Does anyone else feel that the rest of our game are just as winnable as the ones we have already played?
Boise is most definitely beatable without their qb and their not quite the monster they usually are, heck they lost to YBU.
Utah St is nowhere near the juggernaut everyone thought they were, and their defense definitely has holes, and Love is playing nowhere near the level of last year.
CSU, their record and losses speak for themselves, they just aren't very good.
Air Force, we just know how to play them, rarely does it get out of hand. And I feel it will be a defensive sluggfest, and a very quick game. Honestly this is the scariest remaining game we have in my opinion.
Looking ahead....

Every game is winnable just as every game is losable. This is a tough 4 game stretch however you slice it going on the road to Boise, Logan and the Springs and the Border War.
To look at this from a reasonable perspective 2-2 would be a success. That said, let’s go 4-0 and avenge the SDSU loss in the MWC championship game.

None of the last four games is remotely close to New Mexico or Nevada.Does anyone else feel that the rest of our game are just as winnable as the ones we have already played?
Both NM and Nev are teams in disarray. From here on out we won't see anything
like them.
and...UW always does the poke choke on the road.

Each game is winnable!
AF is good, but we will play them tough
Boise is not unbeatable.
CSU is not bad, but you can bet we’ll show up for that one.
USU looked like crap last night and their offense is sputtering

SDSU is ranked now... kind of crazy that if we had pulled that one out, it likely would've been us being ranked instead.
That said, it's nice to be heading into November knowing we still COULD finish the season ranked.
Just need to win out

Won't be easy. The howdy doodies are as solid as ever, USU will be a pain, and though BSU has vulnerabilities, they are always hard to play against, especially in Boise. The sheep can do damage against teams like Fresno, and considering out secondary, our DBs will need to step up.Asmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 5:01 pm SDSU is ranked now... kind of crazy that if we had pulled that one out, it likely would've been us being ranked instead.

6-2, bowl eligible before reaching November. Pokes should be plenty confident.
Concerns: lack of clarity on Chambers' injury, 1-2 on the road, and that one win wasn't flattering vs. now 2-5 Texas St. (three of last four are on the road).
I said 8-4 before the season, and I'll stick around there with 9-3 certainly a potential likelihood.

I don't feel super confident about any of the remaining games. CSU is our most winnable game, but they are a rival, and you never know. That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if we win three of the four.

I'm feeling great looking back....not so great looking ahead. Maybe it's my "sky is falling" impulse that comes really easily to me as a poke fan (sarcasm). I don't see us winning the road games ahead of us. I have not seen anything yet that makes me think we can play well on the road. Ironically our road loss to SDSU looks pretty good right now....That SDSU qb played out of his mind that game and Wyoming wins that one if he doesn't.

We beat Missouri so I think that if we played well we can beat anybody left on our schedule. Having said that, we are just not good enough to win 3 out of the four without some turnovers and even some defensive points. This is mainly because our offensive scheme is predictable and poor for the most part. I don't think we have played our best game either. My guess is that we go 1-3. I do believe that Utah State is a great possibility to knock off if we play our best. This is my gut feeling and I hope that I am totally wrong about it lol....
I can see the next 4 going either way. 3 tough roadies and a rivalry at home.
I'm going to plant myself firmly on the fence at 2-2.

My guess...we're either end up going...
3-1 with only loss at Smurf Central
OR
1-3 with the only win being against Fort Fart!!!!
Take your pick, guys.

I'm in this exact same boat, however I do see 2-2 playing out as well.
We beat both Aggie schools and lose to the falcons and Smurfs.
I also wouldn't be shocked (yes I would and love it) if we finished our 4-0

Something to consider, guys, should HEAVEN FORBID we end up winning all 4 remaining games...we'll need someone else to beat San Diego State in order for Wyoming to host the 2019 MWC Championship game. SDSU has the first tiebreaker over us...they beat us already.

Good call that is true, off the top of my head I don't know their remaining schedule enough to know who could, other than their playing some close games and could realistically lose to anyone. UNLV was even close.Wyokie wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 10:39 pm Something to consider, guys, should HEAVEN FORBID we end up winning all 4 remaining games...we'll need someone else to beat San Diego State in order for Wyoming to host the 2019 MWC Championship game.

2 keys. How much pressure can the d front generate and how efficient can the passing game get? If those two things are good, POKES have the horses to run with anyone left on the schedule. If not, there will be a few tough games with 1 or 2 getting away from us.

I don't foresee us letting a game get away, they will all be close losses. (Assuming we don't win). Were built to not be blown out at this point. That's why we play close games without our normal breaks.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 7:03 am 2 keys. How much pressure can the d front generate and how efficient can the passing game get?

One game at a time and maintain our focus. We'll be fine.
