    The wheels have only been on as much as a JAFCO shopping cart.

    I loved the JAFCO in Everett as a kid. Great toy section.
    Bought an electric typewriter there long ago. I guess I'm old.

    Despite how Nega I sounded on the podcast, I'm still letting it play out. That said, Saturday is a damn near must win game against fucking Arizona. Lose and there's a chance the wheels come off.

    For a gleaming moment I thought there might be a complete turnaround under Deboer and compete to win a crappy Pac-12.
    I'm now back to reality and eight or nine wins is probably a realistic goal with hopefully an upset over Oregon somehow in there. The best teams in the Pac-12 are all better than I thought they would be and that's part of it.

    The offense is watchable for the first time in a long time. As much as it sucks to trade terrible offense for terrible defense I'd still rather watch this and feel like they have a better chance to win games than if it was all defense and the game was over once they got behind.

    I don't feel like they would be doing any better with Campbell or Wilcox.

    Oregon, at Autzen, is gonna to slaughter UW. That is a guaranteed L.
    Never underestimate Oregon's ability to give up 40+, including throwing the snap over the head of the QB on 1st and goal from the 1 for a 99 yard fumble return, or to fumble the ball when all they had to do was take a knee, and then give up a 30 second 75 yard game losing drive, or have three 7 yard punts in 1 game, or have 225 penalty yards in 1 game, or to miss 2 FGs and give up 300 kick return yards, or to have 2 punts blocked and give up an onside kick, or to lose 6 straight games because the starting QB is out with an infected hangnail and the backup QB lost the dr pepper halftime competition to a 12 year old girl.

    I personally preferred winning 27-21 games under pete than losing these Big 12 style shootouts where your only chance is being perfect on offense. Defense is fun and I'm not afraid to say it

    Pete lost a lot of low scoring games he shouldn’t have. Not saying DeBoer will end up being better long term. Don’t twist.

    Does Oregon throw pick-sixes off their own lineman's head? Does Oregon finally catch a break and get a big boy interception only to have a 120 lb. quarterback dislodge it from a 320 lb. guy? Does Oregon somehow lose 30 penalty yards on one play? Does Oregon fumble a snap for a 30 yard loss on the second to last play of a loss against a 4-1 team with no coach and a backup quarterback? Has Oregon won a road game?

    Your team's little imperfections are so cute.
    No trigger warning?

    Outside of a total collapse the rest of the way, I'll still whore for Deboer.

    But unless the defense does a hard 180 between now and December, I expect a minimum two offices getting cleaned out, preferably five. I can tolerate a coach who is dragged down by shitty assistants provided that he can rectify the mistake. And not on a LIPO, three year timeline.
