    Seems he is being metaphorically crucified for the fake punt attempt (other sites and media) and one loss as UW head coach. Let's hope he can resurrect this season and the program, or for all the sad-you-sees and fair-I-sees calling for his head to DIAFF.

    I'm more concerned with resurrecting the program vs. the season.
    Me too. I am so damned impatient, seeing meaningful progress this season will remove doubt about the program's long term direction. I don't really doubt Petersen, things just haven't developed as I had hoped this season - yeah, yeah it has only been one game so far. I just can't wait until the Huskies return to the Rose Bowl with a realistic expectation of competing and winning. How he does on the road in conference will determine how soon such hopes can be realized, or how much more time it will take.

    Overall, I am still more optimistic about the program's future than I have been in over a decade.
    They've played one game.

    Let the one game play out.

    He deserves all the criticism in the world for that call. Doesn't mean we're off the bandwagon or calling for his head.

    Not alleging HHs overreacting. But, from some comments on other sites (including Dawgpound except for one article), you would think Petersen shit himself in the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle of Moses. He made a bone headed game time decision which seemed to indicate panic. Hell, maybe he did it so blood could return to our other body parts after engorging our sweatpants boners too long.

    That's why I had been dizzy.

    Brock called him out. Said you don't take chances like that at this level... kicking it would have pinned Stanford on their own 10( or not) and Stanford would not have moved the ball the way the UW defense was playing.

    He should tread lightly or he may get his brother fired.

    Other than the 47 yards they moved it to score

    But still

    I like to pretend 47 yard scoring drives are as easy as 80+ yard scoring drives.

    I like to say that a 47 yard drive is "not moving the ball the way the Husky defense was playing"

    But still

    If you drive 47 yards from your 20 you are at the Husky 33 yard line.
