At least rosen was proved wrong.  There is now a minus 1 million percent chance we see ucla again

No it's my fault.  I was wearing a purple Alzheimer's Walk T shirt all day.  Duh.

On the positive side... - Mick - 09-30-2016

The San Francisco Giants are ahead 9-3.  Their bats are clearly waking up.

I tuned in just after the Stanford drubbing when it was 3-2 LA. It quickly became 9-3 Giants and my spirits were certainly lifted.

Me too, and if UW were to represent the conference in the playoffs, I'd feel better about a Chris Petersen coached team than one coached by Helfrich or Mora.

Re: Stanford vs. Washington Game Thread - winflop - 10-01-2016

Oy vay, where to start:
1. Coaching.  This team was mentally and physically unprepared.  That is on the coaches.
2. OL, especially LT/RT.  The Hall-Tucker switch either needed to happen at the beginning of camp or not at all.  It's been a massive failure two games in a row.  Put them back where they were.
3. DL.  ZERO pressure on Browning until the game was way out of reach.

But hat's off to Chris Petersen and the Huskies.  Even if our boys had been ready, and Hall & Tucker were on opposite sides, and there was pressure on Browning I don't think we would have won last night.  They had more talent and they played their hearts out.  But the score would have been respectable.  That is a legit playoff team.

If Mike Leach weren't the head coach I'd almost feel sorry for the Cougs.  But since he is, I have no pity.  I hope we hang 50 on them.  11-1 is still very realistic.  We will not face a team anywhere near that good again this season, even if we go to Pasadena again.

Exactly what would you have coach Shaw say after this loss?

BC
I would like to hear him admit the failure is not all on lack of execution by the players.  Coaching was not able to adjust, obviously.

The thing is, what could the coaches do? Basically nothing they tried was working because the OL couldn't block worth a damn. Sure, maybe some of those NFL-style short pass patterns with one pre-snap read and the ball is out in <2 seconds, but I'm not sure Burns or Chryst could actually execute that, even if we had it installed. But short of that there's nothing you can do when the OL doesn't give you time.

The only plus side of this game is that the next few are against teams with a lot less to play for than UW. If we can regroup (and I think we can) then most of this season's goals are still achievable (in theory, anyway...).
