Just Ducky

The pack should cancel all games with both schools and let them wallow around trying to fill a schedule with the the likes of Rising slow state and mid evil college. Of coarse weight till about a month before the season starts.

Yes my wife ( beaver fan ) and I watched the fourth qtr of the Civil War game and there were many problems with the D. The most glaring was how our linebackers were playing on their heels instead of attacking the run gaps giving up chunks of yardage along with horrible tackling, bad combination. Between that, poor play calling, special teams disasters, inability to pick up that critical 4th down, and Bo missing a wide open Fergy for a potential scoring play by throwing it short. It was clear that the Ducks were about to lose. Hard to pick one reason they lost the game when there was many reasons.

It’s easy to understand why our D was so weak. Check out the stats. Our leading tackler was a safety Williams with nearly twice as many tackles as number 2 Noah. Our DBs were getting way too many tackles compared to our front seven. Adding to the problem was opposing QBs had way to much time to throw the ball because of our lack of consistent pressure. DBs can’t cover wide receivers with lots of time to clear even though we had one of the best in the pack. I believe that once DL gets more speed on his edge players and linebackers that can disrupt intermediate routes things will change dramatically.

I thought the ladies had it but it slipped away. Too much depth In Louisville’s front line. Great season Congratulations to our lady Ducks.

Lots of good points here. I feel sorry for the coaches having to broaden their focus on two different elements like never before. Although I think less research is required on portal players because the track record is already there for the upper class kids. I was expecting this to smooth out a little when the Covid players are gone and also the first time transfer numbers trend downward because of the second time rule. The coaches that get it correct the first time will be the most successful in my mind.

Big difference Williams no class Mariota all class.

Don’t see any front seven players listed. That is they area of need in my mind.

Simple for me, win the games your supposed to win and be competitive in the ones your not. So I guess this year can be quantified as a disappointment. Although I like the trajectory. Beating Utah was the bright spot for me this year. Two good teams with injured QBs that played their guts out.

I too read 300 but who really has the accurate number. It is a large on either way with more to come.

I think Dye was the best linebacker the Ducks have had in quite some time. Even with a busted hand.

Our Ducks won’t look anything like they will next spring so I guess I won’t stress over it till then.

I agree. The ducks would move the ball down the field with a nice flow and when they got into the red zone Dilly would try to get tricky or change the play causing the offensive line to false start and kill or slow the drive. Maybe this guy will do better at that.

One thing is for sure, Prime Time was one hell of an athlete with the head the size of a basketball. Can he win as a head coach in big boy football has yet to be answered. Colorado definitely needs a shake up but this is a stubborn fan base which may be tough to convince. One thing is for sure, things are a changing in the pack and rather quickly. Question is can we as fans keep up.

Thanks Ducks 72. Many things to be thankful for. I’m still kicking My family is pretty healthy My granddaughter got excepted to OS😬 I finally have a grandson at 74, took a while. I get to look out my picture window at the Clackamas River every morning. The Pack 12 looks like it might survive. We have Mr Knight The Ducks are competitive in all sports. Life is good.🥳 Happy Holidays everyone!!!

We can take that one for sure.

Congrats to Colorado. This should help them recruit some skill position guys which has been a big problem lately. The pack just took another step forward.

At the start of the season most of us would have taken 9 wins as a good season not a failure. Once we all saw Bo play we definitely thought we could make the rose bowl and if Bo doesn’t get hobbled we would be in the college football playoff maybe ranked #3. Granted we lost a couple games to our rivals and that caused most of us to scream at the television several times, especially me. To call the season a flop is more than inaccurate. We will soon see how the players respond to this coach and his staff when we play in our bowl game whatever it might be. If the boys show up and give it their best effort then we will know what kind of coach and players we actually have. Go 🦆🦆🦆s

Maybe Bo is having the time of his life with DL. Why be in a big hurry to face NFL defenses. With a good nil deal, a insurance plan, and a stud coming in to mentor might be appealing to him. Maybe his wife likes it here, who really knows.

I can’t accept a team that takes a week off while playing teams with no chance to win while Other teams are playing ranked opponents unless they are undefeated. The SEC has been getting away with this travesty for years and it needs to stop. Alabama has lost 2 games and didn’t play in their conference championship. They don’t belong.

One thing is for sure TCU has a stud for a QB.

These two are great college backs. But the NFL linebackers will have no problem with either of them.

The transfer portal gets an A+

I thought before the season started that are pass rush was going to come from our linebackers. Flowe in particular. Boy was I wrong. I never did think we were going to get much pressure from our lineman against good offensive lines. Until we get those 2 areas fixed our DBs will continue to get exposed. Still can’t wrap my head around the horrible run defense against the rodents in the 4th quarter. Cost us a shot at the trojans and a rose bowl bid.

I kept trying to see the brilliance of Dilly and towards the end he got our QB injured and called plays we all knew were coming. I’m definitely not on the Dilly band wagon. Not enough history to call him a great offensive genius. We will see.

Men against boys.
