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.

That call on Olsen was bullshit and Teddy dropped an east TD. Should have been 21-3 early.

Huddle "discouraged" by presence of Shula

Not really surprising when your starting receivers are bench worthy on every other NFL team.

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.

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.

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 seriously hate having Shula as our O-Coordinator.

But it wasn't completely his fault that the offense sucked this week. Missed opportunities abound and he actually made some decent calls in the red zone. Poor execution all around, but specifically from the WRs.

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

[Hotsauce]

What's he supposed to say, "I suck as a OC?"

 

Still thanking ole Chud the Chode for ditching us to go to the brown. Not saying we would be SB champs or anything, but chances are we would have a dynamic offense to compliment a playmaking defense...

I thought I dumbed it down for the huddle to understand but I guess I didn't . I should have gameplanned better for this. Damn it shula, this is your fault too!

[L-TownCat]

Too many head scratching plays.

too many slow developing passes with poo WRs.

Olsen left to block instead of ANYONE ELSE!

No CAP.

2 targets for Funch.

 

should I continue?

[KillaCamNewton]

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.
