Looking bleak, how can our Ducks shake it off?

It seems like they’re past the point of no return unfortunately.

And the local trolls will say they need to fire Dan Lanning 😂

We can’t even get a good punt.

Great run this year, but unfortunately we don’t show up well post season. I was fearing the time off would have the team unprepared.

Not even sure how you turn it around. Big turnover and score maybe.

Just a complete spanking in all facets of the game. Doesn't help with the way the selection committee completely screwed the ducks over - by design. East coast bias. They are turds with their rigging. We should have eased into this with an easier opening game. But again, it was designed to make it tough on that team out west

I said I was going to turn the game off if they didn’t score at the end. I’m still planning to turn it off if they score ASAP.

It’s probably time to start focusing on basketball. I believe the Ducks have a big game against Illinois tomorrow.

Good score, but not ASAP. Need the defense to come up big.

They actually got a stop! Finally worked off the month long rust

Right on queue. The crew over at ATQ now calling for the firing of pretty much every coach but Lanning. And questions on Lanning. Never ends. Sigh.

Every big team has their fans that totally lose it.

Somehow lost my bookmark for oliveducks when I updated my phone.

Finally found a link buried in my inbox - just in time to commiserate. 😢

I know we had a great season, but dang - I was really hoping this would be the year.

Me too. But playoff system didn’t support it. Almost wish we had lost a game to get a lower seed. More games, yes, but less time sitting around. Took the Ducks 28 minutes to find any sense of playing ball on the field. By then it was too tall of a hill to climb.

A couple weeks ago, while talking heads were picking Ohio State to win, I thought: If we do, I hope it’s not like the Oregon-Florida State playoff game, only with us as Florida State.

Damn. The score is almost the same!

No use crying over spilt milk, but it’s such an Oregon thing that the year they go undefeated again is the year they didn’t have to.
