Why Shula is trouble. I've never been sold and maybe this wasn't all his decision. But, that crap is going to get us smashed. I'm a mega optimist but we have one of the greatest offensive weapons of all time, let him do his work. He does great in the tempo, and we slow him down. He makes good throws and we stop letting him throw and go to Stewart. Stewart's great, love him. But take away the 60 harder and he averages what, 3 ypc? That's not enough and that's on the coaching staff. Seattle is no punk on run defense. Proud of the team, great plays made on d with the kuechly pass deflection, td being td, Norman sack. Great win, but this conservative stuffs gotta go.

I just hope Ron, Shula, and McD know the secret number of points they need to score early to get the win by the skin of their teeth over the next 2 games...when the go into "protecting" mode in the 2nd half...

Funny.

I was thinking during the game, " I hope Ron tells the offense score 50 (instead of 60, cause you don't want them going balls out reckless)", and the defense "hold them to 0"! LOL

This way they wouldn't lose the presumed edge.

I personally think his playcalling was decent even in the 4th.  I know he'll get poo on for the play calls on the last series the panthers had that lead to the punt with 3:30 to go, but after the Olsen first, he knew that the seahawks would HAVE to have an onside kick to win a game which mean killing clock was paramount.  I was a huge shula critic early in the season,  but he dropped 24 on the best defense in the NFL, credit where credit is due.

offensive playcalling wasn't nearly as bad as our defense 

Disagree completely. Offensive playcallig in the second half showed little of the creativity from the first half. The offense scoring zero points in the second half is unacceptable.

The defense, meanwhile, made the Seahawks grind out their points drive after drive. The zones may have gotten a bit softer, but the blitzes were on and the pressure there - Wilson just made some of the bullshit plays that he always seems to.

Take away the 60 yarder? Why do people always say that. You can't just arbitrarily take plays away. 

Let me try. If you take away all the other runs, he averages 60 yds per carry. That is crazy good.

2 TDs is the key, Seattle was selling out to stop the run, if we didnt go into a conservative mode there would have been a lot of opprotunity in the passing game.

Can't we have just 1 thread for all the whiney little crybabies? Or does every butt hurt kid have to start their own thread?

 

All this "I'm a whiney give it to me now kid, and I deserve better" crap has got to go. This is football. There ain't no room for crybabies.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
