    Me thinks it’s gonna be another really close game.

    Low scoring, I agree. I would predict that UW wins 20-10 or something. Your defense is legit and your path to victory is by forcing a bunch of turnovers imo.

    With that said, we have been nearly invincible at home, and I think your offense is going to do almost nothing against our defense.
    Pretty much agree with this. I’m not convinced that your defense will be as stout as previous seasons.
    Probably not, especially by week two (I think it will be right there by year's end).

    But it doesn't have to be as good as it has to stifle your offense.

    It won't be as good in the beginning. It will still probably be the best in the PAC.

    Injury depth will be the only thing that might hold it back by the end of the season.

    And the fucking linebacker depth.

    Wilner has had some good picks in the passed- e.g., Trees over us in 2017. But his going with 9-3 just reeks of media knee jerk thinking about breaking in a new QB and a lot of new starters. We've been a 10 win dynasty with way less talent that we're going to be putting out on the field in 2019. I'm fine with calling Stanford as a loss and maybe one other one, but GTFOH with 9-3.

    On Softy he explained it as he feels the huskies have stagnated.

    Haven’t been back to the playoffs. Haven’t won the NY6 games. Losses have increased.

    Pretty much ignoring that it was all done with lesser talent and recruiting classes are vastly better.

    To echo @Tequilla it just such a lazy ass take by Wilner to say we've "stagnated". Either TBSing matters or it doesn't. The evidence suggests that it very much matters in terms of making it to the CFP year after year and beating Urbs and Dabo in NY6 games. Pete caught lightning in the bottle in 2016 and we had a great run, but 2017 and 2018 are probably more realistic for Washington 1.0 level talent. Washington 2.0 is 27 blue chips on our team that are true freshman or red shirt freshman.

    He has dumb point until we win a meaningful game, it maybe lazy but he has a pont. Win to prove them wrong

    Agree wholeheartedly. It's # @FirePete whacko cult until he wins a meaningful bowl game over a top tier opponent. But Pete has show strong signs that he's committed to getting over the hump, however, painful the journey may be at times. We're going no one way or another by 2021 if the Cult of TBS was right or not.

    Predicts losses at home to cal and Oregon and a loss to Stanford.

    Loss to Stanford, fine. It's a road game against a decent team that has beaten us up there recently.

    Loss to Cal. LOL. I think our offense will absolutely struggle but unless Eason throws 3 picks I don't see how cal wins this game. The only QB to walk into husky stadium and beat us (yes I know this is full of possessive pronouns but fuck off) was Sam Darnold who on that day was the best QB performance I've ever seen against us. Now we're going to lose to chase Garbers at home?????? They will struggle to put up one TD. But I know wilner thinks our defense sucks cause returning starters anyway so whatever.

    Loss to Oregon. All I can say is I cannot wait until October 19. The crowd is going to be insane and no way in hell is Pete gonna lose that game. I actually think our most likely home.loss is a middling/good Utah team on a later season letdown.

    Sorry @dhdawg.....


    Wilner was dialed the fuck in on this one. He crushed it this season.







    “Worst-case scenario: The offense and defense sputter early and UW exits the first month with multiple losses, Eason is erratic, the receivers flatline, the pass rush remains on vacation, the young defensive backs get beat a few times too many, losses mount within the division, UW is out of the race by Nov. 1 and Petersen is left to assess the state of the program after a significant backslide.”
