i wuld agree that hawks are getting the shaft on this, but ultimately they're not for 2 reasons: a) just look at the division they're in ( makes up for east coast misery ) b) they are rarley if not ever competitive against teams on the east coast, e.g. bills, giants, and last year at steelers where they didn't even score a point...
no excuses, unless the rest of division is the same way back ...
