A very strange game

Did you really write that UW wouldn't face a better qb the rest of the way?

Do you actually make an effort to come up with really stupid comments?

Are you krisvashon going by 2 handles?

Jesus fucking Christ
 
Toppy,

I'm not crazy about giving up 52 points today ...

At the same time, it's great film for the coaches to be able to use to help teach, correct, and turn these young kids into better players.

I worry a lot less about 52 points allowed when we score 59 and still win the game.

As RD has mentioned, we probably gave up anywhere from 14-21 points today that could/should be easy clean-up items.

The numbers look terrible and Eastern deserves some credit for that ... but we helped them out a lot in that as well.

Lots of young kids = lots of growing pains.
 
Historically poor Huskie pass defenses do not suddenly improve. It's is going to be mediocre at best all season. Unless they can find some chemistry. I remember when Lambo's pass defense was sucking, then along came Vonture, and one or two guys made a huge difference. I'm mean it is possible that they can turn it around, but I doubt it, because I don't want to see another Oregon win. I care nothing really about the rest of the games on the schedule. Had enough of losing to Oregon. With this pass defense it is going to be painful again.

There's a difference between not having talent and having talent that is young that needs to clean up their technique and mistakes. One you can't fix. One you can.

Well, true, but it takes time. Can you cite any example of a pass defense this bad that ever really turned it around for a successful season? It seems like they either start out the season good or bad, and it pretty much holds.
 
35 first downs and 52 points given up to an FCS school. Embarrassing.

Without Danny Shelton and Shaq Eastern would have hung a 70 note.
 
The thing with Peters is that it's not trying to limit his fire and drive ... what it is trying to do is send a message to him and his teammates that doing FS things on the field that draw penalties that extend drives fucking kills you in football games.

One of the biggest themes that is in play after 2 games is that the offense has exactly ZERO turnovers at this point. You could argue that the difference in the game today were the 2 turnovers that we created.

But then think about all the opportunities that we gave Eastern today:

Peters penalty to extend a drive - led to a TD

How many dropped INTs that led to TDs?

4th down pass that we got a hand on after a deflection that we deflected right back to the WR for a conversion - led to another TD

One of the biggest things that I'm seeing out of Petersen as he tears this team apart to build them back up is how important the little details of the game are. Having opportunities to get turnovers gets your team off the field and takes away opportunities to give up points ... often it puts you in a great position to score for yourself. However, you let those plays go through your fingertips and they often lead to points for the opposition.

Look at the Stanford/SC game today. Stanford makes a living out of doing the small details better than their opponents. Today they shot themselves in the foot and lost a game that they probably win 81% of the time (or more) given the stat line.

It's one thing if the other team beats you ... but the reason that you're 94-12 as a head coach is because to beat you, you force the other team to actually have to beat you by outplaying you. The biggest criticism so many of us had on Sark was that his teams continually found ways to beat themselves by shooting themselves in the foot, taking stupid penalties, etc. What Peters did today would have barely registered on the radar of Sark from the standpoint of sending a message.

And yes, Eastern's QB played a great game today. He's clearly got a lot of skills and he's got more talent around him than many would care to admit. However, I also saw a guy who when faced with pressure threw a number of balls that a more seasoned secondary would have capitalized on forcing more turnovers off of.

TL;DR. I'm just going to assume that whatever you wrote was full of shit.
