Stanford Slugs Oregon


Recommended Posts

Oregon are frauds. None of these top 5 teams can beat Alabama. It's seriously sad

 

If Stanford played as hard and as tough as they did last night, they can beat anyone..That was some of the most hard nosed, old school football I've seen in a very long time. I'm not saying they would beat Bama if they played, but if that was Bama against Stanford last night..Bama would have gotten its butt kicked.

 

And think about this one..if Bama loses to LSU, its going to be a FSU/Ohio State Natl Championship..They won't take a one loss team over 3 unbeatens..(Baylor is playing lights out, but they could just be the South's version of Oregon)

I didn't get to see much of the game unfortunately. How did Ty Montgomery play?

He got a couple nice plays in..had a real nice end around..but it was mostly Tyler Gaffney, with 9 men on the line, ramming it down Oregon's throats..he ended up with the end around for 14 yards, and 2 receptions for 20 yards, and almost broke a return for a TD of 57 yards. Hogan only threw the ball 13 times for 7 receptions..Gaffney set a record with 45 rushing attempts...they ran the ball 67 times.. They just man-handled Oregon. Oregon knew what was coming on mostly every play and still Stanford just destroyed their D-Line, and their D kept Mariota and the Ducks off the field and wore them out all game long. That LB Skol was a beast on D.

 

I would have liked to see Oregon get that second onside kick. The would have had it with about 2 minutes left in the game. On the first Oregon TD not scored on the blocked kick, Oregon marched down, but then Stanford stepped it back up and made it really hard for Oregon, making them use a lot of clock, before they finally scored to make it 26-20. It was like everytme Oregon got in the red zone, they messed up..Thomas's fumble on the 3 really hurt them early..and Mariota had guys all over him all game.

I actually really like that Montgomery comes from the Stanford where they power run frequently much like we're trying to do. I would love to draft him and get him ready for Reggie's retirement.

    • Man I feel real strong about Brian Thomas jr. I think it's on and cracking if we get him. His game is just consistent and he is such a hard cover. I like him being paired with Pittman. I really do!
    • This is probably the most exciting nonplaying event of the year and it’s tomorrow. I just hope that Balllard  and the scouting department I’ve done their job thoroughly
    • @2006Coltsbestever @NFLfan   Kirk has been treated much better and with much more respect than Wentz was treated in Indy. And was showed with Love and truckloads of money in Minnesota, and was defended constantly with much more ferocity by Vikings fans than people defending Ballard in Grievances thread.    it'd be crazy to think of injustice against Kirk for a few minority who criticize his play.    We're Going back and forth on Kirk debate which will go on for eternity, but I struck Gold when I saw recently @Superman explaining how he felt watching Wentz playing with other teams before he got to Indy and how it felt watching him play for Colts when you're emotionally invested with the franchise.    There's no other way to perfectly describe Kirk Cousins' career and his QB play.   For every fan around the NFL, especially for fantasy football fans, Kirk will be a hero and am above average QB. But, when you're emotionally invested in your favourite franchise and Kirk plays QB for your team, you would come close to understanding how excruciatingly frustrating his play and smartness and game awareness are (or shortage of them are), that all contributes to team missing playoffs many years and even when they qualify, no one sees Kirk as a threat in playoffs. Ever. Your team would be paying Elite QB Money for that, and you'd be constantly in debate with criticizers Vs defenders. Until he plays for your team, you won't realize that, and I totally understand.    Anyway, happy to pass on that frustration over to Falcons fans, they'd know soon. First of all, Kirk takes at least a season or two to trust his OL, even if you put an elite line and weapons around him, and it's all in his head. I'm going to sit back and read Falcons forums for Fun in 2024 Season! Good Times! 
    • I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.
    • There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.
