Keep hope alive!

This game is very winnable. Offensive playcalling needs to get more creative and we're good.

Yeah. These WRs aren't really open. Bryce isn't prime Cam where he can play an entire game of tight windows. Nothing easy.

He's definitely better in the middle.

Or Laviska Shenault against the Saints last season. Just saying

SON OF A....

Gotta run a rub route here. These guys can't get open. Thielen is the only WR that understands route concepts. He's just a little slow.

Stacks and screens worked early. Saints never stopped either. Panthers just stopped running them when Zavala got a false start penalty. Not sure if Reich is a good play caller.

All I wanted this season was an NFL offense. I guess that's too much to ask for.

Reich out here calling screens to Thielen when Laviska destroyed the Saints on that play last year. Make it make sense.

Agree. And they HAVE to scheme guys open. This is so reminiscent of Rivera. Every body run your routes and get open. No one can get open but Theilen. Unfortunately he lacks speed so he doesn't stay open.

Yeah. I think they should mix it up a little now.

Hill did a good job holding on to the ball. That was a forced fumble type of hit!

definitely a catch

And you're an A-hole! interpreting the negative like your character defines. I love Shaq as a player. I just think he's out of position.

Agree. But not in the middle. Wish they'd move him back to the outside. I think he's more effective there. He doesn't play downhill and that's a MUST in the middle. He tends to wait on runners to come to him.

Don't like Shaq that much in the middle anyway. just saying

They haven't stopped the stack. They haven't stopped the screens. Keep running them until they figure it out. Then counter it. Don't stop what's working just because...

Gotcha. Not much of an advantage then.

Didn't Zavala play LG with Icky at LT at NC State? Wouldn't that make more sense?

From my POV, it looked like AR slowed down before crossing the LOS. If so, he learned a valuable lesson. Cam learned the same one.

Don't see it that way. I think Bryce is not on the same page with his WRs yet. He's seeing things they aren't. Once they start working together, we'll see the offense improve. This defense is good enough to win games - as long as they don't allow the CBs to lose games.

This ball better go to Horton

Michigan needs to keep feeding Blake Corum. Bad things happen when he isn't getting the ball. They really aren't that good.

I agree that a Tedd Ginn Jr. forces defenses to respect the deep ball. He was a 50/50 catch guy but you had to respect his speed every play. A safety had to stay over the top because your CB was not gonna be able to run with him if he was within 10 yards of the LOS. Bates wouldn't have had the option of cheating up if there was a guy that made him stay deep. Hopefully Chark can fill that role. If not, then the FO needs to find that guy. Even Byrd would have helped yesterday.
