If you thought this was a CFP team with 7* conference games anyway.
Win the North Jimmy. Then win the short bus P5 conference.

I read their game thread I think for the Arizona game. It was 4 people.
The reality is the only path to the CFP was that the flukiness of the schedules would maybe shelter the team from the head scratching losses that inevitably come.
All our major bug a boos were eliminated: We didn't need to travel to the desert, missed the LA schools, and had an empty Autzen lined up. The annual Shaw Smirk Smackdown was also neutralized by being in Seattle, where we do typically beat them.
We always needed to beat an undefeated top 10 Oregon and USC back to back with serious Carnage in the rankings ahead of us to get a shake, so the Stanford loss really doesn't mean anything.

THE OFFENSE ISNT THE PROBLEM
It's hard to blame a quarterback for a loss in a game in which the defense forces a single punt and the kickoff team yields average starting field position past the 30, but I don't think it's unfair to be critical of his play, and that's a different thing. Part of the job of the quarterback--maybe the biggest job--is to check into the right play based off of defensive alignment. Being in the right play is job one. Executing that play is job two. It's hard to know the hit-to-miss ratio for the former, as it's only the checks into failed plays that are visible. All I know is that they've happened many times per game all season, usually in the form of checking into an off-tackle run against a stacked box and the run getting stuffed.
To the latter, there is a world of difference between "getting the ball to the receiver" and throwing accurately. Accuracy is about ball placement and trajectory that improves the success rate and effectiveness of the play. Accuracy is leading a wide open receiver instead of leaving 20 yards of YAC on the field with a low ball. Accuracy is throwing a fade over the top of the defender instead of on a rope where nobody can catch it. Accuracy is putting a ball in front of a tight end who is running full speed to the sideline a mere five yards in front of you instead of making him twist and reach back and octuple the odds of it being dropped on third down.
Sometimes your defense just sucks and the offense needs to win a game for them. Super Bowl and NCAA championship teams throughout history have had games like this. It's not 1905. If your defense has to hold teams under 30 EVERY game in order to win, you don't belong in a NY6. This offense has a downfield passing problem that packs defenders in the box, making everything else more difficult. It has a red zone scoring problem. Is has a first half offense problem! If you can't see that QB play in the first three quarters of three out of four games thus far is at best a major component of those problems, what games have you been watching?
This board is obsessed with Big Dick Energy, and that clouds evaluation. Hence hate Browning, love Morris. They both were/are flawed--interestingly, flawed in the exact opposite ways, but the flaws have led to the same difficulties in red zone struggles and putting a 15 yard lid on the offense.
Morris didn't lose the game, but he's on a long list of players/coaches that contributed. It was a real team effort being that shitty against that opponent.
