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

[bigdog10]

Not a fan of Shula but he's down the list on problems today

The offensive line was atrocious

Newton played like garbage

Kelvin dropped the TD

Stewart and Cam botched the read option.

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 agree, it shows the players failed to finish drives and execute.

His safety valve was the sideline. Or the dirt. All he had to do is throw it away. Sure, lots of things went wrong on that play but in the end it was a boneheaded play by Cam.

Dreadfully called game. Plain and simple.

 

Once the Panthers kept having redzone opportunities, and kicking Fg's and fumbling, all the air was taken out of them. Not surprising.

 

That's was just a piss poor performance. Seahawks didn't deserve to win.

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.

Mr Scot said it long ago, but I believe the situation is obvious to Rivera he is just too loyal to his guys to make moves like that, especially in mid season. Why do you think it took until last week for Godfrey to be cut?

To execute what exactly? Another failed long developing pass play? Another failed predictable run?

Cam is a playmaker. When the line collapses, he is still going to try to make a play. Everyone knows that. There was no underneath option for him. He could've just as easily thrown an INT while trying to throw it away also on that play. He tried to make a play and it ended up an INT. If he gets more help underneath, we don't see that happen.

To execute the plays that worked earlier in the drive.

His loyalty saved Thomad Davis's career. 

 

I see it from Ron's perspective. He felt like Shula was his best chance at saving his job. The biggest problem with defensive head coaches is they always think they can win it if the offense doesn't screw it up for them. It's a big mistake when touching a guy is a 5 yard penalty for a first down.

 

But yeah Ron is reactive, not proactive. It's a seriously problem when the league changes so much.

I'm not reading a single bit of that OP. Because all of the staff needs to go

Again it goes back to Shula getting stupid in the red zone. He has trouble calling the right plays at the right time. He was ultra conservative in the red zone. The plays he called today in the red zone were not plays that are going to win you games.

Sometimes Cam needs to help his teammates, not the other way around. Being a play maker doesn't excuse a careless play like that.

An end-zone read option is not a stupid call. A run up the middle in the red zone is not a stupid call. A pass to Kelvin Benjamin in the red zone is not a stupid call.

The shovel pass interception was a terrible play by Cam but it certainly isn't why we lost the game.  It should be obvious to everyone that our red zone offense has been pretty terrible this year so why do we keep doing the same crap that keeps not working?  Other than Cam sneaks, we have had zero success running the ball all year when we line up in power running formations, yet here we go again and again trying to turn lemons into lemonade.  How about al little misdirection or a roll out or any fuggin thing than a hopeless run into a mass  of humanity for no gain, or a loss, when we the fans all know that's whats about to happen.
