I come here to discuss BYU football, I have no illusions that that discussion will have a material impact on the team's fortunes.

The whining the last several days is just ridiculous

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

But if Tanner was just a better QB, imagine the possibilities!

I can't decide if this is a parody of an idiot post, or an actual idiot post.

Clark Addison

9/22/18 10:55pm

Either way

MaxxPower

Haha it was a joke

There are serious deficiencies, but if you aren’t enjoying this

Serious deficiencies?

GOR

9/22/18 10:41pm

QB and WR group are well below average. Trenches are very good and

WizeGuise

This is exactly what he meant.

BenTheBoss

9/22/18 10:44pm

And I agreed with him. We can be objective and still appreciate the overall

Oh sorry didn’t see your original post

Byus offense is exceeding expectations. One of the worst offenses in cfb

BYU '80

9/23/18 9:19am

I'd call it a serious deficiency if

GOR

9/22/18 10:49pm

I'd call it a serious deficiency that our offense couldn't move the ball for 3

russkiejedi

9/22/18 10:53pm

Agree to disagree. I feel like I've seen some good things. Time will tell.

GOR

9/22/18 10:57pm

I'm not saying we haven't "seen some good things." But I've seen nothing thus

russkiejedi

9/22/18 11:00pm

That's fair

GOR

9/22/18 11:05pm

We are all thrilled I think.

WizeGuise

9/22/18 11:01pm

I feel like it hasn't registered with a lot of people here that this is a run

I feel like some people are in denial about the fact that this offense is as

It is possible. But, BYU is winning, so whining about it doesn't do any good.

Yeah, it pumps up the base, players and increases viewership. In other words:

Let me rephrase that. Does coming on here and gushing about the good stuff

If BYU beats Washington, Kalani should get a bronze statue cast immediately and placed in the center of campus

Indy Coug

9/22/18 10:43pm

Nah. I predicted 2-2. 1-3 was overly dramatic.

spugeddy24

9/22/18 10:40pm

The FPI had BYU with a 20% or lower chance in each of their first three games

Indy Coug

9/22/18 10:41pm

Don’t care about the FPI. I make my own predictions.

spugeddy24

9/22/18 10:43pm

Yeah but you’re not as rational.

Indy Coug

9/22/18 10:44pm

But I was correct.

spugeddy24

9/22/18 10:45pm

Um. No you weren't

MaxxPower

9/22/18 10:48pm

I was correct that they wouldn’t start 1-3 like many thought.

spugeddy24

LOL, Love the righteous indignation.

He's right, though.

LiveCoug

9/22/18 10:42pm

I find the self-righteous lecturing just as unappealing as the whiners.

LEHI cougar

9/22/18 10:45pm

Do you have a counter argument or are you just offended?

che flaco

9/22/18 10:47pm

Where did I say I was offended? And I put my thoughts in the other above post

Good post

acougfan

9/22/18 10:43pm

Yup, even Blue googled fans were predicting 2-2 at best.

akmewg

9/22/18 10:43pm

Not whining, just being realistic.

a priori

9/22/18 10:43pm

Literally no one thinks we have it all figured out. Not even close.

LiveCoug

9/22/18 10:48pm

Sure--but do you think that the team has it figured out to the tune of a top 25

a priori

9/22/18 10:51pm

How about for the time being? That's really how the voting works. It's season

Ash

9/22/18 10:59pm

That's what I'm saying. I see two okay games, one huge dude, and one outlier.

a priori

9/22/18 11:01pm

Have you read the friggin' board??? No one really thinks so. Just enjoy it!!

Clark Addison

9/22/18 11:01pm

I am enjoying it.

a priori

9/22/18 11:02pm

I can only speak for myself. I don't honestly think we are, but am ecstatic that we are there

Clark Addison

9/22/18 11:09pm

Well, Indy still thinks that Crowton has if figured out and so I wouldn't be

I enjoyed the win more because it was completely unexpected.

If I was that negative and couldn't see any improvement from last year, I'd

It’s ok to have low expectations but if you can’t enjoy the ride along the way

Pretorian

The dline has improved, the dbs have imp, the RBs have improved, the o-line has improved, the kicking game has improved

We’re winning but I maintain our weakness is our QB’s limited game abilities.

I think putting last season in context is what makes it hard to complain about
