The thing the casuabears will never understand is…

It's not lack of talent (look at our nfl pedigree); it's not admissions standards dissuading recruits (he offered 1 olineman at most per cycle for the majority of his tenure despite always having a weak oline and then claims nobody wanted to come…uh yeah when you only offer 1 olineman and none the next that's what happens); it's not a lack of fans; it's not a lack of nil…

It's a stubborn unoriginal maga bro from Idaho who thinks the prevent he stole from bob Gregory 2 decades ago is how you win football games.

Wilmoe refusing to apply pressure in close games and drop into predictable zone is such an easy fix yet he refuses to change.
We need an intervention.
At least when Tedford would punt down 42 against sc with 10 minutes to play it led to his dismissal. This is a broken record that never seems to end.
If the end is relegation whatever. Just make it end quicker.
For anyone with a decent understanding of playcalling and clock management this is hell on earth.


I don't give a damn about Wilcox's politics. He is a horrible coach, and I want him GONE!

wilcox, in my 9 years of watching, only puts together 1 great game every 2 years where the offense, defense and special teams click all at the same time


otherwise we have a good defensive game but score 9 points against florida state. or we have a decent offense but lose a shootout. he just cant coach

He should have been fired after that loss to a previously winless Colorado several years ago.

At least that is one good defensive play.

What we have to do because we don't have a kicker that can put the ball in the endzone

Duke is more talented at just about every position.

Oh yes, Cal having to compromise because they can't achieve the basics.

And this is Duke football, that is telling. Other than JKS, Masses, and Mini, it gets real bare really quick.

A lot of people left at halftime.

I think it is a bit premature for the announcer to declare Duke could have put the game out of reach in its first offensive sequence of the second half (I know, not for negabears).

to really hammer home that there's no phase of the game where we clear the lowest possible bar for competence

17 points in the second half, is a steep hurdle.

when has Cal ever been able to block on bubble screens?

OK that was 100% on JKS

Either JKS is having problems with his footing or he made a bad read

Game's over, team can't maintain momentum and morale collapses way too quickly

pingpong2 said:

JKS is gone. Why would he want to spend two more seasons playing for JW? Even if we get him better receivers and a better line, he's still going to be held back by the HC.

There's very little upside for him. He's not going to get the exposure, he's not going to get the stats, and he's not going to get the wins and titles.

Why would anyone believe Cal is going to get a good line under Wilcox? How many years has it been, and when has Cal had a 'good' Oline?
Tonight we cannot really drag the offense just yet, Wilcox's side of the ball is where the issues are present


Both sides of the ball are Wilcox's, unfortunately.

When we opened the Dykes era versus Northwestern, we finally had a working screen game which I had not seen for about 5 seasons prior

This is the most mentally soft team I have seen since FSU last year. And Cal lost to FSU last year...

I saw what he was going for, but the throw didn't go high enough over the defender. Could have been completed if he went higher with it.

Gonna need TD's every time.

Wilcox doesn't like double digit leads.

Called this with Cal up 21-7.

Wilcox is gonna Wilcox.

we grabbed momentum w a 3 and out and then threw it away

Yup, but even if the defender wasn't there, I think the pass was short.
