Shula in the playoffs....


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

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.

No more 3rd and 1 Bersin out routes?!?!

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

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
