Mike Shula is in full control of the offense

The players lost this game without a doubt. If you are watching this game it is obvious.

Shula may not have called a good game but he didn't get torched all around on the field, throw ints, drop passes, and commit penalties.

The WRs and Oline played poorly too, but Shula was the biggest factor who crippled any attempt we had at overcoming bad play. You can't overcome bad play when your coach is poo.

This poo that we're seeing now is the same poo we saw in 2014. Complete Mike Shula offense lead football. I just can't believe they put Shula in full control and I can't believe Rivera allowed it, but it's looking like that's what happened. This is not the same offense we have seen all year. This is exactly the same offense we saw in 2014 though.

It wasn't Shula that dropped 8 passes and allowed 7 sacks.

That still doesn't leave him blameless. This offensive playcalling was the exact same as 2014. Blame it all on the players if you want, but when your coach handicaps your offense then you can't overcome or do anything.

No, but he's not the one messing up. Tolbert fumbled, not Shula. Gano missed, not Shula. Teddy Williams decided not to tackle, not Shula. Those things alone don't happen and it's closer. Take out those drops and it's a different game entirely.

That's all true. It's easier to blame Shula, though, then everyone else.

Yes he is the one messing up. When you throw away downs and leave less opportunities for your QB and don't call any short passing plays to help him out yes you are messing up.

    • 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.
