GODUCKS15

Agree on the RB's but if AB starts then it the SOS. I will be totally shocked if TT starts.

And that's pretty much why I don't see an upside. I have not been shocked by changes except for the Ohio St game. I really thought this was going to be the year. It wasn't like we blew out some podunk team by 60 points. We beat Thee Ohio State after going 0-8 against them. Maybe they're a little overrated? But certainly they'd beat most teams in the P12. Then we nose dive in the next 3 games. Whats gives? I'm just not seeing a positive pattern developing. I like roller coaster rides but only at the amusement park.

IMO this seasons toast as far as the CFP goes. Ducks will be lucky to make the Rose. Too many issues going on right now and with UT, UCLA, WA and Ast on the road I just don't see an upside to the season. Looks like Verdell may be out for the season. JM is still in the hospital. AB's error prone. Lots of key injuries. Way too many obstacles to overcome for the season to have a happy ending. Everyone keeps saying if this or that changes then the Ducks will get better. When's the last time you saw big changes? I haven't seen any consistency in the last 3 seasons. Except for the run up the gut play. The only thing consistent is the inconsistencies. Is the sky falling? No but it ain't bright and sunny either.

This was a colaboritive losing effort. Players, coaches and refs. Improve one of the three and the Ducks win.

Well we can watch a real football game tonight Ore St vs WA. This is going to be a looooooooooong season.

Announcers said Jim Mastro. IMO it was any bodies guess.

This loss was totally on MC.

Happy?

Who said Oregon footballs boring?

OMG. Talk about self destructing.

Thank goodness for a bye next week.

TT to start the 2nd half? Team needs a spark. Something needs to change. I've never missed watching a Duck game for as long as I can remember. But I'm about done with this cra!.

As a die hard Steeler fan living in Oregon and hating the Seagulls, I still couldn't root for the gulls with MM as the QB. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Why the big secret? Just show the schedule.

Spot on.

Does it really matter if it's finalized or not at this time? OOC games are set. Only thing missing is dates for conference games. Times are usually on a weekly basis anyways. Bye weeks will pop up when dates are finalized. I see this schedule every year. I don't know why it takes so long but at the same time does it really matter? The home/away part is decided so all that's needed is a date. Times are never finalized until a week or so before except for some marque games like the Ore St or WA game. I did read that the Ohio St game is up in the air as far as location. Doesn't look like a home and home scenario could be played out in the near future. Reads like it may be a neutral field.

Dates TBA. I've seen this kind of early schedule before. Not sure whats taking so long.

From what I read the players left town or whatever and when the UO got the okay to start practicing for conference play the Ducks were behind the 8 ball in conditioning. I never took much of anything last year serious. It was basically an exhibition season IMO. Yeah they won the P12 albeit by default sorta. Got steamrolled in the Fiesta. Got the big payday though. Too many changes in personnel and not enough time to implement those changes with players that had to be rushed back in shape or were 1st time starters without big game experience. A total cluster conundrum. As a Duck fan it was frustrating to watch. The team rarely clicked for more than a few series at a time. It was like putting a pig on lipstick.

I don't think you can answer that question until TY puts on some Duck pads and starts playing against the Duck D. He may look the part on film but he still needs to grasp the offense and be productive. Hard to let him learn on the fly and possibly lose games when you have a proven QB even though he is only a 1 season QB. I also don't think you can let Ty sit on the bench the whole season. But again is he good enough to manage a whole game or when the games on the line? As for the coaches making the decision it's easy for them to see which QB moves the ball with the least amount of mistakes. If we have a spring game that will at least give some kind of indication who the QB might be.

I can't see a 5* QB sitting on the bench for the 2021 season. If he's the real deal then he's the starter or co-starter after the Ohio St game IMO. The rest can sit and watch or transfer.

If Shough is 3rd then whats that say for the other QB's below him?

Why would anyone not pass up a chance to be The D guy at Oregon and double their salary? In conference move or not the money difference along with the chance to be The D guy at Oregon is a lot to pass up. According to reports I read DeRuyter left Cal making $400K a year. Avlos left Oregon making $830K(?). Bonuses would get an Oregon DC close to $1M. Not much bonus action at Cal. It's a win win situation.

That ranking seems about right. Ducks will probably lose to Ohio st and another P12 game giving them a 10-2 record before a bowl game. Thats deserving of a top 10 ranking.

$$$$$ talks. Looks like he's underpaid.

I for one can't take the 2020 P12 season seriously. National perception is that the P12 is weak and has been for several years. I feel that it was a wonky season mad even wonkier by the late start that was brought on by forces out of the Ducks control. Oregon did what it needed to to win the P12 and play in the Fiesta. Yes they lost in the bowl game but does it really matter? Going 4-2 before being in a big 6 bowl game in and of it's self is not normal. Players got to play and coaches got to coach and fans? Well it was rough to watch the whole season. Was it a waste? I don't think so. Imagine if the Ducks had not played this season. They would've never found out that they don't have a QB and players that were backups or 1st time starters wouldn't of had the needed real game experience. Culture? Top recruits still have the Ducks in their top 8-10 list. That says something about the culture.
