Can you just let fans be upset and vent after a loss to a mediocre SEC team?

A legendary collapse to a mediocre team when Michigan had every opportunity to put the game away. All of the complaining and criticism tonight is 100% justified

Yes, we are. We all thought we were going to be relevant and competitive and in the mix for titles. Instead, we are no better than what we were. Actually, we are worse, because of all the noise we made about coming back. Pathetic. And very sad.

I figured it was possible that things wouldn’t instantly be fixed when Jim came back...But the overall attitude of the fan base, as a whole, about what his return would bring has become more and more embarrassing to carry around.

The offense was so hard to watch, I turned it off at the beginning of Q4. 8-5 is a pretty mediocre result. The consolation is that the team was very young this year, and I think they’ll turn it around next year.

I came to the boards to read intelligent thoughts about the football game and how we can actually improve and found this. I just don’t understand some Michigan fans.

No kidding! There are teams each of these three years who have done more with less talent than we have. Do we ever make it back? What's the indication that anything is going to change? Coach can be inflexible when he's winning. When you're losing, you also start losing the benefit of the doubt.

Me? Nope. I wanted to hear other fans’ thoughts on how we can get better - exactly what I said in my post. My way of getting past a loss is to think about what needs to improve. I prefer that to just saying nasty things, but I see that not everyone feels that way.

What needs to improve? There is literally so much to list I don't know if Harbaugh can fix it. So much seems to be systematically wrong. We had weeks to prepare our offense and it looked pathetic.

We sound like Tennessee at this point. Our offensive line is going backwards, our QB play has become shakier and shakier. We need to find a few new coaches to come in and spark the offense if we want to do better than 8-5.

Jesus - now some of you are attacking me? I want to win and I’m pissed off too but I don’t understand threads like this, that are basically ‘we’re so sad, we want to feel worse’ instead of actually talking about how you get better. Is it a total clean out of our offensive staff? Is it just Drevno? Is it Harbaugh taking over play calling? And is Patterson really a potential answer? Or are we mired with our current line personnel?
