    There's plenty of blame to go around on the offense. Everyone thinks they're a football genius and can correctly diagnose what exactly the problem was. It's Miley, it's the line, it's the playcalling. Blah blah blah. Nothing was good enough.

    They have a bye week to figure this out. The past decade plus the bye week deserved a "can we beat bye" joke. Now we have a real football coach that you can expect to utilize the bye and fix things. And he better or it's going to be door ass out.

    Disagree.

    The defense played well enough and the bye week will not "fix" an anemic offense.

    HTH
    And yet 0 bye weeks was enough for the defense to go from not being able to stop a division 2 school to getting praise about how they played well enough to win against a good PAC-12 team.
    Stanford is not a good Pac-12 team.
    disagree

    Good Pac-12 teams don't lose at home to Sark.

    Simple fact, case closed, end of discussion.
    I'll still take Stanford's D over every pac12 offense this season. Dominant D-line, best open-field tackling by a mile, always in position to make a play. Their offense isn't special but it doesn't need to be. Shaw being arrogant against USC doesn't change that.
    Unless Stanford fired Shaw, they're still fucked.
    Somehow with Shaw, they've made 3 straight BCS bowls. They have a tough schedule this year, but they are a good team.
    They weren't a good team last year and they're worse this year.

    Hope this helps.

    dude you are fucking legitimately retarded sometimes

    Shaw isn't perfect, but he's way better than you give him credit for.

    He set the 2012 national championship on fire by playing Nunes.
    He backed into choking the Rose Bowl last year.
    He's already lost at home to Sark this year.

    Considering what Shaw inherited from Harbaugh, his run has been disappointing.

    This bored has apparently never heard of Lloyd Carr and Larry Coker.

    Stanford is good, but not that good. They were good enough to expose a lot of our weaknesses, but that wasn't last year's Stanford. Definitely not Harbaugh's Stanford. So maybe that just goes to show how far we have to go. Luckily, we have a coach that can get us to improve over the course of the season. I still think we can win 10 games this year. Maybe it's the doog in me, but I haven't been impressed with many teams in the Pac-12 and I think we have a shot at a decent conference record.

    Also, I think it should be said that Pete needs another offseason to really get these guys playing at (or somewhere closer to) the level that we expect them to. He knows what excellence looks like and what we need to do to get there.

    Lloyd Carr won an NC, and was probably the ceiling of the Michigan program in modernity.

    I bet Michigan fans would've LOVED to have Carr these past 7 seasons, App State game be damned.

    If Harbaugh was still coaching that Stanford team, they run us out of the fucking stadium. Simple fact.
