This team is a year away...

Dumbass, I just said '16 is our best opportunity given likely defections. Just said '16 might be our best team for that reason. Read, comprehend...post. no wonder kim ran your cuntTequilla said:Puppy off of his meds as always ...
The opportunity for this program to take hold of the North and Conference starts in 2016 ... not 2017. Forget Puppy's reasons, Tequilla has legitimate reasons that this is the case:
1) Of the 9 conference games that UW plays next year, 6 are against teams that are breaking in new starting QBs (Stanford, Oregon, Utah, USC, Arizona St, and Cal). Highly beneficial in my mind that the Stanford and Oregon games are early in the year.
2) Washington had the 8th rated scoring defense in all of college football last year at 18.8 points allowed per game. The only significant defections off of the defense are Feeney and Littleton at OLB ... positions that I have confidence that replacements will be found. The defense only gave up 30 points in 4 games last year (30 vs Cal, 31 vs Stanford and Fried Donut Mississippi, and 34 against Utah). Given the turnover in the conference at the QB position, I would be surprised if UW gave up more than 30 points in more than 2 games next year.
3) The offense was particularly young last year at 3 critical spots at QB, RB, and LT. As a whole, the OL was young and inexperienced. As the year went along, the results of the offense turned significantly. Over the first 6 games of the year (tossing away the game against Sacramento St), the offense averaged 20.3 points per game versus 38.3 points per game over the last 6 games. While it could be argued that the schedule got easier over the last half of the season, it's also true that the offensive execution was significantly better. Point being that I don't think it's too much to ask the offense to average 30+ points per game next year ... which when combined with the defensive acumen, that should make UW a favorite in the vast majority of games played next year.
4) Puppy's concerned about who backs up Gaskin next year ... will it be worse than the fumbling machine that was Dwayne Washington? Will Sean "Cocaine Cowboy" McGrew be able to come in and contribute as a freshman like Gaskin last year? Given his pedigree as arguably the best RB in SoCal, you have to like his chances. The bigger area of concern IMO is replacing Jaydon Mickens and getting production from the WR position with someone stepping up to be a go to guy. More likely what you're going to find is that the dominance of the OL and Gaskin is going to create opportunities in the passing game for guys and for Browning's smarts being able to identify the open receiver and give them an opportunity to be successful.
5) In the grand scheme of things, while a small class, the 2016 recruiting class is filled with guys that have a chance to be difference makers in the program going forward. I expect that there will be a handful of them that will come in and contribute next year to the point that the influx of talent coming in will help mitigate the talent that left the program. When you factor that into the general talent improvement in the offseason, this team is poised to take a massive leap forward in 2016.
TL, DR summary: Waiting on a favorable home/road schedule for the team to take a massive step forward is fucktardedly stupid ... have expectations and expect to win. No reason not to expect a very successful 2016 season. -
Misplace the thorazine, pup? Fuck o' dear!

Some valid points, but at the bottom of the hierarchy of importance going into '16 for this team. Their confidence is at the highest level since Ricky's rose bowl team. They dont fear Oregon or ASU. Jake Browning lost at ASU because he couldnt hit open receivers. Dont expect that to happen next year as much. Lost to Oregon because Adams came back. Oregon was very good with Adams in case you didnt realize that.haie said:Fuck all these breakdowns, the key is the mental cloud hanging over the program that Stanford is just better, Oregon is just better, ASU is just better, etc.
No better example then in the Oregon game: start off pounding the shit out of them, Adams gets free, Jones turns his head around too quickly and gives up a massive chunk of yardage=Oregon is better, the game is over.
ASU=no need to even go into detail on that one.
Utah=gave up too many turnovers, the refs, they're all seniors.
The coaches needs to stop with the "We'd love to model ourselves after Utah (2015)....you have play great just to HANG with Oregon (2014)" bullshit and just tell the players that they are better and they just need to come out and cave people's faces in. If they do that the turnovers and points will come.
But I don't know if they're just feeding that shit to the media or not but it makes the PAC 12 look like some godly conference when it isn't. Arizona won the South in 2014 and they suck ass.
Football is a mental game with physical sacrifice only being a means to an end.
Ever hear of true freshman making mistakes, not knowing how to put teams away? When you play true freshmen at the 3 most important positions on offense this stuff happens.
Its not Pete's fault, its just youth Haie. Got it? Confidence comes with experience and 'W's'. Which is why on paper this team is a year away. However this team might be ready a year early, because so many young guys got critical reps...hence the purpose of the thread. -
He will help but he doesn't make it an elite group.puppylove_sugarsteel said:
John Ross w I ll upgrade the receivers Bill. Thats why I didnt waste space on the WR unit. Expect Pettis to have a big year too. Our WR's will be just fine, trust Pump on that. That unit is the absolute last of our worries.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Need to upgrade the receivers
You can win without Steve Largents and Andre Risons, but they help especially with an average at best OC. -

This team is a year away however next year might be the greatest opportunity
'17 sets up for the playoff run but early defections may hurt the defense
2 huge games at Oregon and my pre-season north pick WSU could be deadly. In '17 the schedule pits the big games at home, with jr's and seniors all over the roster (if everyone stays, unlikely). Can our freshmen and sophomores play like upper classmen a year early?
Puppy playing both sides so that his meds can talk to anybody that disagrees with him ...
2017 will be special ... BUT ... defensive defections may fuck that over so 2016 may be the more likely year to win ...
No confidence on winning games on the road in 2016 with young guys stepping up compromising the ability for '16 to be special ... BUT ... 2017 will be special IF everybody stays because all of the tough games are at home and littered with juniors and seniors ...
Puppy likes to talk about those that KJV ran ... but also forgets that he takes 81% of his double sided talking points straight from the KJV playbook ...
I suggest Puppy continues trying to beat your chest against lightweights of knowledge like Tommy instead of a true heavyweight of knowledge like me -
Considering you're closer to Kim and Puppy on the doog scale than I am, not sure why you're popping off.Tequilla said:Puppy comments:

It's not about being a doog or not ... those that attack doogs would rather be right than see UW be successful.
If you can't see that there's a lot going on right in the program right now then you've got the blinders on. Even strong nega-believers like Dead Dog on the Road @RoadDawg55 can admit that things are well positioned they just are wondering where the fuck up will come. -

you can't keep saying this shit after 15 fucking years
goddamn -
I haven't said that shit for 15 years ...
What was dooging last year? Saying before the season that we'd be bowl eligible?
The reality is that there's a handful of people on this bored that will find something to bitch about no matter what happens unless we go undefeated and win a national championship. -
Didn't you flag him 20 times in another thread? LOL okay JPurpleJ said:You know @puppylove_sugarsteel is butthurt when he posts twice in a row within the same thread.
