You can watch us bounce back and go to bed happy.
I will now admit the Huskies are legit. That is going to be FUGLY.dthomas=ddixon wrote:I hope we're all strapped in and ready for a really rough next two weeks. We struggle at Wazzu in our best years, can't imagine how we'll pull out a victory in our current state. And the week after... ugh.
Hopefully the players-only meeting and the new "angry" mentality help contribute to a win tonight.Kinda grasping at straws for positives but.......they were able to defend Stanfords ONLY weapon McCaffrey. If I had to find a positive to the game, we have 6 "McCaffreys" so we won't be quite so one dimensional.Cedar Tree wrote:Meh, gotta keep things in perspective. They *barely* escaped with a win in overtime against an average-at-best Arizona team, and beat up on an injury-ridden Stanford team at home. *Golf clap*
I'm actually glad the game went the way it did. The players will see the final score, they'll be fired up even more, and Autzen is going to be loud as hell. I, for one, still believe in the Ducks, and still believe they can (and will) win that game.
First thing's first though: let's take care of Wazzu
Did you see the UW DL? Have you seen our OL? We can have 6 McCaffrey's but it won't mean squat if the OL can't give the QB time or create holes for the backs. We will see how UW does as a favorite and with the whole country drooling over them. It's easy to lose focus and Oregon, despite the struggles, is one of the most talented teams in the conference if not country.QuackininBama wrote:Kinda grasping at straws for positives but.......they were able to defend Stanfords ONLY weapon McCaffrey.

Offense hasn't been an issue for the most part. We couldn't stop Portland State from scoring on us but we have a shot if we can outscore them.Duck24 wrote:Did you see the UW DL? Have you seen our OL?

Call it what whatever you want, but one game doesn't define a football team. Unlike you, I'm not going to immediately concede that the game is going to be a "FUGLY" loss.QuackininBama wrote:Kinda grasping at straws for positives but.......they were able to defend Stanfords ONLY weapon McCaffrey.

Uhh ok? No need to get defensive. If you watched the game you have to admit they played outstanding. It wasn't a fluke. They DOMINATED the offensive and defensive lines, played smart, disciplined football, the entire defense ran to the ballcarrier, the offense took what the defense gave them and scored....I didn't see anything to tell me that wasn't the 10th best team in the country. Then you watch the Ducks play and..........yea.Cedar Tree wrote:Call it what whatever you want, but one game doesn't define a football team.

It's hilarious to me that people here keep acting like our OL is bad, yet every metric used to grade them says otherwise. He'll just last night I saw Carson York say that the 4 FR are better than any of the OL he played with during his time at UO. That's some hefty praise for them. Again, I don't think some of you understand what the OL is supposed to do when zone blocking.Duck24 wrote:Did you see the UW DL? Have you seen our OL?

Keep these coming. After watching the Huskies stomp all over Stanford, I need to hear some glimmer of positivity about the ducks, like maybe we can win and keep the streak alive. Maybe Stanford just has a terrible line and that's why the Husky front four looked so insanely good. Maybe, whenever they try those moves on the ducks, Royce Freeman will burn them for 10 yards. Maybe the Stanford QB isn't as mobile as Prukop. Keep hope alive.buckmarkduck wrote:
