    I don't super have a problem with any of the 4th downs. Execute one of them, win the game.

    This. Same as last year. I really can’t fault Lanning for the decisions. I’d want DeBoer to make the same decision. It comes down to execution.
    Bird in the Hand.

    Danny follows that rule and the last uw TD is meaningless w/o recovering a OS kick.

    That's all it is. There were 6 fourth down attempts in this game. UW was 5-1.

    I admire Lansing's aggressiveness in a way, but at times it turns into stupidity

    The success they had against our defense, it's hard to argue against those decisions. Our defense stepped up and made them pay, though.
    I thought the ones near the goal line were okay. I don't know about going for it on 4th and 5 late in the game, near mid field. 4th and 1, sure
    Eh, punt there and UW just goes down the field and scores a TD from 85 yards instead of 50. The only way Oregon wins that game is by running out the clock.
    uw had scored 7 points the entire second half up to that point. Your logic is flawed. Operating from the 50 is much easier than inside your own 15. I like Oregon’s chances much better than a gamble at the 50 on 4th down.

    Not sure what they think. We have said this from day one. They are paying Lanning to learn on the job by the time he figures it out, he takes the ND job

    Counterpoont, Washington had zero timouts and Penix was hurt.
    To be clear I think they should have punted there, but it was one play. The defense *could* have stood up and made a stop, but they didn't.

    Too bad Lanning wasn’t paying attention to that fact.
