The offense pisses me off to no end, it's killing the team, I agree with the millennial fucks on that, but Chest makes a number of good points.
It is only a year and a half into the Peterman era, and he did inherit a mess at a number of key positions on offense. Sark failed to restock the cupboards with guys like Price, Sankey, Kearse, and ASJ, let alone pay any attention to recruiting the O-line. As a result, Peterman has been forced to start true freshman at an unusually high number of positions, particularly along the O-Line. We'll know for sure whether or not youth is an excuse or an explanation for the current dreck on offense going forward, but Babushka is doing the youth no favors. He risks trashing their confidence by not making it easier for them to build on smaller successes, and is putting way too much pressure on the defense to bail him out. I firmly believe he has to go and could be Pete's downfall in the end. They really need an OC and position coaches, particularly at QB, who are capable of developing players and scheming to maximize the talent they have on hand, and I know, water is wet. Anyway, I've seen neither happen on offense over the past year and a half. Chest may be right, they may start to execute at a higher level and things may get better as they gain experience, but it doesn't look good for the offense right now.
On the flip side there has been real development of the defense and special teams while at the same time losing some serious talent to the NFL. Objectively, there is tangible progress being made in these areas despite taking serious hits in talent and experience. The team hasn't seen a good ole fashioned Sark style multi-stacked dry plungering yet. The team is showing real fight and playing to the end of the game. Tangible progress in team culture is being made and this may be the most important higher level objective.
To end this @Tequilla tl;dr poast, I really thought @HeretoBeatmyChest made some solid points. This is a total rebuilding year, progress is being made, there may be valid reasons for the dreck on offense, and in the end, it is reasonable to wait to see what happens in year three before going all Vlad the Impaler, but damn is it ever frustrating to be a Husky Fan. This shit seems never ending, a veritable cornucopia of dreck. They should beat Arizona this week, but I think it takes a brave soul to predict that, and that is telling.
