    You just didn't have the players offensively. :p

    It's different when your damn offensive coordinator keeps costing you game after game, and your quarterbacks throw three interceptions in a half.

    I have a feeling Simms may start the 2nd half. It gives UW another look, and if Simms has success that solves two probs 1) fixes his psyche and 2) gives us back the momentum.

    The last UW drive (82 yards?) was a let down, but it was an exception in the 1st half. Our D is playing good not great.

    We have to do something about the turnovers though.

    I wouldn't mind Mack switching QB's per series.

    Officials spot Washington seven more on the Reggie Williams catch that wasn't.

    I hate to say it, but we're in trouble. Again.

    I feel like I'm watching the Houston Oilers.

    Outcoached? Yep. Unless something drastic happens, it doesn't look like we will finish in the top 10. All fingers point towards Mr. February.

    Mr. February isn't calling the plays.

    Imho, if Greg Davis goes out and attacks early like we did against CU, Texas races out to a huge lead and UW never gets the momentum.

    Instead, this looks like a replay of the CU game. Quarterback throws three picks in the first half. We get close in the second half, but only get three instead of seven. Down 13 with a little more than a quarter left. I think we all need to realize that the problem isn't Chris or Major, but Greg Davis. Like I said earlier, I'm not sure if any QB could perform in the plays we called for the first quarter in a half. That got us in a 13-0 hole. Guess how much we're downm now?

    I'll be stunned if GD is still here this time a month from now.

    BTW, I may be a fool for saying this, but I don't think we're out of it yet. We've been getting some openings down the field, and I still think Major has a lot left in him. If we could give the D a little rest maybe they can come up with a scheme to stop the TE.

    We can all agree changes need to be made, and if changes aren't made I don't care how good a recruiter Mack Brown is, he should get the pink slip.

    We are a 2 TD favorite getting a beat down. What a waste of talent.

    Mack said something like the Oregon loss was one of the best things to happen to this program.

    I wonder what excuse he will make for this game.

    There's still time left but changes still have to be made.

    How can you go for a field goal here? Is this like a script of the CU game? If so, we're gonna need a r****ded fake punt from UW to get back in it, and I can't see that happening.
