Seattles my team, and you couldn't be any more wrong about our defense it's vastly improved. Zona may win tho I very much doubt it but Hamlin was a liability. He went for the big hit instead of wrapping up and was a hot head who cost us in penalties. Boulware was let go cause he would've been buried on the depth chart. He was burnt repeatedly by the long ball and while solid against the run was terrible in coverage. He has talent but his growth into the safety position wasn't going as well as was hoped by his early success. Grant and Russell shore up the positions. They are reliable in coverage and in the run game and being coached by Mora Jr is only helping the secondary. Our linebackers may be amongst the best in the league. The weakness is in run stopping, something as well as edge ran last week isn't a huge issue vs the cards. I'll take our dline vs their oline anytime. This is about the best defense the hawks have fielded that I can remember in my lifetime. On offense the key players are healthy, tho hackett out doesn't help. Last year Shaun and Matt having all the time off kept the offense out of sinc, the oline was patchwork last year, reciever banged up, the year never really got on track but they're healthy and this team is being vastly underespected and my hometown allegiances aside, they may be the most complete team in the nfc. Bet Zona if your numbers tell you its the right play but the hawks are gonna cost you money this year if you think they'll be worse off than last year cause this team as it is miles ahead of it.
