9/19/21 Hawks vs Flaming Thumbtacks game thread

[Gametime]

I don't see this team getting more than 8 wins, maybe 9. Good enough for 3rd or 4th. Time to blow this thing up.

In this division? Could very well be true. If we can lose to the Titans at home after being up 14 in the 4th? We can lose to anyone.

I hope this isn't true, but a part of me wonders if Russ is disconnected. I am not sure I agree completely with Aurora's assessment that if he falls out of MVP consideration he will lose all interest, but I sure get an odd vibe from him now.

I think all Russ wants is to be viewed the best. I think he is extremely jealous of Tom Brady and Pat Mahomes. He wants to be viewed as the same as them. And if he can't get an MVP (hell he hasn't been good enough to get a vote, less the overall MVP) He looks to be checking out. He looked like it when they were down. Great passion when doing well. But, he isn't viewed as the tops by his peers any longer. They dropped him to 12th overall.

I think this is all about Russ for MVP. That's the total drive. If it were about the team, then take less money like Tom did. Russ isn't in the same stratosphere as Tom and Patrick. He doesn't live in Reality. He is a great QB, just not great enough to shoulder a team to the Super Bowl without an elite Defense. Tom and Patrick can and have. Russ hasn't. He just can't realize it. Blame everyone else.

I get it. I said when offered to restructure his deal? It was all for show. That doesn't cost him anything, just moves $ around. If you are really interested in helping the cap? Don't demand to be the highest paid every time you negotiate.

No one can blame a man for getting paid, but don't then act like he does. Blame the O Line, the OC, say you want a say in how the rest of the $ is spent? That's BS.
