This is way fucking better than I could have said it. It seems we are trending up everywhere (recruiting, development, defense, energy, fight, special teams) but the offense is so fucking miserably bad, that it somehow negates everything else being better. I mean, this offense isn't just bad, it is fucking awful.Gladstone said:It's so goddamned maddening. For playcalling I could run a mysql script that randomly selected plays from an old NCAA Xbox game and I bet we generate more yards on offense. But as discussed, as we hate on Smith, just the same it stands to reason we hate on Petersen for hiring and sticking with this dumpster fire.
It's a glaring elephant in the room, which is a shame because you can see actual progress blossoming everywhere else in the program. As it relates to in-state recruiting the relationship with local HS coaches has improved drastically over Sark. The S&C is obviously working. The defense has generally been good, with lots of player development at all three levels. Special teams immediately improved. The effort level seems high. All the off the field bullshit doogs love is also very strong.
The whole 'offensive guru' dumpster fire reminds me of Charlie Weis. -
He is not the one who disappointed me the most, you guys already mentioned them, but Travis Feeney as a DE didn't do it for me. I thought it was a waste of his talent and I prefer him as a LB who can swarm to the ball and every now and then blitz the passer. The second half felt more like this, I didn't pay attention if he was lining up the same.

We've harped on the offensive coaching enough, but our talent isn't that bad. It's really not. And even if it is bad, I still expect to have a good enough coach to coax something out of them. It's fucking pathetic. The defense and special teams set them up multiple times with outstanding field position and they twiddled their dicks and kicked FG's. I think they got one first down on either of those drives.
It's really depressing that Petersen and his staff had a long time to reflect on last year's dreckfest of an offense and improve it. All off season to make necessary tweaks and changes. And we come out and play arguably the worst offensive game of the Petersen era. We all know how bad some of those games were last year too. This was as bad or worse than ASU and Stanford last year. There were some good things going on, but it's hard to feel good about anything with this embarrassing of a showing. -
I agree, OTOH I said similar but opposite things about Kikaha (why is he playing pass coverage? We need him rushing the QB every snap! etc) after the Eastern game last year and he went on to a monster season. The buck position still doesn't make a ton of sense to me but it worked really well last year once Kikaha got his feet under him. It's possible the same happens for Feeney. OTOH Kikaha was better pre-buck than Feeney, so maybe not.

Disappointed Petersen is still the coach today

You are right, I forgot I felt the same with Kikaha last year. Wait and see I guess.dnc said:

I would say UWs offensive talent surpasses Colorado, Oregon State, and Wazzu. Maybe Utah, but they have Booker. So it's below average, but not befitting of the worst offense in the league.RoadDawg55 said:Browning looked pretty good.

I thought it was odd they never opened up vertically to make BSU pay for stacking the box. Boise actually didn't pressure a ton, they just took away the run completely. My guess is Peterson thought his defense could win him a FG and field position battle...and he was almost correct. He just ran out of time. -

the maddening thing about the game is that Boise didn't stack the box against us. They had two high safeties almost exclusively. We were up against a 7 or even 6 man box probably 90% of the time and we could not run the ball. It was a carbon copy of the Stanford game from last year.BallSacked said:

You have to look at more than just stats with Browning. The kid is a winner. He was pissed when he came off the field for magna carta, where last year Miley Cyrus was thanking Peterman. Browning even chawed in Peterman's ear a couple times answering what he did, rather than coming off the field with his head down. Also, look at the next play after he made a bad throw. There's a couple times coming down the stretch he way overthrew his receiver because of adrenaline, but he came back the next play. Even after that second sack where I about broke my TV, he came back and got us back within FG range.RoadDawg55 said:Browning looked pretty good.

Look at Russell Wilson, he can shit the bed all game and still throw the game winning TD to Kearse. I've read about Browning for a while now, but I was surprised both ways. How Smith fucked up the game plan and how poised Browning looked. -
How does Perkins & Daniels not get involved? Leave it up to sidewinder babushka...
Buttah baker makes that INT 8 out of 10 times.
King looks to have found a home.
I like the look of Gaines

I'd still take Stanford's talent. McCaffrey is better than any RB on UW. I'd take their OL. I'd take Hogan right now over Browning. TE/WRs are probably pretty close. But I'd keep Smiff over Shaw.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

True Fr. Browning - 20/34, 150 yards, 0 TDs, 1 Int, 4 rushes, 3 yards......@ BSU
A true freshman playing his first game @ BSU plays equally shitty in his first game vs. a senior making his 40th or so start @ Northwestern.....and you'd go with Hogan?
And saying you'd keep Smiff over anyone further shows how FS your post is.

At some point, you need to go out and fucking score! I'm tired of this Bullshit play the field position conservative game. It's the fucking P12, nobody plays defense...the entire nation is ahead of the D on O and we're still stuck in the dark ages. It's a complete joke. Like our uniforms, we borrow from what is "hip" but we don't have a clue.
Smith saw Malzahn throw a bubble screen once but he doesn't know why.

This. No more excuses. I've posted many times that these struggles go back to 2012. The KineBronco guy on here posted the same thing. Prince was the OC of those Boise teams. Smith is ours. Both were often ripped. Petersen is the constant. I guess Smith is as well, but he was only the QB coach of the Boise teams.Doogles said:

He threw some nice balls, moved around in the pocket, barked orders, wasn't nervous, etc. He looked like he belonged, but objectively speaking, he played like shit. 20-34 for 150 and a pick is a terrible game.
We've harped on the offensive coaching enough, but our talent isn't that bad. It's really not. And even if it is bad, I still expect to have a good enough coach to coax something out of them. It's fucking pathetic. The defense and special teams set them up multiple times with outstanding field position and they twiddled their dicks and kicked FG's. I think they got one first down on either of those drives.
It's really depressing that Petersen and his staff had a long time to reflect on last year's dreckfest of an offense and improve it. All off season to make necessary tweaks and changes. And we come out and play arguably the worst offensive game of the Petersen era. We all know how bad some of those games were last year too. This was as bad or worse than ASU and Stanford last year. There were some good things going on, but it's hard to feel good about anything with this embarrassing of a showing.
I thought it was odd they never opened up vertically to make BSU pay for stacking the box. Boise actually didn't pressure a ton, they just took away the run completely. My guess is Peterson thought his defense could win him a FG and field position battle...and he was almost correct. He just ran out of time.
At some point, you need to go out and fucking score! I'm tired of this Bullshit play the field position conservative game. It's the fucking P12, nobody plays defense...the entire nation is ahead of the D on O and we're still stuck in the dark ages. It's a complete joke. Like our uniforms, we borrow from what is "hip" but we don't have a clue.
Smith saw Malzahn throw a bubble screen once but he doesn't know why. -

Petersen needs to take a long walk with Gary P for some perspective.

This year is fucked. The whole team looked out manned at pretty much every position. I'd say they will be better in the future but I think I've said that every year since 1990. So there's that.

Positive: next to Victor it's JoJo Mathis. Going to be a stud before too long.
Negative: D. Washington (piling on). I'm going to start a consecutive game-watch to see how long it takes before he actually makes somebody miss. -
Sorry I can't get geeked up about Browning and his 20-34. It sure seemed like 10-34. The current offense is terrible and if they don't get their shit together are going to get buried by Pac-12 defenses. I could care less how close the game was. We fucking lost. Victor looked great. Qualls looks like he can plug the middle. Mathis might be a warrior but until this team wins who gives a fuck? "We are close" "should a could a would a" it's the same as getting a second or third place medal in kids sporting events. Fuck participation. Win or fucking go home!

But how is the Pac-12 a colossal dreckfest?BallSacked said:
Hogan has also won the conference twice, a rose bowl, and beat Oregon twice, nothing else matters. That was probably the worst game of his career yesterday. Pretty safe bet he gets better. I'd still go with Hogan this year.HuskyInAZ said:
Redshirt Sr. Hogan - 20/35, 155 yards, 0 TDs, 1 Int, 6 rushes, -9 yards......@ fucking NorthwesternBallSacked said:
I'd still take Stanford's talent. McCaffrey is better than any RB on UW. I'd take their OL. I'd take Hogan right now over Browning. TE/WRs are probably pretty close. But I'd keep Smiff over Shaw.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

True Fr. Browning - 20/34, 150 yards, 0 TDs, 1 Int, 4 rushes, 3 yards......@ BSU
A true freshman playing his first game @ BSU plays equally shitty in his first game vs. a senior making his 40th or so start @ Northwestern.....and you'd go with Hogan?
And saying you'd keep Smiff over anyone further shows how FS your post is.
Smiff was a whoosh on your part, but not a big one. Stanford's biggest problem is Shaws play calling. -
Since when does anyone beside Stanford play defense in the Pac-12?Baseman said:Sorry I can't get geeked up about Browning and his 20-34. It sure seemed like 10-34.
