I know its preseason, who doesn't but lets be real here. 14 flags for almost 200 yard!?!?!?!?!?!? The Hawks continued to shoot themselves in the foot all night long. Wilson was playing lights out but always found himself in 2nd and 3rd and LONG because of stupid fouls. The fact that the Hawks were able to over come 14 flags for almost 200 yards and still hold the advantage in total yards and time of possession is beyond me. The Team was always behind on downs which force Wilson to make some throws he normally wouldn't. Preseason or not this was ugly.
354 yards of penalties people in 3 games. This is plain ugly and it did not get better, It has only got worse as the preseason has moved on. I wouldn't worry about it but after each game Pete says " We will work on it" yet those penalties keep climbing even after making it a main focus. 8 the first game 9 the second and 14 in this last one. The Hawks were 4th in the NFL for most penalties last season and this has not been fixed. I don't know maybe i am spoiled by the Holmgren days when the team wouldn't shoot itself in the foot all the time.
What is your take on this out of control and GROWING problem? Don't just say it's preseason because one trend that seems to follow teams in and out of preseason is turnovers and FLAGS.
