I always found it interesting how metrics said we had a GREAT defense last year. Well, we still went 7-6 so that right there is an argument that the coach sucks and isn't who we thought.
If you are holding teams to 18-19 points a game in today's world of college football, you are going to win a lot of football games.
We lost a number of close games last year due to youth on offense, lack of outside playmakers on offense, and Smith sucking for large portions of the season.
I'm not surprised that you're surprised since you are the ultimate nega doog.
You have to be carrying a lot of scar tissue and pessimism to not see where this team has a chance to be really good next year.
If you're not carrying a lot of scar tissue at this point you either a) haven't been a UW fan for the past 15 years or b) you're too stupid to realize how this program has been raped year after year by it's own malicious administrative incompetence.
I agree there are some reasons to be optimistic. But we suck until we don't. Right now we suck.
Or c) I'm looking at this objectively and see the pieces in place.
I said going back to last year that I saw a lot of similarities between 2012-2013 TCU and 2014-2015 UW.
I expect a very sizable breakout in the 2016 season.

The defense wasn't the problem.
We had a good defense last year. I've admitted it. Not great. Good. I started trolling Chest and a few others last year when they told me that advanced metrics said our defense was GREAT after we lost at home to Cal.
The point is that if you can't do better than 4-5 in conference with that defense, you might have the wrong coach.

I hope you're right. You may well be. But if you're not carrying a lot of scar tissue I just don't understand how.

Mostly. You actually started trolling at halftime in the Cal game thread response to everyone who said how lucky we were that our defense showed up in the first half since our offense tried to put us down by 50.

Yeah, but still. Down at half to Cal, I didn't want to hear that shit. Everyone was blaming Smith that day, but it was cool because Pete did a great job with the defense. It was the coordinator where we failed and the coach where we succeeded. Metrics pointing up.

With all due respect, you're way off base here in your conclusions

the O performance against cal was more of a disgrace than anything i've seen in 5+ years. very proud of our* D holding as best they could despite being given a short field against a good college qb about 700 times. fuck that game. come to think of it, fuck this staff except kawasaki

Things people say if they didn't have a logical counterargument.

Your forgetting that Cal's defense was dominate last year

Oregon scored 26
Stanford scored 31
Utah scored 34
Fucking USM scored 31
Shutting down shitty teams to lower the average isn't that impressive.
And yes, I know some of those points are on the offense.
Oregon hit a number of chuck and duck plays against us ... otherwise we controlled a large portion of the game
Stanford got that total on us with a backup QB starting for us that couldn't move the football
Utah may have been the one game where I think you can look back and say that the defense wasn't very good
There were a number of injury issues in the secondary of the Fried Oreo bowl ... I take that game with a bit of a grain of salt
I see why the team could be good. I like a lot of the players. I also see how we could be a metrics darling.
