    Dwash participating in any plays highly disagrees with this statement

    How is lindy even involved on the field to begin with? The more and more I watch it, the only reason another QB should step on the field is if they were so close in battles you're swapping series or quarters or something. Here's a clue UW, even fucking Ohio state picked a fucking QB.

    But no, we are smarter than everyone and put a highly inferior qb on the field(ice cold btw) to do what exactly? Christ, I will give them a pass and say the first couple games the eyear you throw shit at the wall and see if it sticks. However in week 9 you still think this works?

    I thought by this morning the xanax would kick in and i'd be calmed down, but instead I get more fired up thinking how much better a Win would have been for the weekend.

    The color guy said some call showed how creative smiff is. DDY is right. That's all these fuckstick coaches care about

    This is the only wild Swede I ever want to see again.

    Kevin shockey of kjr asked smith about the swede package and smith said lindy is the team captain and they want him to be part of it.

    So, okay... just let's pretend that my real reaction to this is not a) i fucking knew it, and b) burn down the world...

    You're telling me that we elected shit bags for captains and we play them because the players are so retarded they don't know who to elect for captains? FFS.

    Holy fuckall.
    It's pretty telling to me that the players care more about their butt buddies feelings than winning. Think Empterman gave a fuck about the 3rd string QBs feelings? Win motherfuckers, or I will kill you was all he cared about. As it should be. Our team is full of fags.

    This is where "Built for life" fails hard. Can we just be a "Built to win" school, and let all that other life shit sort itself out by somebody else later?

    Shit I know I might be lit up for this but I think the Swede role
    could be productive. It's just very, very poorly used. 95%
    of the time it's so predictable with a simple handoff but change
    it up a bit and it might work. Run Lindquist from a wildcat or zone read, or let the guy fucking air it out, or a shovel pass to Gaskin. The basic idea is not bad to give
    Browning a break if he has a few bad series and needs to calm down but Jesus,
    throw some creativity into it to keep the defense guessing.

    This tells me that the coaches want their "friends" to play even if they aren't good enough. Prioritizing something else over winning is the ultimate death knell for a program. Smith and Petersen are terrible.
    This was exactly my thought.

    Using a play to set up a trick 10 games later is DOOR-ASS-OUT!!!! I'd rather direct snap the crap to Gaskin than have the Swede in there. Browning should never come out at this point unless we are up 30. Hopefully he finds a Smart car and drives it up Smiff's ass in hopes he finds a clue.

    This. How the fuck are we still doing this wild swede bullshit, but we've just now seen Gaskin in the wildcat? So fucking confusing.

    it's the dumbest play package I've ever seen. He never ever throws, and even if he did, he sucks. They don't even do anything like the option (the real option, not the read option shit). At least if they did that, there would be some element of surprise (I'm not saying they should do that).

    He has dirty picture of someone. That's the only possible explaination

    Listening to smith and Pete, I would not be surprised if that's the end of the wild swede package.

    They were both surprisingly blunt about how it sucks and they aren't sure why the are running it.

    It took these two fucks NINE fucking games into the season to figure it out?

    Maybe it was because of the hydroplane races on the video board, but I swear I heard the crowd yell and clap when Lindquist came in the first time.
