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?

Scratch that. With how things are going, do you feel like giving Ahmed the ball on 2nd & 9 is a good idea? What do you expect that outcome to be? I don't like it.

All the chintangibles I thought this team had after the EWU were wrong. There is no swagger here.

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 might probably 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.

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.

Our conceptions? Who is our?

Go study for your math test back.

Ahmed is a good back like Herbert is a good QB. They're front runners. They're good when it's easy.

He has terrible instincts running inside and doesn't break tackles. It's either space to run to or nothing. And he never seems to deliver when the pressure is on. That is what Gaskin was so good at. He delivered in the clutch even when there wasn't much there.

Ahmed isn't a bad back but he's a situational guy. He's not every down.

Anything out there about Latu's status?

I've got more trust in Ahmed than our OL. He gained a good chunk of yards yesterday on his own.

21 for 119. He was the only good thing about offense yesterday

Agreed. Ahmed has no business running between the tackles. His legs magically stop at the first sign of contact. Bush trying to implement a power run game while only sparingly using Dick was FS.

I didn't see it during game, but saw several twats about it. Hurt in 3rd quarter at some point.

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.

Have you not been watching? SC, WSU, The U, and I'll throw In Oregon.

Los able games at this point.
