Uhh...coaching might need a shake up on O this year...
September 16th, 2017 at 3:15 PM ^
Harbaugh not making his money this year. This offense and the playcalling is terrible.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:26 PM ^
What the hell happened to the tight ends in our offense??? One completion to a TE this game if I recall correctly. Too many passes to the outside. When we through crossing routes seemed to be successful. For all the bitching about Speight, we can't put this one on him. O has some serious work to do. Purdue looks threatening after these two games.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Because he has a quarterback that is entirely unreliable.
If you want to make the argument that he should do something about THAT, that's another argument.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:13 PM ^
He has 5 scholarship QBs on the roster (and one more that he converted to TE), and he's been here three years. They are apparently ALL unreliable. Is this the best he can do?
September 16th, 2017 at 7:27 PM ^
Year 3 and this is the QB play we get?
September 16th, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
Look at Jake Rudock his first year. Jake was really bad at times in the first few games. Then things clicked and he was great. The underlying issue is QB talent. J. Okorn looks out of control when he is on the field. Brandon Peters is just a redshirt freshman. So Speight is the reasonable option. The problem is he is not very good at ths point. If things don't change then we will lose games (like last year) that we should win. You cannot coach a guy to be better than he has potential for.
I am hoping Speight either gets it or the coaches dumb down the play book to make the game easier for him.

Utter bullshit. Speight has missed some throws and made some mistakes, but he knows the offense and has made the right reads consistently. What hasn't been consistent is disjointed play calling. I wish they'd try to establish a base style or concept instead of this Borges grab bag garbage.
September 16th, 2017 at 6:01 PM ^
As I allready wrote. The nine million dollar man should give fifty percent back at least for what we are seeing on offense. I believe he is allowing Drevno to call the plays. Well that obviously is not going to cut it. Our athletes saved this team, but I would think by know something needs to change on the offensive side of things. Mr Harbaugh your offense is a complete running joke and I really hope you see that. If something isn't changed you are conceding losses to other schools and are 100% responsible. It is almost like you are handicapping your own team. The play calling is just plain stupid sometimes. We need three yards so we throw a fade out of bounds to try to gain thirty. Our offensive coaches are soft and it shows. Hamilton and Drevno are just to fuckin soft. No softy's on the defensive side of the ball and it shows....right. If Harbaugh makes no changes there is no reason to watch this team anymore. It also is very unfair to the defensive players and some O players. Bench the shit coaches, change the play calling and put some othe rplayers who are not so fuckin soft. Also recruit a top rated pro style QB. I mean like the number one or two in the country. How... secure them however you have to. Could B. Peters do as well as Speight?. I believe so, as he could do some stuff with his legs. Robinson thhrew as well as Speight, but fuck he was the toughest runner in Michigan History if you ask me because of his size. One thing we all know is the QB whisperer is falling way short.
September 16th, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
"Trust the coaches!!" Or
"Oh, you know more than Harbaugh and Drevno about coaching? No? Then STFU!"
Seems like the people spouting that nonsense have gone quiet.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:04 PM ^
You don't know more than the coaches. STFU!, you all sound like some petulant little babies.
Harbaugh is a great coach, if any of the crybabies on this board knew better you wouldn't have time to be on here spouting this nonsense...
You'd be coaching. Instead you're crying about 16 point wins against a service academy.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:17 PM ^
Let's see how you feel when Michigan loses 4-5 games once the B1G season starts.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
Should I call the Whaaaambulance for you now?
September 17th, 2017 at 12:39 AM ^
They're losing 3 games max, and I mean max. More likely one or two. And when that happens, not come back to this board please
September 16th, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
We thought so, but is about time he proves it here. I see a lack of discipline, constant poor time management, and today a total shit show related to time outs.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
Snowflakes gonna snowflake.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
September 17th, 2017 at 12:41 AM ^
Let me guess, no college education? Truck driver?
September 17th, 2017 at 7:41 AM ^
And I'll be dropping your mom back off later today.
September 16th, 2017 at 10:09 PM ^
We're still here and we're not going anywhere
September 17th, 2017 at 12:38 AM ^
It's not trust the coaches. It's you're wrong and shut the fuck up. The coaches are making the right decisions, not because they're the coaches, but because they're the right decisions. We're 3-0.
September 16th, 2017 at 6:58 PM ^
I love me some hysteria. Thanks for feeding that jones.
I'll admit that it is more fun coming from people who are openly fans of other teams, but I'll take it from faux fans of Michigan.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:18 PM ^
It's so frustrating to Michigan this year. Lots of mistakes. It is like they are playing a bunch of 1st and 2nd year players...
September 16th, 2017 at 7:30 PM ^
Let Drevno handle the tight ends and let Hamilton have a chance at playing calling. There hasn't been any improvement of the offense and changes need to be made now. No more excuses about we're young. That's the way loser talk.
September 17th, 2017 at 12:35 AM ^
Do you have amnesia or a just an IQ below 75? Try to think about previous coaches and put things in perspective. We're 3-0. Seriously, you're making Michigan fans look bad with such idiocy.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:15 PM ^
WE WANT BAMA
September 16th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
That was longest 3 hours of my life
September 16th, 2017 at 3:23 PM ^
I usually re-watch wins Sunday morning with an eye for the line play, I don't think I can suffer through that again and certainly won't subject my wife and kids to it.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
It was a penetration mess.
September 17th, 2017 at 1:20 AM ^
if I had a nickel for every time...
September 16th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
Defense: good
Offense: file not found
September 16th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
Pls predict: at Madison, at Happy Valley, home against OSU. Any gimmes this year besides Rutgers?

It's embarrassing that we couldn't even spell his name right today on the screens.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
We could be Nebraska.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
This made me chuckle. But no thanks!
September 16th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
I still say get Drevno back on the sideline. Put someone else in the booth if you want someone up there.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:20 PM ^
Move Drevno!!
September 16th, 2017 at 3:38 PM ^
bring back jedd fisch....
September 16th, 2017 at 4:43 PM ^
Even with a quarterback.
September 16th, 2017 at 4:47 PM ^
Holy shit.
What kind of hot garbage is UCLA's defense?
September 16th, 2017 at 3:47 PM ^
But what is Hamilton's responsibility in the play calling? I know he's the passing game coordinator, but how much (if any) of this falls on him?
September 16th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
Harbaugh makes all playcalls with input from everyone.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:02 PM ^
You sure about that? If so, a significant shift from last year.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:02 PM ^
You sure about that? If so, a significant shift from last year.
September 16th, 2017 at 5:39 PM ^
That's not a change from last year at all. Last year Drev and Fisch would give him a play and he'd choose.
September 17th, 2017 at 6:25 PM ^
Not from everything I heard last year.
What was widely reported was Drevno called over 2/3 of the plays with Fisch and Harbaugh splitting the rest, in that order.
That was even confirmed by others on this board, some of whom have their own blog and sources confirming.
Where did you read/hear that each gave a play and Harbaugh chose? That seems highly improbably and quite impractical.
September 16th, 2017 at 6:12 PM ^
If Harbaugh is calling those plays he is fucking his team over big time. Wilton Speight is not Tom Mfing Brady. His receivers are soft especially crawford. Air force was blitzing their corners in run defense and we were still running the ball because the air attack is a fucking joke most of the time. Black is young and perry is competent. All the rest of the targets should go to TE"s. Fuck it. I will just leave the analyzing to people who know more than me, but our offense is a joke and a four year old can see that. I am pretty sure Mr. Harbaugh that peoples patience with your offense is flat out running out.
September 16th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
We have no variety in play calling. Cant get by running on every first down for 1 yard.
September 16th, 2017 at 7:10 PM ^
This is the key. Speight was much better throwing on first or second downs, especially when he could use play action. Playcalling got him into a lot of do-or-die third downs, where he is weakest.
In 26 sets of downs, Michigan got first down 12 times when they didn't face third down, and only 5 when they did (plus one 4th down).
