At least nobody can say the metrics or Vegas only predicted 5 wins. Dumbest argument of all time. Sark hit most of the Vegas expectations as well when he was at UW.

Well, we still went 7-6 so that right there is an argument that the coach sucks and isn't who we thought.
We lost a number of close games last year due to youth on offense, lack of outside playmakers on offense, and Smith sucking for large portions of the season.
The defense wasn't the problem.
Oregon scored 26
Stanford scored 31
Utah scored 34
Fucking USM scored 31
Shutting down shitty teams to lower the average isn't that impressive.
And yes, I know some of those points are on the offense.
Oregon hit a number of chuck and duck plays against us ... otherwise we controlled a large portion of the game
Stanford got that total on us with a backup QB starting for us that couldn't move the football
Utah may have been the one game where I think you can look back and say that the defense wasn't very good
There were a number of injury issues in the secondary of the Fried Oreo bowl ... I take that game with a bit of a grain of salt -
Oh shit. Rose bowl and nattys.....

How many nattys for UW LeBron...?

With all due respect, you're way off base here in your conclusionsPurpleJ said:
We had a good defense last year. I've admitted it. Not great. Good. I started trolling Chest and a few others last year when they told me that advanced metrics said our defense was GREAT after we lost at home to Cal.Tequilla said:

The point is that if you can't do better than 4-5 in conference with that defense, you might have the wrong coach.
I don't feel like going into a TL, DR taking the gloves off type of response to how idiotic your position is ...
And I didn't really feel like going down the road of saying that based on your "experience" that you didn't have a clue what you were talking about ...
Happy now? -
I don't know why you would take the gloves off either, considering that the record so far supports my pessimism. By all means, let it play out. But I'm right. The point is Pete hasn't done dick here and he needs to.

We have to win big games before we're anything more than one of the best 3-4 loss teams in the country.RoadDawg55 said:
You over inflate the team every single year. I'll stand by my 8-4 prediction.Tequilla said:
I'm not surprised that you're surprised since you are the ultimate nega doog.RoadDawg55 said:Damn. Can't lie, I'm surprised.
You have to be carrying a lot of scar tissue and pessimism to not see where this team has a chance to be really good next year.
I see why the team could be good. I like a lot of the players. I also see how we could be a metrics darling.
That being said, because I've seen the parallels with TCU, before the 2014 season I stated (before anybody was even thinking of this) that if TCU got competent QB play that they had a really good chance to win the Big 12. Before last year, before the season even started, I said that the one game that scared the shit out of me on the schedule was the game at Oklahoma State.
I've said that I'd be really surprised if this team finished 9-3 or worse this year barring a major injury. I'm not going to say that everybody should be fired if that happens because there's a lot of different ways that you can end up at that record. Before the season last year if you told me that TCU would be 10-2 and playing in the Alamo Bowl I would have said that would have been a pretty bad year. Then you start factoring in all the injuries, etc. and at the end of the year I was probably more encouraged about the direction of the program going forward than at any other time. -
8-4. Unless something really weird happens.
