Washington Football: ROADDAWG weighs in on Washington-Alabama Game

Agree with most, but sticking to my guns on the poor play calling. Smith is a cancer, and piling up stats on shitty teams didn't help UW execute in the crunch, when they needed it most. Stats arguments obscure the make or break plays that kept the dawgs from being a lot better on offense. Think Saban's ever satisfied with his O or D? That's what makes champions.

I thought I made it clear the playcalling fucked us and that I don't love Petersen's offensive philosophy. There is a grey area though, and I recognize how much growth the offense showed this season, to the surprise of many of us here.

I wish Smith was long gone, but it's not all doom and gloom.

Biggest improvements in the Offense came as a result of firing Pease and hiring Hamdan. WRs were night and day better than last year. That, and the outstanding improvement from Coleman at RB were keys to the improved offense. But we still have obvious, stark, outstanding issues that cripple the offense besides not running the ball enough - last years chant.

Smiff simply calls too many lateral passing plays, RPOs and long passes for a guy who can't execute those plays well. Today's pick 6 was just one inevitable outcome of Smith calling plays his guys aren't built for. Colorado would've had a pick 6 against UW as well, if not for Ross's one-handed miracle catch.

The O improves when it ATTACKS opposing defenses, not when it pauses and waits to see whether they buy the run or not. It's all pussy bullshit from Smith that IS DOOMED to fail. And each time UW gets crippled, it goes on tape for everyone to see. If Smith is not fired, I do not see UW reaching the level it did this year, because other Pac12 teams will improve and defend Smith's fearful, lateral passing game.

Ram the fucker down their throats, by ground or by air, but ram it down their fucking throats and break their backs instead of running away from defenses like an Oregon State Pussy QB.
