Mad Son's Ramblings: Year Three is Prove-It Time for Petersen

    That should be 'priors' not 'prices'. Fucking AutoCorrect.

    It's hard.

    But yeah, as my class poaster friend @Mad_Son is saying the idea is this:

    The important premise is we are predicting something that changes, but is not random.

    Given that the pattern of data is not random, data already gathered can help you make more accurate (not 100% accurate, just MORE accurate) predictions about the future.

    So, we just look at what we've gotten out of Pete so far... let's make it simple and not even use stats, just grades.

    2014 Offensive Grade: C-
    2014 Defensive Grade: B+

    2015: Offensive Grade: D
    2015 Defensive Grade: A-

    What are the grades for 2016 likely to be?

    And then, even more than that... Given our prior knowledge, what new information would we view as satisfactory evidence that a new pattern was emerging?
    And you're comfortable that 27 observations of a dynamic portfolio of 85 units (most of which Pete had no choice to include or not) is a large enough sample from which to draw conclusions? Askin for a fren

    Your logic is flawed.

    Once again- a monkey picking plays using a random play generator wouldn't cost his team three full wins in a season. It's ludicrous

    Take CP's most derided decision - to hand off to Cooper. An overly generous estimation would be that UW's win probability decreased from 99.5% to 95%.

    In other terms that decision, as fucktarded as it was, cost UW less than .05 wins in expectation.
    Not so fast, Two games, Oregon and Arizona, were pissed away through poor play calling and game management. Utah? Is that three? And oh yeah, that decision to punt? Pure pussy.

    Rutgers didn't really sell out to stop the run. They were playing with 2 safeties back.

    UW lineman just straight whiffed on some blocks (or weren't in sync with each other). It's concerning, but also the type of shit that can be cleaned up quick.

    Either way it will be interesting

    There were plays were all five OL just whiffed. The safeties also would read run based on the formations as well. You're right, they didn't stack the box that much. We just telegraphed everything like the pedestrian, unimaginative fucks we are.

    there is no reason the OL will be worse.

    Mad Son puts a lot of time into his Ramblings. We should all thank him for his service.

    I cannot in good conscience thank Mad Dog for his service.

    Mad Dog TSIO = Too Soon. Drink heavily and relax 'til game #4. Utterly meaningless games 'til then.

    There were numerous snaps where Rutgers had all 11 defenders within 8-10 yards of the LOS.

    When you are hitting as many bombs as we did, that tells you that the safeties are out of position to defend those and that's usually driven by their focus being on slowing down the run game.

    Wow, some actually follow.
    Biggest whoosh ever on this board?

    I'm a true nega dawg and fully believe we suck until proven otherwise, but I'm not dumb enough to complain about the beat down we put on Rutgers. The team dos what they had to do. We'll find out after the Arizona and Stanford games.

    THIS.
    It was obvious as fuck Rutgers chief concern was defending the run game all day long. The passing game worked good enough, but there is still too much fuckery as Roady aptly points out. Could we just retire the toss sweep to McClatcher and the zero net yard fucking bubble screens? We should all expect a double-reverse flea-flicker that goes for 5 yards and injures a key player in game 2 or 3. Smiff is hard as a rock just thinking about it.
    Despite the fuckery, UW will win at least 9, because the O has improved enough to execute when they need to.

    That declaration has been the entire point of following UW football for 15 years. The over-under on which weekend to make that declaration and start drinking bleach has been the most interesting and engaging point of following UW football since Tui.

    We remain that way until we aren't.

    Its Peter's 3rd year. If he goes 9-4 thats a big improvement. A coach shouldnt be judged till his 4th-5th year. Especially a complete overhaul of a program. Been saying for 2 years, anything that happens this year is a bonus and year ahead of schedule.

    Enjoy the rebuilding process. Enjoy the games, the indibidual play. If Pete wins north he'll be consensus pac12 coach of year. And deservedly so.

    Going from 4-5 to 5-4 is a big improvement. Everybody says so.

    Baby steps Baabs. If u actually read on you'd notice why being patient is paramount. Charlie Strong didnt do it in 2 years either. It was evident his emphasis on a power downhill running game with a reliable passing game would work. Just didnt have the horses left over from Mack. He brilliantly moved Hurd to WR and brought in a true freshman qb who could actually complete a forward pass. Didnt Petersen do the same thing Babby? Now, coincidentally both teams are in the top 15. Coincidence it is not however. Just patience. Unfortunately most of you bonio's here have zero.
