8 minutes to go in the 3rd, down 3 scores, your top two RBs are standing on the sidelines injured. Even when our RBs were healthy we still couldn't run the ball effectively. So what does Shula do... run straight up the middle of course! Result is a half yard gain.

 

Well damn, that was a completely wasted play, and the game clock is ticking down and we need to put up some points in a hurry. What to do next... oh I know, let's run it straight up the middle again! More time wasted netting only a 1-2 yard gain, putting all the pressure on Cam on 3rd and long.

 

But Cam being Cam he steps up, throws a laser and converts on 3rd down. Shortly afterwards we're in a 3rd and 4 and Shula calls this toss sweep play that has no chance and is a total disaster. We end up kicking a FG. At this point we're almost into the 4th quarter, that drive burned through a huge chunk of time and yet we're still down 3 scores.

 

It's situations like this that make it blatantly obvious to me that Shula needs to go. He needs a completely suffocating elite defense to win games. If an opposing team even puts up even a medium range of 21-22 points it's an automatic loss.

 

His whole strategy is to grind it out and win these 10-9 or 17-13 games. As soon as the opponent is able to put up a few scores, the game is all but over. Even being down 3 scores, he still refuses to adjust. Still the same drag-the-game-out horribly predictable and unimaginative playcalling. Still no sense of urgency, plays coming in late, ball not being snapped until under 10 seconds on the play clock.

 

It's sad when being down 2 scores at halftime means the game is basically already over. And yeah yeah I know Byron Bell rabble rabble rabble.

My god, can we see what Ramsdell can do for this offense?!?  Gettleman, fire Shula and get someone in there that understands personnel.

 

The second week in a row where I hear the commentators talk about how the opposing OC adjusts his gameplan to mask a weakness (rooked OT in this game).  

 

Our OC?  Square pegs in round holes.

 

It's getting old and FAST...

His offense becomes hopeless when the defense can't stop.  I feel like we are so entirely built on the DL that the entire team hinges on it's play.  That's not always a good thing especially when we're trying this whole clock killing methodical approach with this makeshift OL.

 

Even beyond sucking, Shula is just not a fit here IMO.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.

      Not even what that's about. Moreover, remember that search engines are a tool.
