Let's Be Fans and Praise Our Team

Submitted by SC Wolverine on

Let's not forget to be fans and give some positive support to our team.  What did you find encouraging and praiseworthy from last night's close loss to a tough team on the road?  I'll start us off by saying that Peppers was terrific in getting past blocks and tackling in space.  Can't wait to see him develop and make plays!

Someone else pointed this out in another thread, and it bears repeating: no 3rd and longs...positive yardage on most first and second downs. Also:
Solid special teams play.
No sacks allowed.
Several tackles for loss.
We have receivers that can get downfield!

I will say GO BLUE and that I am always a Wolverine. Just cannot wait to see a team different from the one I have seen for the last ten years. No running game. Poor QB play. Pitiful OL. Been patient for way too long. If Harbaugh wasn't our Coach right now I really think I would be giving up on the season already.

Unfortunetly I ran out of "Well we lost, but good job guy's you'll get em next time!" feelings in 2012. All that are left are "You fucked this, this, and this up... fix it soonish" feelings.

Loved how physical we were on both sides of the ball.

Defense was really good, but not elite. Disapointing in that regard, but perhaps opportunity to improve.

pass blocking was great. 

big concerns about running game. bigger concerns about rudock. nevermind the picks, missing on the longball was more worrisome because that was his rep - not a big arm. If running game doesnt work all year it gets real tough if qb is only reliable within 20 yards.

after a loss

can't remember the last I saaw such TDs

No gimmick offense - all real plays

Team played like a team - sharp, together, conditioned

We do have multiple playmakers

Good rebounds after bad plays/ improved every quarter

Only compromise - QB

This is Harbough era, folks, and it feels like it.

It has its ups and downs, good stretches and (sometimes long) bad ones.  Sure, I was disappointed that we didn't come out, play a championship-quality game, and blow Utah into the Great Salt Lake.  I understand focusing obsessively on the negatives, because fixing them is how we improve.

But you know, it was ok.  It was a first game, on the road, under a new coach, after a tough camp.  If you've played any sport, you know that losing a game you wanted badly to win really hurts.  But you also know that nothing washes the bad taste out of your mouth better than focusing on the next opponent and working hard to play well enough to win.  I'm sure the players and coaches will be ready to resume work by the time they've seen the Utah film and start looking at Oregon State.  They'll let it go and move on.  We can, too.
