Submitted by LSAClassOf2000 on

This will be your snowflake thread for the offense and offensive playcalling. Ugh.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'

Was there a man dismay'd?

Not tho' the soldiers knew

  Some one had blunder'd:

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die:

Into the valley of Death

  Rode the six hundred...

Gerg's units were statistically worse for sure.  In my opinion, though, Gerg was working with less talent, didn't get his own offensive staff, and probably had more meddling from the Head Coach than Borges does.  Taken in context, I think Borges' management of the offense this year to be on par with anything Gerg threw out there.

Positive: only 1 game left in the regular season for the offense to embarrass itself.

At Keats blocking seemed better today and I liked the screens.

Funches played horribly. It is amazing how often we are on 3rd and 10+.

Total and Utter Embarrasment.

This has to change now.  Borges and Funk need to GTFO.  We have never seen a Michigan offense play this poorly. Ever.

6 yards of O in the second half until the last drive. Refusal to be anything but predictable.  No toughness on the line. Joke. Sad. Pitiful. Crap. Garbage. Inexcusable mess. Junk.

Our running backs are useless? Green and Smith have ran well considering the blocking. They just aren't getting carries. Are you saying Funchess isn't a good receiver? Chesson has showed some bright spots. Our most promising receiver has been injured all year. I don't understand how you can say we don't have receivers

Al Borges is by far the worst but Brady is the head coach. I also think that Mattison lost it in the 4th quarter too. The play where Iowa ran for 14 yards with three offset down linemen was one of the worst defensive calls I have ever seen (I could have ran for ten) and that first down is what gave them the gimme FG. If Brady doesn't get rid of Borges (after the OSU loss), than he should be let go too. There aren't any excuses for the crap that us fans are forced to watch, week after week, from this offense...

Another great Borgy call was finally putting 4 WR on the field and then running the ball for a loss. If Borges isn't fired at the end of the year because Hoke is protecting him then Hoke needs to go.  Don't fall on your sword, Brady.  Just hire an offensive innovator and a better line coach and you can stay!
