If a person held Dykes responsible for the defense and hiring Buh, the same applies to Wilcox and Baldwin.
It's entirely logical. Dykes' record was worse than Wilcox's to this point. That's why he was more disliked.
If Wilcox posts more losing seasons the same will happen to him.

I don't know why he ain't done **** to talk anything. He needs shut up and play ball.

and I think you'll see people getting upset with Wilcox this year. But Dykes' offense wasn't even that good - it would put up points after we were down 21. This way at least we are still in games. that's probably another reason. Feels more competitive even if results are similar (i'd argue they're not but i am biased i hated the dykes hire from day 1 so i'll admit that much).
To be fair, it was usually a 60-35 loss....

Well if true I like the kid even more. Work hard play hard
what purging a bad team. Was anybody citing that season during 2015?sycasey said:GBear4Life said:
Wilcox fanboyism is real. I think people hated Dykes so much they were glad to get someone who is simply grateful to be here.
Dykes made his own bed with that first season.
The stat sheet is surprisingly even. Only difference seems to be us not capitalising on our short field.

90 yards of offense in the first half. We will be better in the second half.

Because, Wilcox fields a unit that is consistently great: not just great against lower tier teams. Also, while Baldwin's O is never good, it isn't as bad as Dykes defenses (that were bad by a MASSIVE historical margin).
But honestly, it's mostly that we don't have to write off games against nthe top half of the conference before they are played because the Offense suddenly has no ability to score.
We can watch a Cal UW game knowing that it is very unlikely both side of the ball let us down completely. You couldn't say that with Dykes. When faced with above average defenses his offenses folded and he got blown apart.

It's called perspective. But again, the point is for TWO+ years now our offense has been every bit as bad as Buh's defense.
Silver lining - Chris Brown is legit. If Garbers can't get it going on first drive and Modster is available - probably worth seeing if he can be a gamer

I don't post much, and I understand the frustration with the offense. But rather than join the debate about who's at fault, I wanted to comment on a pretty amazing defensive half. Considering the wonderful field position Washington had, its amazing they scored only 10 points.
Now feel free to return to the debate about the horrible offense.

Has Garbers completed one downfield pass yet?
What happened to the simple down and out timing pass?
Or a simple button hook, he has time for that.

Both teams combined 1 of 13 on 3rd down conversions. Ball security and our D are keeping us in this one...
Wilcox is a much better coach than Dykes. Yes Dykes had an offense. He also had the #1 pick in the draft for 3 years and we were out many games. We should of kept Spavital and Peeler on Staff. Than we might of been a completely different team. Oh well does not matter now. Wilcox has this team in ballgames.
Any chance we have another QB starting the second half?
BB starts the possession after the turnover deep in Huskies territory with a pass play call. Cal's offense took less than a minute of the clock because of the penalties and then punted for 18 years giving the Fuskies another possession. BB is in love with the forward pass even when it's not working.
Stop it. If Wilcox accomplishes what Dykes did in his year 3 (8 wins and #1 QB) Wilcox will get a 22 year contract extension and about 13 years of equity with fans smh.sycasey said:GBear4Life said:That's not why.

Nobody was thinking about year 1 when Cal was top 25 and 5-0 in 2015

LoL. Not even close enough to be taken seriously.
Buh fielded some of the worst units in the history of the sport. And that is not hyperbole.
We are holding back Modster so Washington won't know if he's eligible.BearRaidNation said:

Yeah our D is as advertised. I'm just worried they're going to tire out by the end of the 3rd with all these 3 and outs on offense
May be on the staff for not recruiting online guys that can play in pac12 but not for lack of execution. Online is not p5 worhty
Not sure we're watching the same game. Cal has thrown 8 passes and had 18 runs.oskirules said:

Slightly edgy comment because someone pulled out a gun last week at a Popeye's for this exact reason.
The halftime show showing highlights with passing looks cool
Do not attempt a single pass the 2nd half. Effin offensive line penalties!
Thank God you heard it too. I thought Cal football had finally put me over the edge.TheSouseFamily said:
