Fuck you with Race's 3" of FBA dripping thunder!TierbsHsotBoobs said:

UW's offense last night looked startlingly like the BSU offense in Husky stadium last year...vanilla and completely lacking confidence in its QB. Those of us who were wondering about Lindquist (many were already sure) got our answer.
The alarming things for me were:
Jaydon Mickens still plays like a frightened true freshman. I don't trust him at all on punt returns. He won't cut upfield to take 4-5 yards when it's there if it means hard contact, and I wouldn't trust him to hold onto the ball if he did. His drop on the first series hurt the confidence of the offense a lot.
Washington has become an overrated message board legend. He has some great runs in him but he takes too long to decide. It looks like he's still learning which, well, seems like it shouldn't be the case this far into his career. He killed an important drive by running to the sideline and coming up short when he could have bulldozed a couple of defenders for the 2 yards he needed to gain the marker. That was a huge fuckup that killed a drive where UW had momentum. Coleman is better.
The OL got no push against a fucking horrible defense. Wow. Atoe could often be seen standing around looking perplexed, or picking his 400lb frame up off the turf, at the end of running plays. Running plays! Not pass downs where he might have been fooled by a blitz package. He was perplexed at how he failed to block his guy not by which guy he was supposed to block.
The defense...not a weakness. It isn't great but there were a lot of players rotating in and out and which was good to see. Qualls had some nice plays and looks more disruptive than our other interior DL. The linebackers, aside from Timu, were almost invisible but I don't know what that means.
TL. Don't read.
I slept on it hoping to avoid making that post. It just had to happen though. All better now. -
Yep, that is the crux of it. Being flat was perplexing. They weren't prepared and Peterson saying he was going to try his best to be a half glass full guy knows that it was ugly.RoadDawg55 said:
Peterson doesn't deserve any credit for the win. He was a great hire, but he needs to show why. I am most concerned with how flat we were all game. His team wasn't ready to play.Tequilla said:Debate the merits of the game all you want ... but Sark doesn't win THAT game with THOSE variables in place ... I thought the general game management of the game by Petersen when he knew what the cards he was dealt was superb. He focused on finding a way to get out with a win and that was that.

If you think I'm paying attention to all posts when I'm sitting here relaxing in Hawaii such that that I take all of your points, recycle, regurgle, and repost as my own, then you can go fuck off.Swaye said:Tequilla restated my post from this morning in a much longer fashion. In case you missed it:
1) Lindy sucks huge balls. He is done.
2) OL is still suffering trust issues from Cozzetto. Looked like my ass after back to back Messican food.
3) Ross is legit. I could cover the other WRs. That's bad.
4) Shelton stuffs people. Where the fuck was Kikikikkahahahahaha?
5) If Peterman is who we think he is he will clean this shit up quick, fast, and in a hurry.
As shitty as it was, Scoreboard baby! In short, LIFPO.
I like FREE PUBing myself. I am a huge douche. Fuck off. -
It was the Willie Mays Hayes play of the game for sure ...RoadDawg55 said:
The last first down Coleman picked up was actually really FS. I was yelling as he ran down the sideline, worried a Hawaii defender would push him out. It could have, and should have been a huge blunder. He did step out too and we got lucky. If he stays in bounds, there's very little time left. By going out of bounds, Hawaii would have had 35 seconds to get into field goal position.
Coleman showed some nice runs on that last drive and I expect that he'll use that to separate himself from Washington who just never looked like he got going.
This is a good example of a teaching moment for the coaching staff to use about how to make winning plays and how to manage the game. -
Always good to pop off when the facts don't support your opinion ...TTJ said:
If Peterman had it all figured out by mid-Q3, why did it take until mid-Q4 to just give the ball to Coleman and Washington? Several of us noted on Friday that the sure way for Lindy to seal his career starting record at 1-0 was to just hand it off and stay out of the way. The Q3 playcalling was horrid, did the deer-in-headlights QB no favors.Tequilla said:...By the middle of the 3rd quarter, you could see that Petersen had made a decision to do whatever he could to protect the defense and asked them to go win the game. If you want a bright spot for the offense in the 2nd half, it was having 2 reasonably good drives with 8 minutes to go...
The run/pass mix for the game was 48 runs to 26 passes - no chance in hell Sark would have had a game that was that imbalanced run/pass. He would have forced the pass to get Lindy going, creating at least one turnover in the process, and that would have been the difference in the game.
As for the 3rd quarter, here are the drives:
Drive #1: run, run, pass
Drive #2: run, pass, pass (drive started backed up at the 2, first run got 1 yard as Hawaii stacked the box big time - the pass on 2nd down was the right play call)
Drive #3: pass, pass, run, run
Drive #4: pass, run, pass
Drive #5: run, pass, run
The play calling was balanced ... the whole concept of running the ball and forgetting the passing game wasn't working because the OL was getting ZERO push during the quarter. What finally started turning the game in the 4th was that the OL finally did start getting some movement starting with the 2nd to last drive of the game and then carried it over into running out the clock. -
