Don't. Just don't.

Review the season. OBD were who we thought they were. Before the season, during the season, and now ..

Young, inexperienced, mistake prone, wild swings in performance. Dan Lanning elevated a team that had NO BUSINESS earning a semi final berth.

This very forum continuously questioned this team's capacity. It started the first week of October. Why are we surprised? Denny Green has been saying all year "we let em off the hook!". All year.

The team was coached up. An explosive offense earned 28 points against a defense that should give up 35 . No LB speed, still vulnerable at safety. Never set the edge strategy, prone to allowing key 3rd down conversions. Horrible in the red zone.

A QB with all the potential, but nowhere near enough experience. Some say he's soft. An OL that can win a battle in a box, but has trouble moving laterally. Injuries at key skill positions all year.

What can you expect when an incomplete team faces an execution juggernaut? Some of this is coaching, but golly, the team had flaws any elite program will attack.

Dan Lanning is ahead of the curve by a galaxy When all is said and done, players must execute. I hope nobody in Duck Nation is claiming OBD came even close to executing well on Friday.

The Program is in the best hands it has ever had. There is no such thing as perfection. It's the pursuit that matters. It's the journey folks. Life is about the journey.

Thanks Mike West. I have to admit that I shake my head at some of these threads that question Dan Lannings capabilities and/or decision making. I trust our Head Coach and those he assembles around him. GO DUCKS!

Let's Go Ducks!

I am not questioning our program at all!!

Love Dan and I hope he continues to love Eugene!

We had a great season and I expect one next year too. Only one team per yr is the Nat Champion... Final 4 not so bad for an injured team, one with some questions at several positions and Offensive and Defensive coordinators holding two jobs.

Yes the interception to start and the fumbles were killers, as were the continual plays by Indiana Qb and his receivers,

Dan will figure it out.... I am certain of this! All things in their own time. Go Ducks!! Throw the ball lol.

Great post Mike, and I thank you for it.

My pet peeve are people who almost never post....until we lose. Then they come out of the woodwork to complain. Who needs that?

As far as I'm concerned...those who post here on a regular basis about all the goings-on with the program, and all the topics have every right to complain and state their issues with coaching or player performance.

That is the purpose of a forum...to discuss the good and the bad. But I don't have much patience for those who only show up to complain. Of course those who that this pertains to will not make the connection because...

Some fans are like Huskies...

Mike, that is the right attitude. Getting there is more than half the fun.

PS. Charles, This is the Only site I visit.

No pay sites... Nothing else! I have x and news etc, but the

rest of sites are paid click bait garbage compared to the site you provide.

Thank you again for all your time, commitment, knowledge and of course your own dollars!
