  1. This is such an odd feeling and one I’ve never experienced as a fan of any team. Maybe the closest is the 2010 season because I was a kid and all I knew up to that point was Texas winning. Never watched a game and thought losing was a possibility (except against OU)and I figured that’s how it always would be. Then 2010 happened and it rocked my world. Since then, I was beaten into submission to understand that the world I lived in from 2004-2009 was not a given and it would be tough sledding and anytime I built up hope (2016 ND game, 2019 sugar bowl, 2021 when we started off hot and were up 3 scores against OU), it was quickly flushed down the toilet. This was the first year I’ve built up what felt like legitimate hopeful expectations because it finally made sense. Never in a million years could I have expected Arch to look like this and i keep coming back here each day almost expecting an update that he was just low on battery and they charged him up and now things are back to normal. I imagine everyone else is in the same boat because of the panicked tone in everyone’s posts. I am now fully expecting a Doodoo bowl game against SHSU where we don’t cover and arch looks maybe a hair better than last week and just good enough to keep the job going into Florida but not enough to inspire any confidence is us and from there, well we might just be fucked. Everything I’ve thought to this point has been wrong so we’ll see if that continues.
  2. Well, how bout all 3 at the same time lol
  3. Why would we retool the game plan when literally most of the plays are there if just an average QB is behind center? These aren’t other worldly throws needed. Arch can’t even throw 5-10 yard outs or screen passes behind the LOS. Why would we purposely anchor ourselves to a lower caliber of offense because the kid can’t make routine plays or throws? I think we can all agree that Caldwell or someone else on the team can probably make those throws. We need to give arch one more week to see if there’s any noticeable improvement physically and mentally but if not, then we need to move onto the next guy ASAP. This team is built to win now and Arch’s play completely eliminates any chance of that. I usually shit on Sarks playcalling but this season you can see the open guys clear as day without even needing the all 22 view. It’s been the theme since the first throw of the season where he skipped it to Wingo. Just that on repeat for 3 straight weeks but getting worse.
  4. And I’m fine with Sarks play calling for these games. These are about execution since we can simply choke out teams of this caliber with our defense. If our guys can’t beat their guys with their execution then we’re just fucked. No need to get crazy with the gameplan and scripts against these Doodoo teams when we can win with one hand tied behind our backs, which it feels like we literally have been with the QB play.
  5. I still can’t believe this is happening. The game before when Caldwell came in for a few drives and threw some passes it was like a revelation since we haven’t even been able to complete EASY passes this year. Just simple slants. Stuff you take for granted but damn, we literally couldn’t complete anything yesterday. If it looks anything like that again next game, there is no choice left but to move on from Arch immediately. That sucks to think and say but that performance yesterday was Garrett Gilbert getting booed off the field level or Swoopes against Arkansas like someone said earlier. Average QB play gets this team to 9 wins by default with the defense. Good Play, 10+ wins and a potential deep run in the playoff. Great play, championship easy. Right now we’re seeing something worse than below average play. I like blaming sark about everything when I can but the plays have literally been there all season and arch can’t hit a single one. People complained about leaning on the run game early yesterday and not letting arch throw more but fuck, then everyone saw what happened when he did that. You think that getting the running game going early would build some confidence in him that he doesn’t need to press and do everything himself and somehow he was worse! This offense needs an identity and needs to find what it is with arch back there and it seems like sark is exhausting all the options but we’re getting close to the end of them. Maybe we just lean on running him like Notre Dame with Leonard last year. SH is a BAD team, if he can’t put up 250+ yards and above 60% completion through 3 quarters then get Caldwell ready to go for Florida

    Both of those teams are dogshit and Marcus freeman is a loser that lucked into the championship game last year. Guy is not a good coach and never has been

    Notre dame is dogshit
  8. Let the backup QBs get some snaps, fuck
  9. Take him out. You can’t leave him in any longer or else we may actually lose this game
  10. This really does feel just like Garrett Gilbert the game he got booed off the field
  11. Bench him. He needs a reset. This is nosediving in real time
  12. I just can’t believe it. I’m literally shell shocked watching my TV right now. He’s so bad and I never ever thought that was a legit possibility.
  13. Arch is bad. We’re blaming sark but arch is making terrible throws and even worse decisions. Plenty of plays have been there and he’s not hitting them
  14. .
  15. Blocking all around is bad. All units just can’t block rn
  16. Holy hell he’s terrible man.
  17. That’s the exact reason NOT to punt brother.
  18. Yall can literally never be appeased. We either don’t run enough or run too much. The hole and the first down were there and Clark just fell over
  19. Jesus man stay on your feet. The hole was there
  20. Now I don’t feel as bad for making the fire Jeff Banks thread. Maybe I’ll make another!
  21. Damn, forgot that they ran the score up that high last week. Kalen really let those poor future mailmen feel his wrath.
  22. Wisconsin sucks eggs. This will still probably be a blowout on the same level as last week.
  23. Mateer threw 4 balls last night that should have been picked (1 was). His decision making is questionable. That deep slant where the WR had 2 yards of separation and the CB was behind him and mateer threw the ball on a line right at the CB is a prime example. If he had some touch and lofted it up more that probably wouldve been a TD but he looked like he just locked in and threw the route like he normally would when practicing against air. He tries to force things that aren’t there. This Michigan defense is not good and still living off the reputation of 2 years ago when none of those guys are still there (and they’re not cheating anymore.) I mean, OU only scored 7 more points against them than New Mexico did the week before, and NM was on the road in the big house. OUs running game was actually nonexistent outside of battering Ram mode mateer. don’t even need to talk about the god awful offense Michigan showed but there was no fire power out there, coaching or players.
  24. They don’t seem to care that he’s gotte. His head kicked in this entire 2nd half. Surely that won’t be a problem the rest of the season
  25. I wonder how Larry Ellisons gf feels about this
