Can we show Don Brown the door now, please?

Receivers have been wide open all over the field all day. Running backs running through enormous holes, untouched until well into the backfield. Explosive play after explosive play, same as last year.

   Every time this defense lines up against a quality offense, it gets fucking mangled, discombobulated, and thoroughly embarrassed. Sure, they're great against outmanned, outclassed opponents, but who gives a shit! 

  This is the second year that Ohio had their best performance against our, yet again, overrated defense. Can we please try something new and fresh? Not sure what defensive coaches are out there who would consider the DC job at Michigan as a step up, but it's time to do some research.

Defense got mauled...so has every defense that played Ohio State this year.  But the Defense didn't miss an extra point, defense didn’t fumble on a scoring drive, defense didn’t go offsides on a special teams punt play and give the ball back to Ohio State, defense didn’t get stuck on 4th and 1 and turn the ball over on downs, defense didn’t drop perfectly thrown passes from Patterson.  The Defense doesn’t have the highest ranked wide receiver recruiting class on their side of the ball. I pay very close attention.  If only we had Ohio State’s Defensive Coordinator...oh wait we did...and he got mauled by Ohio State too.  Ohio State has a better football program and that hasn’t changed despite the myopic posts by fans on here this week, and doesn’t look like it will be changing anytime soon.  But placing all the blame on Don Brown for all of the beat downs since 2001 is stupid.  So simmer down there.

This hear. This point is not to be overstated. In the game to decide the Big ten east Penn States defense showed up with a plan. Michigan did not and got out coached and made, yet again, to look like fools. That's on the DC. This is the most important game of the year, if you lay 2 eggs as a defense your ass gets canned. No matter how good you do the rest of the year, so sorry brown but you should be fired. If that happens and they lose next year than as much as I hate to say it but Harbaugh is the next to go.

It really is insane that he's putting so much man coverage out there.  All season to date, the D was bewildering QB's with zone, causing hesitation and sacks, and today they are again giving exactly what OSU expects and getting torched.  What the fuck are we thinking?

You’re an idiot. This game falls solely on D Line recruiting. Michigan’s D Line this year is not built to stop the run. Their DT’s are awful against elite Lines. Aubrey Solomon was a complete bust. Michigan needs an elite D Line they don’t have it. They have a great set of DE’s but they need Hinton and Smith to hit.

Don Brown is really putting Harbaugh in bad a spot. His defense kills crappy college offenses but has no answer for OSU's offense it seems like. Harbaugh will be damned if he does damned if he doesn't with Brown
