We are letting teams hang around, we need to stop being so conservative

the problem is the offense is not constructed to really pull away from anyone. it is on the defense and ONLY the defense to go out there and in critical situations to get stops and not give up 17 points in a quarter.

if we wanted an offense that pulls away...we should have drafted and signed players in the off season that pulls away...

How do you know you can't pull away if you never try?  At least go for the first down with a pass our receivers are not that terrible

Shula ball.... "Oh guys were ahead.  Our defense will keep us there.  Let's just run the ball three and out.  Take time off the clock".  I hate it.  We have been doing it every game since Shula's been here.  Bugs me to death.  But maybe it's not Shula calling those plays maybe it's Ron's call. I don't know

 

We did try passing on 3rd down to try and ice the game at the end of regulation. Luckily it wasn't picked. Shula isn't great. Certain players are making Shula look good (Cam), but he is limited in talent to work with as well.

 I'm pretty sure the Panthers had a lot more passing yards than rushing yards tonight, and that throw to Ginn that should have won the game was as aggressive as it gets in that situation. IT seems like some of you think that an incomplete pass on 3rd down means that Shula refused to try, instead of it just being a failed play for one reason or other.

shula did alright minus that one series late when we can ice the game. two straight runs pass punt. 

the D is really what went conservative late thinking the game is over and / or not wanting to get beat deep

Against the Jags, Texans, Saints and now Colts this coaching staff has let the opposing team hang around and it has to stop. This run, run, third a long Cam run or screen pass is killing us. We need to go for the jugular just like NE does.

If you truly believe we let them hang around, then you didn't watch the game. Do you even know football? 

 

Did you see our offense couldn't score when starting from our side of the field? All game long?

Do you realize that defenses get tired, cause of poo like that, combined with the refa refusing to call any holding against the colts?

I really wish people like you wouldn't post about things you know nothing about.

Tactics were good.  Execution was poor.

Thank you Ron

Franchise has pretty much been like this since it started.  I'm used to it, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.  There are a number of reasons why coaches do this apparently I'm not smart enough to understand them.

After he scored on that Philly TD the next two possession were run, run, run 3 and out, run run pass 3 and out. How is that not going conservative? 

[lightsout]

Hard to go out and run your offense when your starting center and guard are out. That coupled with our less than great WRs and bad weather, and you get what our offense was for 2 and a half quarters.

Better weather and no injury to Norwell, we win that game 31-6.

We have the receivers to get a two TD lead but we don't have the receiver to close the game out????

 

Our receivers do suck, but when Cam is hot you let him close it out.

[Nick_81]

Nah, fug that.  This game was bullshit.  I saw too much fuged up poo tonight, and a majority of it wasn't our fault.  The refs damn near gift wrapped the game for the Colts.  Maybe it wasn't obvious on TV, but it damn sure was from my soaking ass seat.  I shouldn't be this pissed after a win, but I can't get over it.  It blows my mind what happened out there tonight.

I don't know whether the Eagles game was more bullshit or this Game was bullshit.
