27 Points...

[Marguide]

Let's not forget the 4th down call or slotting Stewart out wide, he wasn't great, particularly considering 13 of those points came with the offense going no-huddle, putting more pressure on cam and not Shula.

 

that said, in glimpses, the play calls were great (early end around a come to mind negating their aggressive rush), but to act like the offense output was directly attributable to Shula is incorrect.  

Look, if we are going to give him the blame when things go wrong, you can't deflect the praise when things go right.

We were -2 in turnovers, at one of the toughest road venues in the NFL, and still put up 27.

What the hell else do you want?

I'm not arguing, I think Shula has been decent this year, but it is true, no huddle isn't called by the O-coord.  At times he made some great calls, at some other points the play calls were mind numbing.

i actually felt like this game was horribly called. play after play was getting blown up in the backfield... not because the blocking was bad, but because it was so damn complicated that we couldnt execute right. Shula is doing some things right. i will give him that. but he has still NOT convinced me he can help this team win. This offense is performing in spite of him, not because of him. big difference

What this entire team has done in the face of significant injuries is amazing.  Imagine CJ and KB on the field today, the future is bright huddlers!

wasnt seattle only giving up 5 points in their two home games?

[usmcpanthers]

The call that had me screaming was the 4th and 1 at the end of the half.

If we had another OC we would score 35 points a game with all this talent.  Who couldn't score a bunch of points with a #1 WR that gets cut from every team not named Carolina and an UDFA no one even knows what his name is.... including himself.  Corey or Philly?  

Damn shula.

Even in no huddle, there is still communication between the OC and the QB.

And every team has play calls that make you say wtf.

I don't think he's a Hue Jackson or Bruce Arians, but he seems to have found a formula that works for us. It's not like we're loaded with playmakers.

On the 4th and 1, I suspect cam had a pass/run option.  Sherman was there if he ran but I gotta think cam could have gotten half a yard...he probably was thinking Olsen was going to be wide open.  Honestly, Idk why cam threw that one...but I for one liked the call to bootleg with that option though it didn't work out.

Watching the half time show of the ( cheating ass) patriots game, and the Panthers still getting no love ( except for Olsen) . Our offenses played their asses off! All those nay sayers cansuck it! 

[w280sax]

4 80 yd touchdown drives are an impressive thing for any offense.  I would bet the Panthers have never had 4 80+ yd td drives in one game before.

Olsen actually was open...Cam threw it behind him. He could have easily run for the 1st though. Either way, the call was fine, the execution was terrible.

I was also annoyed with taking a knee with 30 sec and two timeouts. We should have tried for a field goal.
