    I always found it interesting how metrics said we had a GREAT defense last year. Well, we still went 7-6 so that right there is an argument that the coach sucks and isn't who we thought.

    I'm staying pessimistic because Pete hasn't accomplished anything yet and it's the way he lost some of those games. Not encouraging, but I'm not saying he should be gone yet. I'll give him this year, but he better win the division.

    The division or at least 7-2 are fair expectations. Like Puppy, I do believe there's a good likelihood of these things happening. Like a lot of you noids, I have the dread of the last 12 yrs in the back of my head.

    If you are holding teams to 18-19 points a game in today's world of college football, you are going to win a lot of football games.

    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.
    Cal scored 30
    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.
    Offense fucked the defense against Cal so we lost

    Oregon hit a number of chuck and duck plays against us ... otherwise we controlled a large portion of the game but we still lost anyways

    Stanford got that total on us with a backup QB starting for us that couldn't move the football and we lost

    Utah may have been the one game where I think you can look back and say that the defense wasn't very good and we lost that game too

    There were a number of injury issues in the secondary of the Fried Oreo bowl ... I take that game with a Salt lick

    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.

    The point is that if you can't do better than 4-5 in conference with that defense, you might have the wrong coach.
    With all due respect, you're way off base here in your conclusions
    Things people say if they didn't have a logical counterargument.
    You are confusing me being nice with not having a sound counterargument ...

    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?
    A.K.A. When you're a real forecaster like myself or Sam Hinkie, you just tend to see things that the rest of the rabble doesn't. You can look beneath the surface of getting fucking embarrassed by faggot Pac 12 teams and see the improvement and process playing out.

    Happy now?
    Has anyone seen Tequilla and Hinkie in the same room?

    Well Pete cant coach, he's a WAC coach ,and UW is medoicre so dont get too excited... right nerds?.

    You are the leading proponent of UW sucking for at least 2 more years so I guess you agree with the above assessment.

    Yeah but not next year. We never suck next year.

    Here is the deal. WE have the talent to win this year, no question. But because I am a Husky fan I will not believe it until I actually see tangible evidence that WE are there.

    And I am saying that as one of the leading offseason natty doogs on this site.

    And if WE can't win with our talent, there should be some heads rolling.

    Tequilla needs to take a walk with the wife to Fort Worth to get some perspective.

    Then stay there.
