Our offense is really bad. 331 yards against Maryland is an embarrassment. If we averaged that every game, we'd be the 114th ranked offense in the country.
The passing game is outright horrible. Our receivers should getting open every play against Maryland, but they're not. I can't imagine any of these guys getting drafted in the first two days of this year's draft.
We tried two deep passes against MD and our receivers were absolutely blanketed. The completion to Collins was well covered and we just got lucky. Our play designs never get open guys streaking across the middle that Patterson is able to find.
Let's make it a stop smoking campaign that uses the players as spokesmen. Register it as a 501c3 and I can direct some of my company's annual donation budget to it.
He's essentially saying Ronnie can't handle criticism so send it to him instead. I'm sure this isn't what he intended, but the poor phrasing of this post sure makes it sound like it.
The idea isn't bad but the execution was. He could have said "Ronnie is focused on Notre Dame so please send any other criticism to me" and it would have been 10x better.
For the first time all year, our offense looked good. One half of good offense is not enough data to say we're better than ND, but the improvement is certainly encouraging. With home field advantage, I'd expect us to be favored by one or two points. This game is very winnable.
What are the odds Dylan McCaffrey gets the start next week? Shea is not improving and the coaches have already shown willingness to bench him. If McCaffrey is 100%, he needs to get serious consideration as QB1.
If they are online courses, they are a fucking joke.
I highly doubt the FOIA office consulted anybody from the athletic department before denying this request. They are some of the laziest fuckers in the state of Michigan. If they have an excuse not to serve a request, you can 100% guarantee they will deny the request without thinking twice.
I hope Don Brown chewed out Hutchinson for his tackling form on that fourth down. I don't care if it worked against Artur Sitkowski. JK Dobbins is not just going to fall down like that.
Eh, I'm a pessimist, but if we can give them the same type of Molly whopping that Ohio State has been giving teams this last couple weeks, I think that would be a real good sign. Let's strive to beat Rutgers by at least 40 points.
Not sure how you think it's a grave sin to suggest a former NFL player may have CTE, but to each their own. I was most embarrassed when we got dismembered by Ohio State for the seventh year in a row.
"Former NFL player experiences mental decline as he gets older" is not a far-fetched headline. However, it's impossible to make a judgement on that looking at the program from the outside. I wish I could trust Warde Manuel to be on top of things like this, but after he was caught with his pants down when Beilein left, I'm skeptical he's close enough to the coaches to detect something like that.
That would be idiotic. These guys didn't practice it at all during spring and fall camp. There's no way we could bring it back in one week. Also, maybe you forgot but the reason we hired a new OC this year is because last year's offense stunk.
I don't believe this at all. There's no way our D-Line is worse than CMU's when we have their best D-lineman from last year coming off the bench for us.
My question is why did Oliver Martin run for the hills if Sainristil wasn't good enough to get any targets. Have we known we weren't going to be utilizing slot receivers all spring?
Are you sure this is his brother? His complaints may have merit, but he doesn't sound particularly intelligent here. Also, if you're a Shea fan, I'd expect your chief gripe to be with the offensive line always missing their assignments.
Also, Shea has been inaccurate on numerous throws this year. Trying to blame the team's struggles entirely on Gattis and Harbaugh is just foolish.
Yep, this was incredibly suspicious when it happened too. Harbaugh found out he was going to Maryland then immediately decided to hire him. I guess he was thinking if he's good enough for Maryland, he's good enough for us.
A cannon could be what we need with our receivers. Just have Nico run to the end zone and let Milton launch it. 33% interception, 33% TD, 33% pass interference.
He doesn't have the same fire anymore. I can't pretend to know why, but it's obvious it's gone. Remember when he was punching Wilton speight to get him hyped up before the first game of the season and then yelling at the refs all season long? Haven't seen anything like that in subsequent seasons. Maybe he realized every other team was cheating so it wasn't worth trying to win.
Meyer is a better coach than Harbaugh. That's just objective fact. If you don't want him leading our team, you're not a real fan and you can get fucked.

Anybody who thinks this was an acceptable offensive performance for Michigan is out of their mind.
You're a broken brain. If it's okay to call Draymond an "epic douchebag", it's okay to call Curry "Stephanie."
Me more of a dork, you can't.
The admissions department doesn't exactly put out a press release when they reject somebody. What makes you so sure we would hear about it?
Schlissel is a fucking scumbag. It's no secret that he doesn't care about the success of the athletic program.
Patterson is no threat to keep, and Maryland is teeing off on our RBs because of it.
You're not wrong.
Congratulations to deadspin's leadership for getting all these idiots to leave without having to pay them severance.
It's a shame Brian owns this blog. Nothing can save us from his pompous soapboxing.
Does it though? If we pay big bucks to the current players, we can point at them while recruiting and achieve the same effect.

Yeah, and the phrasing of his post makes it sound like he wants Ronnie to be left alone because he can't handle criticism.
At some point, you have to let your kids fight their own battles. Ronnie is at the age where he can fight his own battles.

Bell's dad is not doing him any favors here.
Also, Bell is our best receiver so you would have to be an idiot to want him to quit the team.
Probabilistically, going for two is the right thing.
This is really simple math. If you can't comprehend it, you are incredibly unintelligent.

I highly doubt PSU considers a loss to the fourth best team in the conference to be catastrophic. We're not Rutgers.
That's because you're soft. If our players are soft, they shouldn't be on the team.
How dare you sir.
I'd bet good money you're fat.
Running the clock out with 55 seconds and 3 time outs is a coward move.
Patterson is broken. Eubanks should be playing soccer. The fumbles are not an anomaly.

No they don't; they need doubt to make them work harder in practice. You can't beat good teams with confidence alone; that only works on girls.
I would have had our line at even. Not sure how three bad games and one good game gets us -5 against a solid Iowa team.

Do you have a personal vendetta against Spath or something? It was a good article with more insight than the vast majority of posts on this board.
Edit: I meant to reply to that Mantis Toboggan dumbfuck.

What the fuck are you even talking about

Fuck off.

I'm pretty umbig11 was being sarcastic. Jansen clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
Where'd you get your medical degree?
The ACL is on the front of the knee. Hyperextension would damage the PCL, not the ACL.
It can't hurt to conceal this information, though. Of all things to criticize Harbaugh for, this one is pretty weak.
Yep, this was incredibly suspicious when it happened too. Harbaugh found out he was going to Maryland then immediately decided to hire him. I guess he was thinking if he's good enough for Maryland, he's good enough for us.
Completely agree. I could forgive it if it was a close game, but that was just plain dirty.
Orgeron got his dick stomped on last year by Bama. LSU is stuck in the same hell we are where they can never show up for a big game.
A cannon could be what we need with our receivers. Just have Nico run to the end zone and let Milton launch it. 33% interception, 33% TD, 33% pass interference.
That was Christian Turner on the tackle. It was a good tackle, though.
No thanks
Honestly, he'd probably handle the pressure our O-line lets through even worse than Patterson.
If Justin Fields is playing in our offense, he has as many turnovers as TDs.
Did you not watch the Florida game last year? Our team cared so little that our undraftable starting RB sat out to preserve his health.
He doesn't have the same fire anymore. I can't pretend to know why, but it's obvious it's gone. Remember when he was punching Wilton speight to get him hyped up before the first game of the season and then yelling at the refs all season long?

If every whiny, perpetually offended, deadbeat, halfwit loser like yourself went and rooted for Northwestern, Michigan would be much better off.
