This thread totally redeemed the creepy spooge thread from last night, thanks Swaye.

I believe I said average AT BEST. But yeah. The point is that the D is vastly overrated by most of this bored.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
An average defense is good enough to beat Cal.PurpleJ said:The defense was average at best. Not great like so many seemed to think. So there's that.

We got pressure on Goff sporadically, but when it counted (3rd down) cal was able to convert. 50% conversion is very high.Swaye said:
One more question. I was pretty high on our secondary...was the poor coverage a result of the lack of pressure/time for Goff to find guys, or was it just poor coverage?Passion said:5 turnovers. Key fumbles by WRs and Warshington.
Our defense caved on 3rd downs. Lack of pressure and poor coverage resulted in cal having a 50% 3rd down conversion rate. Incredibly high.
Horrible blocking by our o-line.
Browning bad decisions.
Babushka deserves a shoe in the bag...so does Kawasaki.
That's it. -
Mostly offense and turnovers, yes.Southerndawg said:

But dude, cal had 500 fucking yards of offense and their QB threw for 350. You can't win games if your defense doesn't get off the field on 3rd down.
It's troubling that Petersen really focused his comments exclusively on the offense. Again, offense mostly to blame, but 500 yards and 50% 3rd down conversion rate? It's a problem, coach. -
DL - Really lacking a run stuffing DT. Need someone who commands a double team there. A lot of these guys are undersized. Ends are inconsistent with the pass rush. They'll get pushed around if we ever face a real OL.
LB - A couple good players. A few that totally suck. Clay comes to mind. Shitty in zone coverage and not quick enough to the gaps on run plays. Victor is a man.
DB - Strength of the defense. A bit soft at times. They get beat on inside slants too often and the Cal receivers did a good job of getting between us and the ball. Gotta make a hit on those or get under their arms.
Shitty tackling all around, but at least they forced some turnovers and improved in the 2nd half. -
The defense gave up 23 net points, but still.Passion said:

That was my point. The defense had a number of stops in the red zone and forced turnovers. The offense then turned the fucking ball over multiple times and failed to convert on third down multiple times adding pressure on the defense. I don't hang this loss on the defense, it's on Babushka, Peterman and their dreckfest offense.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

But a good defense could have won us that game, in spite of the offense.

It takes a great defense to score multiple touchdowns in a game.PurpleJ said:But a good defense could have won us that game, in spite of the offense.

Or just be good in both halves. Gave up over 300 yards in the first half and let them drive on that first possession in the 2nd half.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
