WSU vs SDSU game thread

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

It was a good effort in the comeback, but I've lost faith in Arbuckle overall. I don't know if it's him or Dickert making aggressive calls when they don't make sense....and then being predictable at other times, but it's frustrating to see the coaches make bad decisions that keep games closer than they should be. And if I can guess that a QB run is coming 3/4 of the time.....coaches that are paid to recognize that shit are definitely keying in on it.

Depending on how this season finishes out, I think that there should be some real soul searching in the OC department. Arbuckle obviously has some good moments but this team feels like it's underperforming on offense overall.

Of course, defensively, I don't even know what to say. We can't seem to play defense at all until we are sitting there with our feet on the goal line and then we suddenly have a Top 25 defense. It's frickin' bonkers.

We should still finish 11-1 and no matter the competition, that's still great....but this game should stop the CFP talk. My hope is that we end up #10 after a nice non-CFP bowl win....even if I know that we don't really have a Top 10 team.

Pretty much what I said/feel in the other thread. This team will get destroyed in a playoff scenario - who wants to see that? But Im just a nega Coug wishing failure on the team...

Dickert was literally smiling at John when he said that. There is a photo from Cougfan during that exchange and he’s laughing. Seems like they were joking around. Then Dickert gets some injury news from Tingstad.

Dickert was certainly not smiling at Mateer on the play where he slide and just barely got the first down after the review and the dramatic measurement.

It would be nice to have the roster intact for the postseason though.

I mean, yes. But what can be done about it? Honestly I don't even give that consideration because it still is so wild to me to have kids quit on their teams.

Maybe NIL can help with that, either by stipulation or by circumstance.

Well yeah, that’s what he was joking about seemingly. I would imagine they have a pretty decent relationship.

Somehow I think I’ll be able to suppress the outrage and embarrassment if WSU does make the playoff.

You want to see a team undisciplined, unfocused, and just plain sloppy watch the Seahawks today. These guys actually get paid millions of dollars to look this bad.

I've been calling them The Sea-Losers for the past 30 years. True. Except for the two Superbowl years, they are always AVERAGE, and Mediocre.

I am a closet Sea-Loser. Plus, I'm not an NFL guy.

And the Chiefs are playing down to their opponents again!! Worst 7-0 team of all time!! Fire everyone!!!

Except it isn't true. With Holmgren era and the Carroll era, they have been one of the better teams in the NFC for a long time. They have also made the Superbowl three times in the last 30 years.

Today they were Sea-Losers.

What a disaster.

I thought that they may get blown out today. Unfortunately, I was right. I was offered to buy a ticket to attend today's game. I am glad that I didn't.

You could have donned a bills jersey and fit right in at the 100 level.

This business of selling tickets to visiting fans is gross.

I think you’re going to see more and more of this. As ticket prices get more insane, you’ll have more of the fan who can afford to travel be perfectly fine dropping $500 per ticket.

Honestly doesn’t bother me a bit. As long as people behave and aren’t trying to fight (sometimes they dont). There are several NFL venues where home field doesn’t exist any more. Vegas, Los Angeles, Arizona, etc. two solutions for those places…don’t out price your local fans and put a better product on the field.

Its a disservice to the actual fan base. There are SEC programs that will pull your tickets if you get caught doing this.

There are plenty of Seattle fans that would buy those seats and attend, but Jody Allen only cares about being profitable as is evidenced by how the two teams she owns has made zero REAL effort to field a winning team. Trailblazer fans certainly deserve better than the absolute dumpster fire she has given them the past 4 years. Oh, and the Moda center lower bowl was filled with Warriors fans on opening day - shocker.
