The definitive post mortem
Last night flipped our conceptions on the strength and competencies of this team.
As badly as the offense shit the bed AGAIN last night, it is conceivable though unlikely, that in-season fixes can be made. Eason more reps. Sit Fuller, Baccheli, Chico, etc and put the young guys in. They
Defense is more troubling. There are some major liabilities without apparently alternatives. Tryon against the run. With Latu hurt, I'm not sure who else could be any better. Kyler Gordon and Cam Williams were picked on by EWU, and Cal did the same thing, over and over. Kieth Taylor is a pretty damn good, but you never heard his name called. There's a whole other side of the field away from him, and teams will keep going there. Who else is there? Dom Hampton I guess. If we?re still Jerkin' for Jimmy, then we are led to believe that Gordon beat Hampton out. Not good. Linebackers, same situation. There's no one else.
Cal, fucking Cal, drove 74 yards, 2 feet and 6 inches with 2 minutes on the clock against OUR defense. That is not good enough, nowhere near it.
There's many worse defenses left on the schedule, but few worse offenses. All things being equal at this tim, it's a 7-5, 6-6 season.

To be fair...no one can keep reloading every single year without any dropoff. Early season is dumb. It'll improve.

The continual shitting on Ahmed is retarded, he’s really fucking good. Be mad at Bush for going into tight formations like a fuckwad on every short yardage situation

Do you trust Ahmed on a crucial 3rd & 2?backthepack said:The continual shitting on Ahmed is retarded, he’s really fucking good. Be mad at Bush for going into tight formations like a fuckwad on every short yardage situation

That was all good but the record prediction. Washington isn't dropping 4 or 5 more games in this league. It's almost not possible.GrundleStiltzkin said:All the chintangibles I thought this team had after the EWU were wrong. There is no swagger here.

Sit Fuller, Baccheli, Chico, etc and put the young guys in. Theymightprobably are just as bad but at least it's a developmental investment playing them. Same goes for running back and perhaps left guard. Watty struggled. Ahmed got over 100 yards but never got the important yards.

And those have excellent supporting casts -
Agree with most of that. The worst part about all the players you mentioned is the alternatives aren't any better. Maybe they will be next year but not now and Pete won't play them as long as the season is still alive. I'm questioning the coaches when some players continually make the same mistakes in a game. After Tryon's 4th or 5th gack you have to wonder about Coach K's communication skills.

What is Latu's injury? I don't remember anything mentioned during the telecast.
