  1. Yep. I think coaches in all sports at all levels out think themselves too often. Instead of just doing what works over and over until the opponent proves they can counter, they try and think 2 steps ahead and do something different because they think the odds of doing the same thing over and over successfully is low. We were gashing washington all night. Wish we stuck with that more and controlled the clock and wore down their defense. It reminded me of a Jason Garrett type gameplan where you become pass happy too quickly. We were never more than 1 score down in the 1st half.
  2. As I saw a few mention, I think Sark went for the quantity over quality in the last 4 plays. We had 15 seconds left and we had about 4 plays if they were run very quickly. This means the QB needs to get rid of it almost instantly against a defense that already knows the exact perimeter to defend. They know we can't run behind them. They know we can't run the ball at all. I get wanting to maximize your shots at the endzone but you have to make those plays count. The 1st down call was horrendous and I had a sinking feeling after that play. There was zero upside with that play. We were too far away for a score. Could have been tackled in bounds and game over. I would have liked to see some roll outs and 2 legit shots at the endzone rather than 4 hurried plays, where 3 had zero shot to do anything. 1st down was a screen behind the line. 2dn down the ball was thrown way out of reach. 3rd down was a desperation by Quinn just to get rid of the ball. Our 4th down play was the actual only play out of 4 that even came close and even that ball wasn't thrown great and gave us no real shot. Just a kick in the nuts to end that game. Let's flip the sides and say Washington has the ball in that same exact situation needing a TD. I would expect much better plays and execution.
  3. I think Ewers picked the worst time to have his poorest game of the season.
  4. It was hard to blame PK for this game. Penix went 2019 Burrow vs OU on us. Throwing lasers all night. Washington had zero drops. Dropping dimes on passes 40-50yds in the air. Wish we brought a little more pressure but we never got home on any of them so Penix might have gotten more big plays. One of my beefs was playing way too soft on some of these plays. Allowing Washington easy pitch and catches to get a very short 3rd or 4th down. In the 2nd half on their first drive, I think they immediately got into a 2nd a 8. We play way off, like more than 10 yards cushion. They get an easy gain to make the 3rd down too easy to pick it up.
  5. Agreed. The play where we stopped them well short of the sticks on that pass on 3rd down. Gave them the 1st until Sark came out and told them to fuck off and they looked at. And then when we stopped them on the run on 3rd and 1, they gave them a real generous spot and the 4th down play became shorter. Not to mention got another generous spot on the 4th down play and came out and measured.
  6. Why didn't we go for it on 4th and 5 in the 3rd qtr? I believe the score was 31-21. Our defense had shown absolutely nothing that it could get stops. You can say it was just Penix going 2019 Burrow vs OU and his WRs playing out their minds. Be that as it may, we had no shot slowing them down. They could score no matter where the drive started. This was at a point in the game where possessions were going to become very limited. We had already gave up a TD drive and a FG to start the 3rd qtr. I trust the offense to gain 5 yards vs the defense making any play. We punted and they took more time off clock with a long drive that did stall but they got another 3.
  7. And Bo Nix still sucks when it matters most against good teams. But hey, he looked good against Liberty today.
  8. Yep I don't get how coaches get too cute and go away from that works. We get a big run on the first drive. Don't think we ran another one. Ewers starts 0 for 5. Washington was begging us to run it all over them and set the tone but Sark didn't. Fucking maddening to say the least.
  9. What in the holy fuck was that 1st down call???
  10. Absolutely with this little time. This isn't 2001 Colorado with much more time
  11. Yeah what the fuck was that about? Being down 7 and 6 is no different right now. You coach with how the game is unfolding. You need to at least give your shit defense a cushion where a FG still has it at one possession
  12. Why punt? I trust our offense to get 5 yards than stop their offense
  13. It's easy 0 to 0 for them. Our defense has absolutely zero answer. Unless we keep scoring a TD every single drive, we get buried
  14. So Washington only penalty was a free cheap shot at Ewers that cost them, what 3 yards?
  15. Refs aren't going to magically stop calling the game they are.
  16. This game is about over. Worst thing to happen. They get the ball to start the 2nd half.
  17. Blatant fucking hold and illegal pass. Go fucking die refs
