Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Here we are my friends, the thread for discussing the actual game as it happens. The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we like civilized discussion, and really don't want to read nonsense from other people. I have had to ban a few people in the past...simply because of this thread. They were fine during normal forum discussion, but turned into something ugly in this thread when things in the game did not go well. Posting negative is fine, but going dark on the entire program, the future of Oregon football, the IQ and tenure of Dan Lanning over one play, one decision or even one game is too far. Again, usual negative observations and opinions about the game are fine. No venting. Telling us you don't like the interception and adding some salt to it is fine, but hammering us many times in the thread about how stupid something is--will be deleted. This is a place to let go, but not vent. Can you tell the difference? When you write that Oregon is playing like crap, or sucks, etc....do you really think your astute observation is not already noticed by everyone else? When you are writing stuff like that...you are not adding comments or analysis, you are venting. Again....negative is fine! This is the hard part of moderating, and that is explaining how 95% of the negative written is just fine. What about being critical of the players/coaches? We can be critical of player performance and coaching decisions, but we cannot get personal on them. I really do want you all to have fun with this, and sorry for having to delve into it, but I know I need to spell this out for a few people. Now let's have some fun discussing this upcoming game of the Dan Lanning era! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Good grief. Can somebody tell Ted Robinson after all these years of calling Oregon games, that it is not YOU-gene, but it is pronounced you-GENE with the accent on the second syllable? But I should not be surprised...a decade ago in 2012, when Mariota pulled the ball on a Zone Read he shouted, "Great fake!" Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirklandduck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Good tough run into the end zone by Ferguson. He was one of the few bright spots last game, I hope he's more of a focus for the passing offense going forward. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Duck No. 18 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) If we're up something like 42-0 at the half, what do you think the odds are of seeing a backup QB or two get some PT in the second half? Edited September 11, 2022 by Desert Duck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 19 Share Posted September 11, 2022 So far... Irving is a thumper at runningback and he can take some hits and keep on trucking. But he is not good catching balls out of the backfield. Cardwell has some solid vision and can bob and wave through a crowd. He also a real threat in the recievers game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartm25 No. 25 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have to comment on the difference between MC and Lanning. MC would have drained the clock to go into the half up 28-7 (assuming MC could have mustered 28 points). After the Ducks got to 35, they stopped EWU with two minutes left in the 2nd quarter and Dan Lanning APPROPRIATELY used a timeout to conserve time to TRY AND SCORE AGAIN BEFORE THE HALF!! It was the first timeout of the entire half used by the Ducks. Thank you, Dan Lanning. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have been a pick 6, with the defender having the inside position. It looked like Ferguson covered the DB's eyes with his right hand while catching the ball with his left. So the defender never saw the ball until it was too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckIt No. 33 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I would have like to have seen some deep shots taken this game. I know it wasn't necessary with the YAC and all the success running the ball, but if ever there was a game to practice it, this was it. TT made one attempt to go vertical but overthrew his receiver by a mile which was probably for the best, considering he threw into double coverage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
