Seemed as if they didn't care......Where is the passion? They need a "Bo type" or "Barwis type" to get them fired up with that "killer instinct"! Along with changing the OC, O Line Coach, perhaps others, and getting a good QB coach of course! And, I still question S&C given O and D line play and toughness.

It wasn't that they "didn't care". It was that they are a bad team. They can't move the pile on either side of the ball. They are not sound with their gap integrity on run D. They literally only have ONE CB on the entire roster that can cover anyone. Their safeties are terrible. I can go on and on..... It's very frustrating to watch a team historically built on their strength and power get pushed all over the field every week.

I think Shane was the bright spot in the disastrous game. The stage wasn't too big, he showed up, didn't try to do too much, he played a good game and gives hope at QB... let's just hope we get an OC and a QB's coach to groom and mold him. Last night was another example of the poor coaching in A2.... another example of a team not ready and not motivated on game day..... having been a die hard UofM fan for nearly 40 years, this shit has gone on too long!!! It started in the later years of Carr's tenure and has been the norm since.

Well put Scott.

Just when we thought that 8-5 was a bad year in 2012......
