    Pete is gonna watch the tape.

    It’s been written before, but it suddenly bears repeating: entering the game, Stanford’s defense ranked 127th nationally in opponent completion percentage (70.6%), 126th in opponent pass efficiency rating (170.60), 124th in opponent yards per attempt (9.4), 115th in passing defense (287.4 yards per game) and 111th in touchdown passes allowed (11).

    Fuller will probably end up in the NFL making plays after being the most hated husky on the team.

    And how about Pete name one fucking thing they truly did to simplify things. Or since I'm already talking about things that'll never happen, an in-depth breakdown of what the problem was and how they addressed it. You know, the thing they identified as an issue last year? Or was that lip service too? (Rhetorical; we all know that last answer,)

    my goodness that is a wonderfully written piece...how long has it been since we've had someone courageous and insightful...and interested in UW (fuck Jood and his Duck angle) enough to put thoughts like that together.

    Vorel captured my thoughts nicely with "utterly incompetent" and "utterly ineffective".

    Last night's game is a huge indictment on Petersen's system since we are at this point in year 6 where nobody else is capable of playing according to the coach.

    None of this shit is his fault. He does the best he can and would be a solid 2nd receiver or a phenomenal 3rd. He needs to not drop as many passes though.

    It's our fucking coaches that is the problem
    How the fuck are the coaches to blame for drops that go right through his hands, off his chest?

    Didn’t Pete say they have to cut their losses? I thought he was referring to Opera

    Petersen often has repeated that those who practice most consistently will earn opportunities in games.


    Right there.... He doesn't believe in fucking gamers. Guys that show up for the lights. We are fucked.

    If the huskies loose their next night game and win their day games, then you will know it is connected to their quarterback & receiver corps with the night lights.

    They won’t play anyone else. Literally anyone. Puka? Too young. Doesn’t know the plays. Osborne and Spiker? Too young, don’t know the plays. Hell, event Chin? Nah, only on trick plays.

    The converse is also true - some people crack under pressure.

    I think pgos is saying that (1) coaches aren't managing the game well and with poor playcalling (2) guys like fuller who cannot separate or manufacture their own luck and rely on a well thrown ball (3) and when they drop the ball it is their own fault.

    but fuller playing in a balanced system will get better opportunities which would probably lead to less drops as the chances a defender will be in his face or draped all over him will be less.

    There are no standards. After a couple drops, you should get pulled. After a couple games of bad production, pull them. It’s a results driven game.

    I know the players behind them suck. If they were any good, they would get in at least a little bit. It’s just depressing.

    puka does not suck, hunter got benched while the other WR did not
