Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Oregon isn't trending down.
Slingblade the Merciful is 22-5 in conference games at the end of year three and will win at least seven more next year.
If you take Slingblade's trajectory and match it to Peterman's then UW should be special in 2023.

This year Oregon lost 3 games including getting blown out by 40 to Utah and losing to the coogs. At least 2 other games came down to the last play. Had they not been able to pick up a 5th year mercenary at qb, they may have had a losing record.
Next year, Oregon loses their entire defense and said qb to graduation.
Definitely trending up.
Hope this helps
Good programs recruit, develop, and keep going. This shit isn't hard. I could go into the RB's, WR's, TE's, OL's and every other position. Good players come to Oregon, do well, and they are replaced by good players. That's what happens at good programs.
If your metric is Oregon wasn't 12-2 with a conference title, Heisman trophy, Rose Bowl Win and NC appearance this year as a downward trend you're a fucking retard. Oregon was on a rebuild at QB, OL, and in the secondary this year and finished with six consecutive conference wins.
When was the last time UW won six consecutive conference games? 91?
The one hubris committed by Oregon was failing to have a serviceable d1 back up at QB. Inexcusable. For some of those games they just needed someone serviceable. They likely take one, maybe two of those games. Utah was going to happen. They were just on and would have beaten a lot of teams like that that night.
I get Mariota made it hard to recruit the position but still. You gotta have someone better than Lockie.
That being said, the "death" of Oregon this year and next is a myth. Their OL now looks like a normal duck front 5, they have skill guys behind skill guys behind starters that would be the man at 90% of power 5 teams (ours included) and their D is now average which is more than enough with VAJ running the offense.
Thank god Vernon broke his finger vs. EWU or they beat sparty and WSU isn't within 17 of them. They would be a one loss team, on their way to the BCS playoffs and the most dangerous team of the 4.
Are defense has been trending down for four years now.
We blew teams out with backup quarterbacks. Now we lose with them.
We run trick plays inside the 5 yard line
Helfrich has more losses so far than Chip ever had
We have a .500 home PAC 12 record
But no, we aren't trending down. PM PL_SS and see if he could lend you some meds.
Now, if you are referring to your Cats, then you still need meds.
great job by sling/frosty to get those guys developed this year.
the no-talent browning cocksucker would be the best qb on oregon's roster next year.
edit: mosster47 should be banned for that post.
So unless Stanford and Oregon both played in the title games...
