    Playoffs or Helfrich needs to GTFO.

    Too much talent on offense to not win 11 games and the P12 championship. Pvt Pyle will fuck this up and cost them two losses from these 5: @ UCLA, @ OSU, @ Utah Stanford, or Sparty.

    Then after a Alamo Bowl win over a 7-5 Texas Tech team the Quooks will proclaim that things are looking great for 2015!

    2015 will more than likely be a tough road no matter who is the coach. The QB and O-line will be new.

    I'm not worried about the game being in Autzen. It's not that tough of a place to play. Stanford and USC beat them there. Oregon is still a finesse team. Which means they typically lose to teams that decide to punch them in the mouth. The UW Defense has been closer to finesse than the buzzsaw they need to be. We'll see if young pups are ready to graduate and take off the training wheels and go smack someone.

    That was a few years ago when USC beat them, and Stanford is their only loss there the past two years. It's a tough place to play, stop fooling yourself. I think it's as close to a guaranteed loss as we have on the schedule.

    Expectations: Not high. The AD is obviously an idiot. Conducting the grand experiment of hiring a HC with zero HC experience, an OC with zero OC experience, and now a DC with zero DC experience, and expecting this to result in some kind of magic equal to Chip Kelly is just insane. I think it will end in disaster. I was not impressed by the sloppy offense I saw last year (even during blowouts). The defense was ok and then went to complete shit against Stanford, AZ and OSU. These guys seemed weak willed and lacked spirit. I blame this entirely on the coaches.

    I would not be surprised by 3 losses. Mariota is a good QB and he covers up some blemishes, but I don't seem him as being very tuff. He turns mediocre as soon as he starts getting roughed up a bit. Once he becomes mediocre the team changes and they start playing like pussies. I don't want to see that this year. I want to see some tuffness and better leadership, both from the coaches and from the players.

    Again, my expectations are not high. I don't have any confidence in Helfrich and I think he needs to get the axe sooner rather than later.

    We've already seen the return of the Oregon fade last year. Expect it to rear it's handsome head earlier next Season as the Ducks win the Fight Hunger Bowl to go 9-4 on the Season.
