Shula "discouraged" by lack of points....

LACK OF POINTS PROBLEMATIC: Offensive coordinator Mike Shula said it was "discouraging" to produce just 13 points as an offense against the Jaguars, especially considering the favorable field position Carolina obtained.

"We need more points," Shula said. "That was discouraging, that part, because we had really good field position. Not taking advantage of the field position – that’s tough.

"It can come back and hurt you, which it almost did. Our defense played great."

 

To be fair, this exact quote could have been pulled from 1997-1999 in Tampa Bay.

I can't put a ton of blame on Shula for the lack of points.  We had one TD taken off the board by a ridiculous penalty and Ginn dropped another wide open TD.  Add on those 14 points and that makes 27.  Add on the late blocked FG and there's 30.  That's not even counting the missed 53 yarder, because hey, missed 53 yarders are gonna happen.

We really took the air out of the ball in the 4th quarter with that clock eating late drive and that was the right call at that point in the game IMO.

Can't believe I just defended Mike Shula.  Barf.

Eagles had a drive last night that started on the 5 yard line, had 4 penalties and one drop that would have been for a big gain. They still scored a TD on that drive.

I remember watching that thinking not even in my wildest dreams would a Shula lead offense be able to overcome all that and still score a TD. I know people always want to defend it and say "well yeah if not for that bogus penalty or drop blah blah blah" but it's a problem when a single penalty or drop is a drive killer 90% of the time. Those things happen all the time, good coordinators find a way to overcome them.

I get that the players have to execute. But he has to make better play calls or design better plays. Work around your offensive personnel and make it work. Basically make chicken salad out of chicken shiz. 

that does not make any sense at all.......  and, quoting Forrest Gump, that is all I have to say about that !!

its frustrating to hear all these reports about the Cowboys aggressively looking for receiver help when even without Dez they probably still have a better receiving corps than us. And Dez will actually be back this year unlike KB. Before anyone blames the cap can you explain what hurts in giving a veteran a 1 year deal?

Shula!  Shula!  Shula!  Shula! 

If Shula walked into the room I am sitting in....I would start a slow clap for him.  And dang it, someone else would join in on that!!

Let's be real.  Shula knows it takes hard work to make a Cam Newton offense boring as fug.  But he knows we work hard all week and need rest on Sundays.  He doesn't won't us getting all excited.  He knows deep down maybe we need a little nap.  For our own good.  Not a big one.  Maybe a little tiny baby one.  He can help.  Shula loves you.

20-12-1.   Until that changes...better stock up on some Red Bull.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
