Shula's offenses have never scored their season average in the playoffs. He has averaged about a touchdown less come playoff time.

Over his career as an OC he has averaged about 10 points a playoff game, also the Panthers score from last year.

Will Shula finally put together a solid playoff offensive showing today? Will be a major step in the right direction and may save his job.

If we get to a 3rd or 4th and 1 I really hope we just let Cam keep it up the middle. Tom Brady has made a career off converting those no reason for us to not let Cam get that 1st down or touchdown. Seems like Shula just gets to cocky with the "power run" philosophy and it always screws us.

Let's hope everyone has a big game on offense including the coaches. On a day like today though 14 points could win it. We have to shut them down so that our offense can get plenty of opportunities. Points may be tough to get. I can't see Arizona getting a bunch unless we make mistakes or give up big plays. And if we do, do we deserve to win? We need to be aggressive on defense and cause our own turnovers. Pressure their offense just as much as they pressure us. I like our run game with Shula to Arizona's run game with Arians. Stewart is a big plus.

Fwiw, historically speaking most teams don't score their season averages in the playoffs.  At least they don't until they get to the Superbowl and play Denver.

 

Case in point, both of Seattle's playoff games last year were below their season average (although only by a point or two), until the got to the Superbowl and faced Denver.  :)

 

SF didn't reach its season average in last years playoffs either.  Neither did Denver.  In fact, I believe Denver was 15 to 20 below its season average in the playoffs last year.  When you face better teams, that is what happens.

In fairness...we should of scored more last year. We got pushed around physically at 1 yard line. I put that on the players

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
