Ahh, the 2002 season. Remember how much we sucked the first half of the season? Unfortunately that team was slightly better than the '08 bunch at this point (3-6 v. 2-7).
However, behind a healthy Matt Hasselbeck, the Hawks finished with a 4-2 flourish. I can't help but think we have the potential to do something similar over the stretch run this season with Hass back under center. Yeah, I know a lot of you out there are rooting for that super high draft pick, but 7-9 sounds a lot better to me than 4-12, you dig?
I know that the upcoming sked looks rough, but remember that in '02 we won a number of games that were supposed to be cakewalks for the opposition (@ ATL and @ SD come to mind). Given the talent level of this bunch, there's no reason to think that they can't seriously fuck up other teams' playoff chances over the last 7 weeks.
AZ? Well, they'll be in the playoffs, but we can humble them a bit by sweeping they asses.
DC? I love me some Jimmy Zorn, but I'd love to keep him and his boys out of the playoffs even more.
Dallas? Jeez, do I even need to say it? Fuck Dallas. Fuck them right in the ear.
New England? See Dallas.
NYJ? Holmgren's last game at home? Against Favre? With them fighting for a playoff spot? I can't think of a sweeter win on the rest of our schedule.
What do you think, sirs?

Just a couple thoughts for anyone rooting for a high draft pick; regardless of how high you pick the odds are still about 50/50 that the player pans out. Also, these top ten picks kill your cap for years so if the guy sucks he'll hold your team down for a couple years.
I say win every game you can right now. Go into the off season with some momentum and let the future sort itself out.
