Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

We’ve all seen bad calls over the years. What’s one call that still pisses you off? Mine is the flag on Tony Washington against zona. Specially after watching bama play this weekend and seeing more than one player do the same thing with no flag.

Zach Ertz was clearly out of bounds, and it pisses me off more than it was called correctly on the field and the replay officially felt like asserting himself into the game. It was 1st down so still a good chance Stanford scores but that was such a blatant case of insecure PAC-12 officials wanting to insert themselves into a game and contributed to ruining what should’ve been a historical season for what was clearly the best team in the nation that year.

Despite that though I don’t blame that loss on the officials, Chip and Co thought Stanford would just let Oregon roll over them and they found out the hard way Stanford was there to play.

I will bring this one up every time we have a thread like this:

But I'm sure that in a game decided by a last-second field goal, these calls did not affect the outcome.

I’ll never get over this one. The way the refs made sure their drive kept going and essentially forced Stanford to score was beyond the pale.

Maybe because I was so bummed by the last-second defeat I didn't realize how badly the Ducks got hosed that game ... really shouldn't have even been that close.

Don’t forget the refs calling Cam down when not a single part of his body was touching the frown when he fumbled which Oregon was recovering for a TD. If the refs did their job the ducks would’ve won the game, but Chip was also being arrogant and stubborn that game trying to force the running game against Fairley and Auburn’s great pass defense instead of exploiting their bad passing offense.

Washington getting it for bowing when we see that like 50 times a year with no flags is certainly up there and directly led to that loss.


A lesser known one is that Cam fumbled in the NCG and it was blown dead and therefore non-reviewable. It possibly would have been returned for a TD. Actually makes me more angry than the Dyer play.

watch Boyett's hit on Newton on that third clip.....Awesome. Such a stud

Boyett is a legend that maximized his abilities, despite not winning the genetic lottery. Definitely on my short list of favorite Oregon players ever.
