Losing takes off the pressure

[haie]

This makes sense. UW is playing as if they have a margin of error, and Oregon is playing like every week is a playoff game. If UW is going to lose, they need to lose soon, because this sleepwalking shit can be systemic if it goes on too long.

Utah is really bad.

They're really not. I'd give my left nut to walk into Ecclesiastes and give them a 35-6 pantsing.

Jake Browning beat a better Utah there in 2018.

This year's sqwad isn't even a south division winning type of team. No stars. Slow footed defense. Shit offense.

Yeah I agree, they're not as good as 2018

They suck.

How many injuries do they have?

They’re catastrophic in numbers. It’s amazing they’re winning really.

well said, Urinals.

nearly everything you mentioned should be something that coaches can correct or at least minimize (bored, pressure, one dimensional offense, etc.). We are about to find out if both this team and this coaching staff is merely above average or truly great, IMO.

The other problem UW has, is that they are so damn one dimensional. They are so good at that, that you can’t stop it, but you sure can at least limit it. And with the holes they have on defense, if you just limit the damage, you can beat them.

100%. b/c our tackling, ability to stop run, create turnovers is so poor, teams are 3rd and short all game which allows them to convert at a higher rate and burn clock keeping Penix and Company off field.

By doing that, it forces Penix and the wr's to feel extra pressure to score even more than normal as their possessions are being limited. Add in limited consistent run game, and D that is average AT best against run and pass (and that is being generous imo) and if this offense can't get to 40 and/or get up by two scores it will be game on against teams in the Pac

It's looked like this since Q2 Arizona.

Oregon exposed Utah because SC is incompetent. That said, UW is looking like shit regardless of Oregon. They need to get their shit together. Just like entry in the Big 10, we need each other to get a team in the CFP.

Good clear-headed post the day after. All that makes sense.

On another topic, we learned very quickly not to wear shorts to a Mariners games back in the Kingdome days[/b].

what does this mean?!

they won 10-3. You can't compare the Huskies Defense in 2018 to this year.

Which is part of why UW looks like crap right now. They are undefeated and playing bad teams after receiving sustained, national media bj's for several weeks.

Looks like they are sleep-walking, expecting to dominate but not putting in the effort or focus to do that. Then making multitudes of shoot-yourself-in-the-foot turnovers and finding every way to NOT control the game.

They've won 15 games in a row and after Oregon are bored as fuck. They have an identity crisis, bored but also under pressure.

They also have a few glaring structural issues. The OL is not that great. The DL is not very good and the edges can't sack the QB or tackle.

Bottom line, this team is entirely dependent on Penix completing 70% of his passes, hitting a variety of long-distance NFL throws, and being very accurate.

They can't run against or defend a decent team unless Penix and the WR's are cooking. Period.

I don’t give a fuck about the pressure. We will play better. I truly believe that, but a loss over this to relieve pressure is crazy.

Why? They’ve lost players in every unit.

Oregon exceeded my expectation but I honestly thought this was a 31-17 game beforehand.

The Pig Farmer has a noodle arm, he has skill players that don’t stretch a defense, and their defense played a bunch of one-dimensional offenses that weren’t even elite at one thing save USC. I didn’t expect to whoop their asses in the trenches so badly.

I typically hold catastrophic for natural disasters and serious shit but whatever works for you.

Kingdome urinals. For those that remember, the urinals were constructed like huge long hog troughs. You'd get all these dudes in there squeezed together pissing out beer and... splashback happens. Ah, $3 tickets on the 300 level, and King beers for a dollar?

They won 21-7 **in Salt Lake City** before Utah's QB went down. And that Utah team still eliminated Oregon and made it to the P12CG.

Disagree.

Stanford sucks.

Every other team in the conference can beat you if you look past them.

I remember my 'Oregon is owning in October while UW looks shaky in October' phase.
