Reasons why Shula is no longer needed in Carolina...

[Smithers]

Why people not saying anything about kelvin td pass drop that was huge changed the way the game turned out and was played

Maybe because it was good defense by Sherman. And maybe because the other 21 starters all made a mistake at some point today. And maybe because Shula's mistakes have spanned the course of a season and a half now.

Exactly. With all the money we've poured into Stewart he should have been spending it on scientific research to give him Nightcrawler powers to bamf through the wall of 11 defenders stacked on the goal line.

 

Maybe if our cheap GM didn't give him the worst line in the league this wouldn't be a problem. But Gettleman is blameless. Lynch Shula!

Did Shula not know about our line or did he call the play knowing they couldn't execute it?

Are you saying that Kelvin Benjamin's dropped TD, Cam's turnovers, and the defense sucking at the end didn't have anything to do with it? We called a good enough game to win. If you take any of those away, we win.

KB drop is 1 play as already stated. Cam's turnovers were also within terrible play calling. Look at my first paragraph where I state we don't put in a safety valve for Cam. Defense was great most of the game. they only gave up 13 points today. 6 for almost the whole game. That's outstanding.

I'm worried about our redzone converstion. We can't win games if we can't score. But should we blame KB for dropping a crucial TD pass, or Shula for failing to score?

The line wasn't a problem. Stewart's day is evidence of that.

Cam's turnovers were completely on him (not simply taking a sack, botching a handoff) so he isn't blameless here, but everything Shula needs to happen for his game plan to be successful happened today outside of those turnovers and STILL he couldn't put the offense in the end zone.

Maybe he felt Stewart was playing good enough to give him a chance there.

Stewart had a good day in spite of the line, and when he needed it the most, it failed him.

If Cam doesn't turn the ball over, we win. Plain and simple.

And Shula went overboard with the Read option and run game today, when the WR's were doing well early in the game.

 

This had the effect, of Cam going from a confident, accurate, pocket QB, to running, scrambling gun slinger, trying to make things happen, but mostly handing off to his RB.

Interesting. The fumble was from a read-option play, which had worked very well up to that point. The other pass was him trying, in vain, to avoid a sack. Neither of those are due to playcalling.

58 minutes of outstanding play is not enough to win. When it mattered, they failed. That's on them, not Shula.

Also on our last drive, deep in our own zone around the 25. Everyone knows we need to pass. Shula calls read option. loll

The read option play shouldn't have been called on that play. Cam also didn't have a safety valve on his INT. Again. 3 trips in the redzone. 3 FGS. All you need to know.

I had a sinking feeling in my gut when we hired him as a QB coach. He's not innovative enough to take advantage of the rules changes in the passing game. 

 

Ron Rivera is doing a horrible job of realizing the situation. We do not have the personnel to win a game with under a minute left. He isn't maximizing every play of every game.

ive finally come around. its time. its well past time. i dont think it will happen this week. but win or loss, if we struggle against the Saints to score points, Shula's head needs to roll that night.
