“The Ducks have basically been the work-from-home guy who was told he had to start going into the office again,” Hale wrote. “They show up, swipe their badge, grab a coffee, say hello to Denise in accounts receivable, Dillon Gabriel throws a couple touchdowns, then they're home in time for ‘The View.’” There is always some clickbait wag that throws this garbage against a wall to see if it will stick. It gets us fans riled up a bit but is meaningless background noise to the team. "Who cares, right?" Lanning said. "It didn’t matter before. It doesn’t matter now. I remember early in the season when everybody was telling us how crappy we were after our first two games. We don’t care what anybody else thinks." And who the he!! watches "The View" anyway?

Not the prettiest of games but it was a high scoring affair at Mile High against Famous Jameis and the Browns, 41-32 Broncos. Exciting as they get. All it lacked was a seafood bar with crab legs. Winston goes 34/58 and 497 yds and Jeudy gets 235 yds of receptions against his old team, but Jameis throws two pick sixes. Bo, Sutton and the Bronco defense did just enough to take them to 8-5 and an inside track to the playoffs. Bo threw an insane 93 yd bomb to Mims for a TD in the 3rd that gave Denver an 11 pt lead. He threw 2 picks but was solid otherwise. Denver was to supposed to have five wins max this year. Payton and Nix are flipping that on it's head and are a winning combination. Go pro Ducks!

Guess we probably won't get to. Can't say I'm sorry

DL should save a minute or two when addressing the team this afternoon to point out what can happen when you underestimate an opponent, don't execute and play with too much emotion. I don't see OBD doing that but they need to see what Nebuchadnezzar saw when the handwriting was on the wall.

Serious stupidity on Michigan's part by trying to plant their flag on the field. Classless. It is a riot between players

Thats it. Bucknut loses. In their house. One thing will make today sweeter and we all know what that is

If Bucknut loses, how long until Day's seat goes from hot to ejection?

tOSU just got called for 12 on the field, and not in a good Lanning kind of way.

Michigan qb Warren with 62 yds passing and 2 picks, missing their only legit receiver and they are 2 minutes from an upset of tOSU. I wonder if the line for the B1G CG starts to shift regardless of the outcome

tOSU and UM are a study in offensive and special teams futility. This is the Bucknut team I want to see Oregon play next week

The parallels here are eerie. Home game Hated rival Unranked 6-5 opponent that was in Last year's NC game and Winner of the past three head to head match-ups OBD can't let Fusky get a paw in the door like Bucknut has let Michigan do. Neither UM or UW is built to come back from big deficits. Oregon needs to score early and often

I hope someone on the Duck staff is side-eying 'The Game' and seeing what a determined unranked opponent can do in a rivalry game in hostile territory.

Bucknut stymied again in the red zone by running into the strength of the Michigan D and then a poorly thrown pass by Howard Insult to injury, they miss the FG.

Michigan D-line largely keeping Bucknut revamped O-line in check. Howard back in and looks pretty unfazed.

Howard took a huge hit to his left shoulder and neck and is still on the ground into the commercial break. Getting really chippy.

Michigan run game working against tOSU and on D stuffing their RBs. No answer to the Bucknut WRs, but if UM can draw this game out they have a shot. End of 1st qtr, Ohio St 3-0

Oregon 39-17 1 TO 4 Sacks 238 yds passing

Good lord, the Ramblin' Wrecks are going to choke away a 14 point lead against Georgia.

Wow, that "T" should be capitalized and in BOLD face. Fusky needs to give her a scholly and put her on the O-line.

Both OSUs are bad but Okie St is next level bad. It hasn't been enough to shoot themselves in the feet, now they are going after both kneecaps. They are making Prime Buff look like a CFP team. Beavus is pretty pathetic too. Boy, is Jeanty ever a joy to watch run, even with the one fumble he is at 180+ yards. Almost 2250 yds on the year. Just under 400 yds short of Barry Sanders' record. Boise State will be a handful for whoever they meet in December.

Thankful I don't live in Seattle and butt sniff things.

I can't help but think that some of Riverboat Dan's decisions last year against EweDub were predicated on the highly unreliable leg of Cam Lewis. While Sappington isn't a deadeye in the 50 yd range, he is really good from 40 on in. His leg kept OBD alive against Whisky and he probably should have been allowed to kick the FG that would have given Oregon a six point lead instead of that ill-fated fake late in the 4th qtr.

Barring a big Oregon loss in the B1G CG, OBD will go into the CFP ranked either #1 or #5. If tOSU and OBD are truly the two best teams, they will meet up in either the semis or the NC game, If the Ducks somehow flipped to the other division and got by Georgia. There is no path to win it all that doesn't go through both Bucknut and Dawg, unless by some miracle both of those teams end up in the same side of the bracket. That would almost require an SEC CG loss by Georgia and one by Oregon in the B1G CG. This makes my head hurt. Ducks should keep it simple by just winning out.

Could also be related to a desire to not showcase the availability of Tez and JBurch along with some new twists on offense and defense.
