Oddsmakers should not get credit for this, this is our own idiocy. Also Catalonia should have the right to vote for their own ******* independence

Man I can't stand listening to these commentators
You aren't kidding.

83% of the broadcast has been about Darnold.

UNBEARABLE.

Why are we still playing Bowers ???
Because we have an investment in him and he's still learning
You mean learning to throw interceptions ???

He's passed the course.

5 turnovers for Bowers.
The first pick was tipped, not his fault. The fumbles were costly, but a lot of QB's are going to fumble if hit in those situations. The last two picks, that's him trying to make something out of nothing and being mentally weak. He'll have to learn from this.

You act like there's nobody else on the team. Like an OL which is supposed to protect him but hasn't.
My bad, horrible throw by the RT on that last play.

Beau did not adjust to their defense. I did not see multiple.

Seems like he is making very bad decisions. I do t think time has been a big issue. Throws a perfect dart, then a lob ball. The guy who just had a personal foul should sit. Terrible decision!

Glad to see the defense still fighting though.

Bowers has zero bearing. Kind of reminds me of Rodgers vs OSU. This will hopefully teach him some. Some of the worst QB play I have ever seen. Amazing, really.

I thought we would lose in the air, not wit endless comically bad turnovers.

Again, you act like there's nobody else on the team. But congratulations for knowing that the QB throws the football.

Bottom line here: the Cal turnaround will not happen as fast as we hoped it would after the first 3 games. It's a multi-year project, if it happens at all.
This is ridiculously pessimistic based on what we have seen so far.

Coaches panicked in this game. Bowers needs to learn to step forward in the pocket and make plays with his legs from time to time.

We will get he ball back will we see a new qb?

Do you sit Bowers to prevent lessening his confidence?

Bowers and the Bears have lost it. It's a good learning experience for Wilcox and the team but it's clear they've got a lot of problems.

We saw signs of this every week and it came home to roost today. In the long term this loss is good. The team and coaches needed the loss to learn from their mistakes.

The team knows it can hang with anyone but they can only do it if they play focused and mistake-free ball. That's good. They have some confidence while dealing with the consequences of a self-inflicted beatdown.

This wasn't a game Cal needed to win for a bowl. They are still on track for 6-7 wins. In many respects painful losses like this are more valuable for building a program than having everything work out right on the first go.

Bears can pick things up and beat Oregon next week. They certainly have what it takes to beat a team like Oregon, but they need to play a lot better to do it.

4-0 including 3 upsets and 1 against a ranked team or we suck...

Yeah, kind of an absurd stance.

Bowers has to take what the D gives him.

We need a stud QB. Bowers could evolve into one, but he needs a lot more maturing.

Can bowers recover if he throws another pick?

No, you force him to work through it. like when Rodgers was garbage vs OSU, then became one of the best ever...

Sometimes you have to get ****ed up to gain focus.

i'm worried if our starting quarterback always looks like he's heaving a sack of potatoes. This is a problem

There was a lot of grass in front of bowers tuck it and run

Frankly, I think the story is the OL not giving Bowers much time or space and our playcalling not emphasizing quick enough passes.

Run the ball

The tsunami of hyperbole about Darnold is completely unreal.

This telecast may be the worst I have ever seen/heard.

I see everyone still hopes we become a Pac-12 contender instantly under Wilcox. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

We will definitely get better with him in charge, but it's going to be one step forward and two steps back. And will need us to step recruiting, which is the thing that takes the longest. Back in the JT era, we could say "we have talent, we're just not using it". Can you honestly say that now?

This team needs to find a way to take pressure off of Bowers. He is not the kind of talent that can overcome a deficit in the second half, especially without a stud receiver. As a game manager and occasional play extender he should be fine leading us to a mid Pac12 finish. And that is fine outcome for the state of the program.

Given the 5 turnovers our defense played really well. Formula for the rest of the year needs to be run run run, force turnovers on D. And recruit a QB with a D1 arm that will compliment our vastly improved defense next season.

Yes. He is a decent college quarterback I don't see him doing anything in the NFL
