    Ducks in Disarray Again?

    I hate to say it but the Ducks are becoming well known for pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. Between TCU, Stanford (2018, 2021), Oregon State (2020, 2022), Auburn (2019), and this year’s Washington game Oregon has failed to put teams away when they were clearly the more dominant team. 

    I really feel we are becoming more well known for losing a game or two each year to a team we should have beaten.

     

    it feels like every year we drop one or two to a team that is inferior (either roster or W/L record) that we had no business losing to.

     

    Great Teams win the games they are supposed to.  Oregon is not a Great Team yet.

    We've Gone From Risk Adverse Mario To Lanning's High-Wire Act Without A Net

    It appeared to me that JS and the Beavers just wanted it more.  Their offense out played our offense in the end.

     

    The Ducks may have won the middle 8, but the Beavers took it to us in the last 12.

     

    I am bummed, but not blaming it on the coaches, the defense, special teams, or offense.  As much as it was a team loss, it was a team win for the Beavs.

     

    For me, losing to the dawgs and the beavers by 3 points each was sickening, and getting blown out by the DAWGS was hard to take, but I am not ready to call for new coaches

     

    I think DL got schooled this year, by KS, KdB, and JS.  But, at the end of the season, I can live with 9-3 and a Bowl game in his first year.

    Oregon Ducks Football: New Rivalry Game Name

    Thank you Alex, for sharing!

     

    I don’t know about you good folk, but I am sick to death of the pc, woke, inoffensive, and hyper-sensitive BS that is trying to take over our language and our lives.  


    I still call this game the Civil War, and everybody knows what I am talking about and NOBODY takes offense.

     

    I am fine with adding a hyphen and calling it the Civil-War, but that is it.  It is what it is, and what it is is a civil war between the preeminent football teams in the state of Oregon.

     

    It has (and never has had) NOTHING to do with slavery, the war between the states, the union, or the confederacy.

     

    The over-educated individuals who started this hoo-haw should be ashamed of themselves.

    Oregon Football: Let’s Pump the Brakes on Trick Plays

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted · Edited by PittDuck

    I too was devastated with the botched flip/scoop and score.  I felt it was the wrong play, at the wrong time.  Follow that up with some  3 and outs or 4 and outs, while letting Utah run roughshod, made for a pretty lousy third quarter for OBD (and this fan).

     

    However, I read the comments yesterday from the outgoing seniors, and the thing that struck me was how many of them said things like “football is fun again” or “this year was the most fun they have had playing football.”

     

    I remember (50 years ago) trick plays being a blast to run, even when they bombed, but especially when they succeeded!

     

    Maybe, just maybe, trick plays bring something to a team’s psyche, and they do have a place…

     

    Either way, I don’t think I have the football chops to second guess either DL or KD.  IMHO they have earned the right to call whatever play or plays they see fit. 
     

    Go Ducks, win the next three!

    The Head Coach is Brilliant...When?

    Spot on.  We applaud brilliancy when it works, but cry lunacy when it fails.

     

    Any loss hurts, but a loss to the purple curs is just worse.  There were a lot of little things that took down OBD last night, and they were mostly self inflicted.  It happens, sometimes the better team comes up short on the scoreboard.

     

    We still control our own Destiny.  Win out, and OBD are Rose Bowl Champions, which is far better than the #4 seed that becomes cannon fodder for Georgia.
