Hard to see EWU going deep in the playoffs with this defense.
Sad part is an "average" defense would make this a fantastic season.

MSU just squeaked out a win against the team ISU trucked last week with a last minute TD with 5 seconds left in the game.
In both FCS and FBS, there were a lot of close games and crazy losses. Whereas last week was very lackluster in the FCS top 25, this week was chaos!

Yeah, lets pump the brakes here. ISU has a playoff caliber offense; we won't see an offense that good until maybe the quarters or semis. If that team has an average or better defense, we will lose. But lots of games to be played before then, and we will get some players back. Everyone left on our regular season schedule either has a terrible to average offense, and most also have a terrible defense, which means we will boat race them. Only Montana and UND have a good defense, but both also have terrible offenses. I still think we finish 11-1 and get the #2 seed.

There is no doubt Idaho State is the real deal and should have a great shot at anyone they play from here on out. But we'll see better offenses in the playoffs and will need to have some answers other than just getting mowed.
The good news is that no one we play from now until the end of the regular season has an offense like Montana State or Idaho State. The bad news is that it doesn't look like a team needs much of an offense to score a lot on us.

That said, at least we didn't suffer this fate today:WSU stops themselves again from the 4 with over a minute... sad doesn't sum it up

You go ahead and lower yours. I'm keeping mine right where it is.
Yeah, the defense can't find its way yet, but I don't see the coaches and players giving up on fixing it. In the meantime, we have likely the best offense in the FCS, certainly the Big Sky. That obviously wins games, maybe enough to buy the D the time it needs to square itself away for a deep run. BSC championship? FCS championship? Don't' know... But at least I'm staying on the wagon for the ride.
Haters, see you next season. Feel free to come back next year and and start your bitching all over again about whatever ails you. You remember... Just like when you bailed during 2010.

I don't know, maybe after this season we need a few good old fashioned losing seasons. This fan base is getting way too greedy. Quit being afraid to have some damn faith in your team and if they let you down... so what? You will survive. Support your team like a real Eagle.

Just so there's no confusion when RockTheRed said he agreed with me...this is what I said.
"Need not get to overly excited about any forthcoming QB change. BLM is our QB this season and it's up to Baldwin to "right the ship" which is more than QB play. Lotta games left in the BSC to play and we need 7 DI wins...per usual we'll prolly have to run the table here soon to get into the playoffs..nothing new."

For a fan base, expecting an 11-1 season was high but certainly reasonable. However, expecting us to waltz through the schedule was not reasonable. Our pre season #1 ranking I think made people (fans) think we were going to blow everyone out. Winning is what's important and I'm glad our coaches and players didn't have the expectation that they were going to breeze through the schedule. Keep in mind that, with the exception of UW, playing us this season is circled on every other team's calendar as their super bowl. We get the best of very good teams. It's best if us fans leave the X's and O's to the coaching staff and players who haven't lost a BSC game for two years. I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing. They're fun to watch so enjoy the ride and embrace the fact that you're getting your money's worth on the ticket price and other donations you have made.
