the Sports media.
