    Who is calling this the best Oregon team ever?

    Top 5 but clearly not the best.
    Every Oregon fan not associated with HH. Next year the same thing. And so on. And so on.
    I don't know any of these fans, but ok.

    Oregon was the media darling this year which created this false narrative. I need never understood the hype but started to wonder if I was the one who was underestimating the Ducks.

    I was not.
    The hype was claiming that Oregon was a lock to beat UW, I never heard anyone says this was the best Oregon team ever. Create a strawman and then, well you know the rest.
    It was only one person, but someone posted a tweet that was lamenting the fact that this was a once in a generation Duck team and the dream is now shattered.
    probably someone who is 20 years old. 2012 Oregon team was far better.
    2007 (before Dixon got hurt), 2010-2012, 2014, possibly even 2019 (Herbert's senior year) could beat this year's team. I was most disappointed in this team's lack of toughness in the CCG. I expected to be torched by Penix but giving up so many yards on those early screen passes and, most of all, to Dillon on the ground was pathetic. The first 2 possessions were also mind-bogglingly horrific, both in play-calling and execution.

    Definitely not the greatest Oregon team ever.
    The play calling on what I think was the second to last possession in the game was fucking mental as well.

    And they never should have gone back to Bucky after what James was getting out of the game. A less whacky and more seasoned coach wouldn’t have given a fuck about who got them there. You ride the hot hand and what’s working until it stops working.

    Even the sideline reporter, who happened to be a female, made note of it to Danning.
    It looks like James should be their big money, featured player next year.

    Great point about James. I thought the same after Jordan busted a couple of good runs whereas Bucky was struggling to not run back into the lineman and miss the hole completely.

    Bucky was a shadow of himself the last 3 games of the year. Did you watch his demeanor as he walked on and off the field between plays? I don't know if he was disinterested or what but he wasn't all greased up, that's for sure.

    Bucky played a long season with a ton of contact because he doesn't go down

    You have to play your fresher guy. Especially 2nd half of game 13

    By not having a running back and not running half the year an injured Johnson still had juice for UW

    Said on the pod it really seemed like Bucky lost juice as the season went on and because he runs so fucking hard for a guy who is so small. Holding James till the second half seemed like some Jimmy Lake level 4D chess or something unless Bucky isn't really that banged up and it was just UW getting the jump on him.

    A loss that historical and convincing would make a fanbase like Oregon's backtrack from "this is a Natty team and one of our best ever" to "Well, maybe they're up there with 2014 but that's it."

    I'll always maintain I thought 2010, 2011, and 2012 Oregon were scarier than 2014.

    2012 was the best. They destroyed everyone they played that year other than Stanford.

    De'Anthony just made those teams scarier and him combod with Mariota was scary. Plus Chip over Helfrich.

    It took years for coaches to figure out Chimp's weird offense. Then he was sacrificed.

    The wefs also weren't prepared for it. Time has made me not hate Chip that much and the only Oregon coach I actually hate and will always hate is Crisco. With Chip I'm mostly a bit annoyed that I was blogging and on social media at the time and said the hyper hurry up wouldn't be a thing forever and endless people calling me an idiot.

    I respect the hell out of Oregon Chip. Dude was ahead of his tim and good enough and smart enough to plunger Sark annually but just the tip. Also did it without absolutely killing it in recruiting. Dude was nails. But alas, like Lambo's defense, cfb was destined to catch up to the HUNH and Chip didn't have anymore tricks up his sleeve.

    Chip has lost his desire. Not the same guy at all.
