Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens.  Let's discuss before, and during the game!

I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish.

But Note the Parameters:

--This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past.

--You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week.

Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread.

Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

It is sunny at the moment in Eugene, but gosh....it was pouring buckets at noon. I am concerned that it will impact attendance and our home-field advantage, and will there be wind and rain during the game?

Weather report I last saw said...yes.

"Storms likely for several hours"

Why the concern Charles? It never rains in Autzen Stadium!

🤦🏻‍♂️

This team..sigh

Our tackles are worked at the moment

Slow start again.

Do the Ducks play today?

Looks to my uneducated eyes that Wisconsin may have

paid attention to how Indiana handled our offensive line.

Not worried about losing this game... may show some issues which must be fixed

Go Ducks

Looks like Wisconsin is using the Indiana defensive line playbook,

Coach said they addressed those issues... Perhaps not?

Maybe the MVP today will be the punter.

All of these east-west and backfield plays. Why are we reluctant to just run it straight ahead or throw north/south?

Play calling is a complete joke. Stein needs to go.

How the Duck O can come out so flat, at home is Absolutely mind-boggling. They have no passion!

The O is uninspired...........

Whisky is doing nothing special. The O line is not firing out. They are letting the defense come to them.

Lets go D, shut down Whisky until the O decides to show up.

That was a safety!

And now Wisconsin has gotten a couple of easy 1st downs.

Kick returns are abysmal...

I am lowering my expectations, maybe we can get a first down.

I would like to see Moore start to actually look to become more a gunslinger, he's too conservative, that last throw was an atrocious decision, no chance to get the first down, he looks scared to make a decision.

Ok.. I'm going to start bad mouthing Whittington again... Because for whatever reason he seems to do better to prove me wrong.

There are other stats that back up this newfound parity, according to research from the data analytics platform TrueMedia.

Entering this weekend, games between power league programs have been decided by an average of 14.2 points — on pace to be the lowest figure in any season since 2009.

A whopping 43% of power conference football games have been decided by one score, which is on pace to be the highest percentage in any season in the last 20 years.

“Our margins are smaller. Margins are tight everywhere,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said.

What on earth is with our offense?

I hope I'm wrong but I'm feeling it right now that we are looking at a loss.

Ducks just not playing with any passion on offens right now.

Atrocious offense right now, this is a bad team we are playing right now, and we are getting beat everywhere.

This is just a flat out awful showing.

Maybe the coaches and team have taken the entire Grateful Dead / Hippie experience a bit too literal.

At this rate, they're gonna need a lot of Doritos at halftime.

Came here to say this...

The upside is that we are tied and have not shown up yet.

o ye of little faith- come on my fine feathered friends: OBDs have played poorly so far but haven't given up a score. plenty of time to shine!

I'm extremely confident it will get better, but this is awful and has to be called out, we aren't ready to play on offense, that's on the coaches.

1st quarter stat

46 yds - Wisconsin

21 yds - Oregon

My grandsons are watching the game and telling me the plays that OBD's are going to run before they run them.

It appears Whisky can pre-read, pre-snap, also....

Another listless offensive game plan.

They addressed them. He didn't say that they fixed them.

Now our defensive line it getting blown off the snap, it's not a good look.

I predict that the score will be 0-0 after one quarter...

Travel is effecting this young team. Not on game day, but the week after. At least in conference play. The team looks like they're in slow motion. Uncharacteristic mistakes as well. OBD are sleep walking

Throw out my prediction contest entry. Getting out-physicalled on both lines. B1G teams in red have us figured out

Do your grandson's, by chance, have eligibility remaining?

Now the defense is crumbling too, I fear I have seen this before. wake up.

Well the highlight video won't take long to watch.

Wisconsin can't throw against the Ducks, crowd the line and make them try to beat us throwing it.

and open up the offense, one throw down field so far was complete for 15-20 yards. More of that. Stop the cutsy stuff.

At 9:30 mark.....

13:00 - possession Wisconsin

7:30 - Oregon

You see that and I see that but our zillion dollar coaches cant see that--amazing

Were I Lanning the Ducks would never wear black uniforms again. Aside from the quarterback not being able to see receivers through the upraised arms of onrushing defensive linemen, black is unlucky for Ducks.

Yep, they throw a few down field and now the running game is opening up.

Let's go Ducks, stick it in the end zone now.

Davison showing why he should start!

I think Jordan Davison and Dierre Hill are both better than Noah Whittington. I hope the offense keeps running through them.
