Figure this shit out, fast. The fucking coordinators make what some CEOs make now. I'm not going to accept 7-6 or 8-5 when the cupboard wasn't bare to begin with. There's no compelling evidence I know of to "blow up the team."

DJ(ILTCHDJ,IWILTD) needs to create a doog flag. Get those vanilla devs on that shit!

And I am.
Obviously, it's a completely different offense with Miles. The whole offense looks so much looser and more confident with #10 at the controls. The line blocked with conviction, and all six backs (counting Miles) ran effectively.
And there are still zero turnovers on the season.
I am fully aware the conventional wisdom is to freak out about the defensive performance. EWU racked up 52 points and a million passing yards. But the Eagle offense is damn good. Adams would be the second best QB in the Pac-12, and the Eagles' offense would rank in the top half (at least) of Pac-12 offenses. UW proved last week they can play stout D. Once Peters and Kelly left the game, UW was relying on a secondary with practically zero game experience, against a team that would embarrass nearly anybody through the air. The brutal, drive-extending penalties (not saying undeserved penalties -- learn the difference) will subside quickly with adult supervision.
The Huskies aren't great in any phase of the game yet. But my feeling is that I'm seeing early signs of how they're going to become great. It's not going to take Peterman long to get the sark off these guys.

UW is playing a lot of guys on defense...letting them learn on the job and giving it time to let the rotations sort themselves out. The system isn't working very well right now, but I think it will when it needs to and given the plush preseason to work out the kinks and see who can do what. The one real good sign so far has been superior conditioning or just a lot of effective resting of players that's shown late in games where the D has been abused for three quarters. I'm not seeing guys laboring in pursuit or missing more tackles. The pass rush isn't slowing down. Those things have gotten better late when the games were on the line.
It's been ugly but I've seen enough signs that it can and probably will improve to stay optimistic. The season doesn't start for a few weeks yet, the offense might be finding itself, and the DBs are getting a ton of extra work in that should pay off. -
I'm kind of in in-between mode. The defense was horrible and playing Kikaha the way we do really pisses me off. I know it's a scrimmage, but what fucking coach would use a DE who had 13 sacks the previous season like that? Petersen said after the game he likes Kikaha rushing the passer and that they need to make changes on defense. I don't think he's like Sark and will sit back. Petersen will get involved and make sure the defense gets better.
Terrible defense, but some of you guys are downplaying how good Adams and the WR's (especially Kupp) are. Look at Adams' TD's in the highlight. He was crazy accurate, very mobile and slippery, and always knew where his outlet receivers were. A couple of them were perfect throws very few QB's make. The two dropped picks really hurt too. Most would feel a little better about 59-38, which is what it probably should have been.
Eastern would be one of the better offensive teams in the conference. Some of you don't want to believe that because Eastern is FCS, but they are good. Very well coached with a stud QB and WR that can play for almost anyone. Mariota and maybe Kelly are the only QB's better than Adams. Really good QB's have always carved us up. It's frustrating, but it's nothing new. We don't have a good defense right now, but I will LIPO for a couple more games. -
uw struggled to beat Eastern WA at home. Road dawg check yourself. Take deep breath and repeat after me. Washington just gave up 52 fucking puts to EASTERN. FUCKING. WASHINGTON.
Good luck letting this play out!!!
