The bottom has yet to be hit. - gailtate - 11-14-2020

Just thought I would share that little observation.
Oh, is Bernard in attendance today?

A truly pathetic performance by the Cardinal so far. As far as I am concerned, Show should be "terminated" ASAP. Based on the first 6 quarters of Cardinal football this season, we are TERRIBLE. Our offensive scheme is UTTERLY UNIMAGINATIVE. We'd get our butts handed to us by Liberty and Cincinatti. Why should one be surprised with Pritchard and Shaw calling  the plays? This is hard to take for someone who used to enjoy Stanford football.

Unfortunately, I can't disagree with the Shaw Boo-birds here. A performance that is almost incredibly bad.

Dustin Johnson is doing to the Masters field what Colorado is doing to Stanford.

I want Phogge to call our plays on O from here on out. He'd be a lot better and unpredictable. Good to see you here, Phogge!

Thank God I’m here and not John Rahm’s caddie tonight.

I think you mean Jon Rahm's soon-to-be-former caddie...

Then again, his caddie didn't thin a hybrid into the crap on the left on #8...

Question: does Stanford actually have a D on the field or is it strictly virtual?

We gave up 405 yards in 3 quarters (while gaining 265). So, on track for giving up about 500+ yards this game! Yikes! UNBELIEVABLE FAILURE to pick up 2 yards in 3 plays to keep drive going at midfield. 3 passes! Ghastly.

Nice rally in Q4, but too little too late.

Rally would have been much more effective if the last scoring drive had been run as a 2-minute offense and not a 4-minute offense. How the hell Shaw had them huddling up is beyond belief god awful coaching

Stanford's efense  is allowing 68% 3rd down conversions.

Even if Mills was playing like Elway or Luck, no way you can win games when you can't stop anybody.

It's so long passed time to cashier both coordinators.

Defense has no talent. Offense does have talent (correcting myself a bit on a response to you yesterday).  Defense can’t play straight up and stop anyone.  So time to get aggressive.  Blitz a ton, take risks.  It might also make them more aggressive.

Offensively, turn it over Mills and the receivers.  That’s the strength of the team. Only way this team can win is to score 40 and hope it’s enough.  Which means completely changing philosophy two games into a season.  It won’t happen.

I am not so sure of that. Shaw has shown that he will go to a more aggressive offense when his defense is no good (unfortunately too often the case). It takes a few games to convince him though, and in a 6/7 game season, that's too long.
