The Hawks enter week six having lost 10 games in a row and while there have been glimpses of competitiveness they often are based on their competition either taking them for granted or waiting to flip the switch in the late game to capture the win.
That might seem harsh but a team that has given up almost a 50 point differential twice during the losing streak with six of the 10 losses in double digits ranging from 12 to 49 points.
In the key three stat categories, the Hawks rank no better than 27th. Oddly, even without John Collins, it seemed reasonable to believe the youngsters would be able to pull a Washington if you will and light up the scoreboard.
