GAME Washington @ Michigan | 5pm PDT | ABC

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Oh -- so UM's game plan was to run the ball, draw the safeties closer to the line of scrimmage and then throw short. Does that make sense? You run the ball to draw the safeties closer to the line of scrimmage to run play action and take shots downfield. Not make it easier on the safeties to help out in both the run and the pass.

And if most of the throws were to RB's and screen passes -- how does he complete only 7 of 15 passes? Is that the same thing that happened when Cade faced Penn State and was 12-25 for 91 yards? He is also 4-10 combined for 70 yards against Wisconsin and Minnesota. Or is every game Cade starts against teams with an ounce of talent on defense, is the game plan to throw short and complete less than 50% of those short throws?

People see what he did against Rutgers and seem to forget, IT WAS RUTGERS. He has looked like absolute horseshit every game since. He is making UM fans miss Shea Patterson

Based on the limited use of the pass all together I don’t think your categorization of their plan is accurate. I think they were looking at those plays as additional ways to get the RBs open.

Do you honestly believe the BS you are speaking? It seems you want to believe so badly UM can throw the ball and they simply choose not to against every team but Rutgers.

I do give props to Cornelius Johnson -- he got open on a deep ball against NIU, but just like Shea, it was a poorly underthrown ball and it was incomplete.

Cade imitating all the former UM QB's -- Did his Joe Milton impression on that play -- Cornelius open by 5+ yards and he overthrows him.

You mean Cornelius pulling up on a pass he should have caught?

You really are delusional. He literally slowed down to almost a stop because it was underthrown. It is the only reason the DB had a chance to make a play.

He FINALLY completed a deep ball. .Johnson has been WIDE OPEN ALL GAME. He could have 200 yards receiving in the first half

Again, I don't think this game proved or disproved much. I can tell you a few things. 1. I've never, in two decades, seen a running game from Michigan do this to ANY team, MAC or otherwise. 2. Since Chad Henne was our QB I haven't seen deep balls consistently hit. Cade probably should have had two of three caught, one of those was a PI call from the defender, and the 3rd was close. No Qb is going to be perfect on all deep balls. 3. Pretty silly to try and downplay an offense scoring 63 points.

I now can see why people call you the biggest homer on the site. You have an excuse for everything. You could catch Cade McNamara mid stroke banging your wife you'd blame your wife for being in the way when he fell down with a hard on.

This was big for him it seems. Like their super bowl. Beating a shit team in a spiral that had just lost to a FCS team was B1G!

You think saying I'm going to wait to pass judgment until I see us play better teams makes me a homer? What/who are you, Wamu's burner account? My team just scored 63 points and you're sitting here trying to claim that because Cade didn't hit 100% of his deep throws that he's bad at throwing? That's silly and I think you know that.

He's an OSU fan. Not sure what the F he's doing. He seems really focused on trying to prove Michigan isn't good.

I'm saying he is bad at throwing downfield, because he has completed less than 50% of his passes against any P5, not named Rutgers. Then after missing Cornelius Johnson twice when he was wide open, once where the CB wasn't with in 5 yards of Johnson, he finally connected.
Instead, have blamed the WR and then tried to say it was a PI.

Homers gonna homer.

Cade had like 5 attempts over the middle and 3 of those were deep passes. Of those, he connected on 1 of the deep passes with a really nice ball, a PI penalty prevented another well thrown ball from being connected and the 3rd hit the receiver in the hands.

Of the other two passes over the middle, one was a really nice ball to a TE and another was another nice ball that was dropped.

WTF are you talking about? If he looked like Joe Milton out there lobbing balls 15 yards over their heads I'd agree, but Cade is throwing nice balls when he's asked to.

So you didn't watch the game today? When Cornelius was open by 5+ yards on the deep ball he could have walked into the end zone and he overthrew him? Or the deep ball early where Cornelius had to slow to almost a stop to try and make the play because it was under thrown?

Or do you just choose to ignore those?

The passing TD play was the 3rd largest passing play in Michigan history. But sure....nothing to write home about.

The passing TD play was the 3rd largest passing play in Michigan history. But sure....nothing to write home about.

It was the 3rd of 3 plays where Cornelius Johnson was WIDE OPEN -- It was the only one Michigan completed. First one was under thrown and CJ had to come to almost a complete stop at the end zone. 2nd one, CJ was open by over 5+ yards, yet he pulled a Joe Milton and airmailed him.

The TD was a solid pass, but again Cornelius was all alone.

It was almost as if NIU refused to cover CJ -- he could have had 250 yards receiving if Cade put the throws near him on the first two plays.

The running game is what is most impressive about UM. Will be quite interesting to see what they look like against a team with a solid from 7. If they run like they have been against Wisconsin, PSU, MSU -- I will be thoroughly impressed.
