Let's discuss the game before it begins, and during the game. Let's keep the posts clean, and no shots at other OBD members, (Be polite and respectful) However strong opinions are welcome, as we learn from each other. All opinions are welcome, just no personal attacks on fellow OBD members.

And no personal attacks on current players and coaches; now being critical of player performance, and coaching decisions is not only allowed, but what we do on a forum, just leave out personal attacks is all. And don't just be a negative-nelly....when things are good, let us know your thoughts then too.

Now let's have fun!

Visiting Vancouver in British Columbia. Staying at the Pan Pacific Hotel, perhaps the finest hotel in Vancouver. Don't even ask the price. No ESPN. Lots of American stations but nothing from Disney. Not pleased but I love my DUCKS!

An hour and 10 minutes delay until kickoff due to lightning strikes. 1:15 pm kickoff now PST

You mean 1:15 EST, and 10:15 PST?

For sure there are streaming sites but many of them have viruses and others are only previews.

10:30 kickoff now but if there is a lightening strike within 8 miles of the stadium the clock resets for a new 30 minutes plus one hour for the teams to warm up. A moving target. Streaming on Dish.

I'm worried that partway through the game, when the next televised game starts, ESPN is going to switch to ESPN News that nobody gets or their streaming app. Good like trying to record that.

The good news is the delay puts the game a bit later for the duck players for a more normal game time, although it's already too late the effects of waking up super early. Perhaps they can take a siesta.

The other benefit is the thunderstorms do cool down temps significantly, but the humidity will still be ridiculous.

I'm HOPING it stays on Disney+ and I don't have to scramble and find a way to watch it.

I'm still watching football on the cheap and avoiding subscribing to something until I need to. Today the game is supposed to be on ESPN and Disney+ (which we have because of the children) and hoping it stays that way.

Not sure where to comment but on my tablet the comments are set too transparent making it difficult to read them. GonDucks.

When a post gets marked by a moderator the transparency in the comment section will go away.

Looks like the team wasn't ready to play again, horrible start.

Hope our O line can open up some holes.

Um, is it too late to change my prediction?

OSU starts with 8 guys that are within 4 yards of the LOS on 1st and 2nd down, with LBs cheating up in the middle. So obviously call 2 interior runs to start there.

🤪

Did the ESPN cameras get hit by lightning? Another 3 and out again?

Covered up by commercials

Prediction... This team will play hungry and ready against teams they deem to be at their level. Yikes.

Ducks dont look ready to play.

This team ain't it

Well, then again...

just like that I eat my words

Devon Jackson?

Well, alrighty, then!

No, it was a lucky play, doesn't mean that the team is not ready to play AGAIN!

Saved by a great interception. This team better gets is's crap in order!

Not a good defense..... And where is this offense?

Go Ducks or you will not be in the top 20!!!!

Bent but not break!

Another break for offense to get their act together!

Devon Jackson has given 11 points in the 1st quarter. Not bad for a defensive player. 😀 It's nice to see his speed finally make a difference.

Gonna be nice when these boys wake up. 😋

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to tip a ball at the LOS, and have a linebacker that can catch it in the middle of the field and run it back 96 yards.

Good Lord. This is looking like our worst defense in the Lanning area!!! How disappointed. What is taking place? How many mistakes can they make?

Getting locked up by OK st is insane

The running game worked, so let's try passing on all 4 downs! ☹️

Edited 17 minutes ago17 min by DuckFan93

The team is just not all the way there.

Last week, one rushing play in the first quarter. This week, one completion.

4 possessions.  39 yards!!

Edited 15 minutes ago15 min by GeotechDuck

I cant watch this... Im going to the community event in Blue River... Maybe check on Starlink from there..... If we play like this at SC, I fear 28-0 in first quarter.....

dropped pass for a TD doesn't help...

something is up with this team...

can't believe my eyes

I'm with Drew Mehringer, F'me.

These guys are in a high heat, high humidity fog. Dante Moore is having his worst game as a Duck. Nothing is on target

But the worst thing is he is scared of his shadow in the pocket and not seeing open receivers when they get open.

Whoever drafts Dante Moore is going to get fired...He just doesn't have the natural awareness required for the position.

I mentioned after the last game that I had serious concerns about Drew Meringer’s play calling. So far he has not done anything to alleviate that concern. In fact my concerns are getting worse.

Playing a lot of guys on defense. I've seen Tank Johnson and Will Straton so far (to go along with guys like Woodyard, Robinson, Wyatt). Have not located Perich. Maybe they are preparing for late game heat; but, this is really opening it up on defensive substitutions this early... there is Perich on the TD play (trying to cover 2 guys by himself). Confusion. Whatever this substitution patern is, not working too well so far.

Edited 3 minutes ago3 min by AnotherOD

Anybody else notice Will Stratton out there? Isn't he a walkon?

Running all over us, this is horrible.

Commentator is right, we're just sleep walking out there.

How many yards are we going give up? 500?

Ducks should be embarrassed right now.

We'll be out of top 25 at 2-2 after USC loss in a couple weeks. 8-4 is the ceiling for this team. Talent is there, I think it's on the coaching.

100%.

Way over rated so far.

Hampton getting out coached...

Jury still out.. he had a perfect call last drive. Dropped sure TD

They should not be having so many issues against a team made up of primarily AAC players.
