Man the hate on Gardner is fucking ridiculous. His line is shit and play calling isn't helping him. He's gonna be a good qb, maybe great, next year. Spare him please.

OK so we just lost at home.  To an unranked team.  Scoring only 13 against a team that doesn't play defense.  With a bordlerine lame duck coach.  Missing their starting QB.

 

This is where our program is.

 

TWO PLAYS away from being 4-5 right now with losses to Akron and UConn.  No one would argue things were OK if that was the case.  Two plays away from every Michigan fan in total meltdown, instead of only 2/3 of us.

This is not on the players, unless you wanna put this on the o-line.  The guys played hard.  The defense didn't play great, but more than good enough to win.  The playcalling and the o-line are horrible.  We got the ball multiple times on Nebraska's side of the field and couldn't score.  We got the ball on their 35 yard line and still barely made a field goal after getting negative yards.  This is all on the playcalling and o-line.  Funchess played well, Ross played well, a number of guys had good games.  But, our o-line and playcalling is so bad it simply can't be overcome at this point.

Why the hell would anyone want to play for Al Borges? Honestly. He has completely taken out any fun in the game at it appears the players agree. They don't even look like they're enjoying themselves.

Where's Space Coyote now? F-bomb Borges and his stupid rotund arrogant rear. You were dead wrong. -69 yards rushing in 2 games. This should NOT be a requisite for rebuilding at Michigan. To play to a draw with Akron, then UConn. Then lose to 65 scholarship PSU. Then get pounded by MSU. Now lose to a disaster Nebraska team. Laughable how any of you look at this product and say, "Let's keep this going because the is so much evidence this will get better."

Al Borges is working with an invalid, outdated model to formulate his gameplan. In his mind, he's doing what he thinks is best. And it's absolutely atrocious. He's not gonna change after 30 years. There is no way that this should be part of the plan given our roster and being Michigan. Even above average coaches wouldn't have let the last 5 games happen.

Never been sooo happy after such a horrible game...not stressing it out anymore because we have become Notre Dame and karma of talking shit and not backing it up has caught up with us...In great Hoke's words " we did not execute well"...its okay there is always a next year.

This offense is getting worse by the year and Borges just sucks.  Play loses yards so why not run the same play to the other side.  I thought Hoke was the right guy but with the way he let's Fat Al have complete control over offense I am questioning him to..   Anyways this is getting old Hoke using the same old fckn excuses and not being honest with everyone And he needs to be accountable also and call out the coaches cause this isn't Meeeeechigan football.   Even Mattison pisses me off every other team seems to be aggressive and he just looks like he is content with playing a prevent defense.   The coaches have no balls and our way to conservative and don't try shit!

We fire one coach and we get this staff that has no game management and gets out coached by a guy who was all but fired after week 2.I bet DB is in some Dominos making a pizza and not giving a crap about this trash on the field.

This defense plays with no aggression. I would be willing to bet MSU averages more PBUs per game than UM has accumulated throughout the entire season. 5-10 yd cushions all day. LBs are soft an cant get off blocks. DL doesn't generate pressure. Why is Mattison getting a pass. This TEAM is BAD.
