Salt in the wound

RaceBannon

In case you forgot the down trodden Husky football program was getting a bit of free pub after beating USC, even though we knew it was false hope. Talk of a sell out crowd and picked to end the streak against Oregon, the Huskies could have set up a big game against Stanford this week with a win. Recruiting gets a boost. Flowers bloom. Birds sing.

So grasping hold of this momentum the Huskies give up a TD on the first drive and then Coach No Ballsack punts on 4th and 1 and the rest is an all too familiar story of defeat and despair.

Have a great fucking day!

This program loves to face plant before real progress is made. Now we pitter patter through the schedule and end up fighting hunger against the mountain west in mid December. The narrative is we're young with a bright future.

Did any of our profiles in courage media members ask about that punt call? My buddies and I (who hate money) were in the stands and looked at each other in disbelief.

It had not even occurred to us that we would punt. So cowardly. We let Oregon know they had nothing to fear.

The end of game management was worse than a punt. It was literally like the coaching staff saying who gives a fuck. There was no hurry from anyone at all and was fucking strange. Twilight zone shit.

I was screaming from section 304...'WE ARE LOSING!!! MOVE YOUR ASS!"

Alas...they didn't hear me.

No real progress was made. We beat a 7 or 8 win USC team.

If Sark had any common sense he would have kept running the ball and USC would have beaten us.

If we weren't such battered women looking for change we would have realized Sark Sarked that game away and Oregon was going to beat us for the 833rd year in a row.

It's the fucking script and we were doogish enough to ignore it.

I have no problem punting on 4th and 1 early in the game ... we can't consistently enough pick up that 1 yard by running the ball at this point.

If you don't have the balls to go get one yard, at home, on the plus side of the field, then you need to not be coaching FBS football.

That is loser shit.

3rd or 4th quarter I'd 100% agree.

Not on the first drive of the game when already down by a TD.

This isn't fucking Madden where you can hit the reset button if you don't get your way to start the game ...

Id like to see any of you internet assholes call plays while you're three sheets to the wind

Two words:

Oregon's defense.

Peterman shoulda gone for it

doogville

Yes, make sure to give Oregon an insurmountable lead before daring to make the correct call.

Tequilla

Oregon's first score came from 2 broken plays ...

As the game played out, the vast majority of Oregon's success came from broken plays ...

I expect that the coaching staff had confidence in the defense to hold/maintain Oregon's offense, including their running game (which the numbers supported at the end of the game).

For our offense, points are at a premium. Forcing them to play catchup early doesn't help at all.

Punting was the correct call.

RaceBannon

I'm hearing that broken plays count too. Vince Young won a natty on broken plays

Holy shit. It actually was definitively not the right call. Because they punted (0 pts for us (Us?)), and Oregon scored (7 pts, if you are keeping track).

This is not a theoretical exercise. They actually punted and it was the wrong fucking call!

Are we done now or do you want to keep going?

Because I could also address how, if your defense is your strength, THAT IS ALL THE MORE REASON TO TAKE HIGH PERCENTAGE OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP OUT YOUR OFFENSE AND SCORE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT POINTS.

Look @Tequilla, I get what you're trying to say, but in a game where you average around six yards per carry a 4th and 1 is no worse than a coin flip. There's a lot that's been written recently by the stat nerds that shows going on 4th on the opponents end of the field is nearly always the correct choice.

Those stat nerds show it is much better than a coin flip.

When you also take under consideration that Oregon had their QB back and it was apparent UW was going to need points to compete, then punting was FS. It took all of 30 seconds for them to get back to the same line of scrimmage anyway.

Tequila may want to put the gloves back on.
