Pete’s Don James moment

Plenty has been said on here about James realizing he had to get with the times. It may be earlier in his Husky career, but this is Pete’s. Browning was recruited to run his old bullshit offense. That time is over and if we dont totally overhaul the offense this offseason the program is over.

He will always be in the hunt for the Pac 12 title because of how shitty the conference is... All the Major Programs must giggle when they see that they drew UW in a NY6 game... Pete has got smoked in 3 straight... Wonder what the record is for consecutive NY6 losses....
 
I'm still of the opinion that Browning is a huge limiting factor to the Offense's success bc of the inherent limitations he brings to the table. To use DDY's analogy of chefs and ingredients, there's only so much you can do to make a decent meal with rotten cabbage as the featured ingredient.

All that said, abandoning the run which seems to be a trend, is maddeningly fucking stupid. All the more so with a back as good as #MMFG.

I honestly can't tell anymore if it is limitations from players (noodlearm) or limitations due to overly complex nonsensical playbook and play calling, or some combo thereof. I think Pete has so overcomplicated all this shit that even he can't see his way back to unfuck it now.

Blow it up. You got a prototype NFL QB now. Play like it.

It's both a combination of talent and scheming. Talent is going to be upgraded over the next couple of years but will it matter if the scheme is still shit? That is what makes me nervous.

You guys are going to hate me but......................... Bush Hamden is good.

Do WR’s need to develop better? absolutely. Do we need to do a better job actively scheming Hunter Bryant & other playmakers into the offense? Yes. Was this Bush’s best game and are there things to harp on him for? Yes.

But I’m sorry. He’s not the problem. When you can’t have plays over ten yards, you’re not going to be very successful. Obviously there needs to be changes but Bush is way down on the list for me and I’ve crushed him a lot this year.

Hopefully Osborne and Spiker can contribute next year.

Too bad our WR suck
 
@Babushka 's OSU offense put up these numbers with a former walk-on, back-up, noodle-armed QB playing in Columbus against a Buckeye team that included Nick Bosa:

31 points (14 in the first half, zero in the 4th quarter)
392 yards (a perfect split of 196 rushing, 196 passing)
3 turnovers

If this isn't an indictment of Pete/Bush's offense, I don't know what more proof you need.

This is what I see. Teams can play to stop #MMFG and that's basically it. Nothing else needed to do from a DC's point of view. No deep ball, no ability to get screens out quick enough to open up the middle or attack the perimeter. Plus, we have an awful kicking game so teams can really play bend-don't-break and play to stop us in the red zone with little consequence. Stop Myles from getting to the second level and you'll basically keep our offense from scoring more than 21 points.

There is a huge doog part of me that thinks Pete kept them from getting any snaps to protect them for this year and keep as many WR’s with the scout team & 3-4 rep groups to build continuity with Eason.

How could you possibly know he is good? If you want to say LIPO for one year of another QB w/e... but good?

The QB play is fucking garbage
The WR play and recruiting is fucking garbage
The OL play is just ok
The RB play has been carried by Gaskin and no one looks ready to step up and recruiting has been mediocre
The TEs have been underutilized almost every game, lol recruiting
Gameday play calling and management has been poor
Development at basically every position on offense except for the OL has been poor

If this was the best scheme they could develop to work around Browning then they are fucking garbage at schemes and utilizing what they have
If this was the best development they could do with 4 years of browning then they fucking suck at developing what they have

They had 4 years to teach browning the scheme, change the scheme to fit browning, or find someone who could actually play the scheme... It didnt happen.

It blows my mind that people are using the fact that the coaches CHOSE to start browning for 4 years as an excuse for them not actually sucking.

Next people are going to excuse Sark for being a shitty coach because its not his fault he caught the alcoholism and showed up drunk to work.
 
I agree with this concept and all, but in every bowl loss we are repeating that "this is Pete's Don James moment".

Against Alabama, he "realized we needed better athletes to compete".
Against Penn St, we lost again. Then we would supposedly see a better OC with Smith gone, better recruiting, and against OSU it would be redemption.
Against Ohio St, we lost again.

Rinse and repeat.
 
Browning has his limitations, but we? have known about these for 4 years. Petersen deserves a lot of blame for not bringing in a QB that could elevate the QB play in that time span. Not being able to run plays farther than 10 yards downfield is surprisingly not great for an offense. Any time Gaskin was out our? offense looked like a high school offense. Any penalty or negative play essentially kills all hope for a drive. It is pathetic.

Our? special teams are an absolute joke. Can we? please find someone to return kicks and punts and do fire everyone that is "coaching" the coverage units.

Your not wrong but Browning might have been the glass ceiling. We’ll find out.
 
Here is how Maryland hung 50 on Ohio State throwing 13 passes
