Actually, the social media stuff was really good this week, and the uniform reveal was to die for.

He's had 4 years to learn when to go for it on 4th down, he still consistently gets it wrong, we haven't completed one I believe this year, that's atrocious, he isn't going to learn.

I liked a few of them when they were new, but I don't watch a single one at this point, it's all fluff, it would be nice to actually care about the whole "bring a lunchpail". If I was Lanning I would strip the players this week of every perk they get. Have the meetings in some cafeteria on campus using the little school seats with the desks attached to them, make them change in the visiting locker room or even better make them go to student rec center, make them actually have to earn those perks back, but I'm sure it'll be business as usual, there won't be any consequences for this, they'll just complain that it was hot and it was early start.

He's as good as we can get for now. He's still young, so question is if he will learn from mistakes, or has he peaked? I think he will get better.

I expected to see progression from last week. Instead, I saw regression everywhere, except special teams. Thats coaching. Unfortunately, I suspect we've seen DL's ceiling.

Once upon a time we lost to PSU game one and went to the Rose Bowl. This team, hmm, just so much wrong.

If I were offering DL my sage advice I would suggest banning cameras from the practice facilities. The hype machine has run its course.

And it was the second one following an equally poor decision to go for it on 4th and 7 just inside the 50 yard line. Your defense was just beginning to show signs of life. That one changed the remainder of the game IMHO.

Lets just hope Boise St doesn't lose a bunch of games

I think this take is correct by Geoff. This is arguably the worst loss in Oregon history.

I said after last week's game that maybe hiring from within wasn't the best idea. Both sides of the ball have regressed greatly. While it is not the end of the season, it is time to keep an eye out for an offensive and defensive coordinator, just in case.

The Oregon-Nike hype machine has way more than lost its charm.

I still say that we have a decent chance to bounce back next Saturday against PSU. After watching this program 54 years, I will say that this is one of the more shocking losses that I can remember. I'm stunned by this one and absolutely tired of all the hype.

I don't care about the playoffs, I really don't at this point, I just want a winning season, that's how bad we look. I have so little confidence in the coaches at this point, they are consistently awful in preparation. We get by with talent, not with scheme or coaching.

Drew Mestemaker silences critics as he outduels Dante Moore, leads Oklahoma State to stunning win over OregonDrew Mestemaker silences critics as he outduels Dante Moo...Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker won his doubters over with a gritty performance that led to a 39-31 win over Oregon on Saturday afternoon. He passed for 317 yards and ran for 109.

Stunned in Stillwater: No. 6 Oregon Falls to Oklahoma State 39-31On3Stunned in Stillwater: No. 6 Oregon Falls to Oklahoma Sta...Dante Moore and the No. 6 Oregon Ducks lost to the Oklahoma State Cowboys 39-31 in Stillwater for the first win of the Eric Morris era.

For the first time in all the years we have been doing this...the winner is NOBODY. There was not a single prediction for the Cowboys, and that is the most fundamental element of the prediction. And I am not justifying "who was closest" from there... Our Beloved Ducks have messed a lot of things up, but I will still be a devoted fan and keeping things going here. Instead of just reading posts? How about YOU start a thread, and keep things active here?

Maybe Lanning was thinking the defense had very little chance of stopping OSU? Still, you have to punt there, or at least call timeout if your players look confused before the ball is snapped. That play had no chance from the start.

...and I would. But do I want him coaching my BD? I no longer know.

Perhaps a coaching staff that has fallen short of preparing the team to come ready to play. A coaching staff that has not built intensity within the players. It appears that defensively that both BSU and OSU players were in the Ducks offensive huddle and knew the exact play the Ducks were running. Is the new OC play calling predictable? The hype is done, the rubber has hit the road and the Ducks are playing with one or two flat tires. All the Duck goals for this season are out in front of them. I wonder if the coaches and players are willing to make the changes needed to reach them. What a let down this game was for most everyone. Go Ducks......

I'd like to see the Ducks soften up on all the glamorous PR videos. It's ok periodically. It gets a little old seeing Dan's rah rah motivational speaking. It's been an overkill in my opinion.

Going for it on fourth down deep in your territory, 5 points down, and 8 minutes left. Terrible decision…

Lanning's got some 'splainin to do. His first real and total face plant. Let's see how he handles it.

Stunningly poor... Score does not show bad.. Other than the two interceptions... The defense bad, The offense worse. In truth, se still control our way to playoff, In fact if we play like like this as SC, we will be behind 28-0 in first quarter and play off done.. An anomaly? Seems not after watching last week... I'm afraid Donte made a poor business decision in not going second in the draft.. On the surface, it certainly does not inspire confidence in the new coordinators... I find Dan going for it on 4th late in quarter to be interesting? Just no confidence in defense, frustrated, etc.. I dunno... An out of conference away game... no bit deal if I had not seen it,

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think Lanning is capable of winning the big one, he doesn't have a ruthless streak with his players or coaches. He doesn't hold players accountable for mental errors, he doesn't go after the best coordinators possible, he doesn't prepare for games like the best coaches do. He recruits very well, and he looks good on a hype video, but he continues to have his teams unprepared, he continues to make terrible in game decisions, and he continues to rely on talent instead of getting the best out of his players.
