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.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
