Mike Shula is in full control of the offense

He had done a great job really.

Then, when it really counted, he and Ron decided what was REALLY needed wasn't what Cam could provide them, but the good ol' TOP battle they love so dearly!

You do know we won the dearly treasured and beloved Time Of Possession Super Bowl Championship tonight, don't you?  And isn't that what's really important?

When it was all on the line, Shula took it out of Cams hands and Rivera allowed it. Rivera allowing it is the biggest shock to me after all the change Rivera himself had made this year.

Mike Shula showed up scared and poo the bed on the biggest stage of his career. Every 1st down he pissed away. Every single 1st down. Cam only had 2 downs to work with each drive.

Behind the damn sticks.

EVERY.

GODDAM.

TIME.

[JawnyBlaze]

yea, the old Shula definitely showed up tonight.  That, coupled with Remmers giving everyone a free lane to Cam all night is what crippled us.

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

The players on offense played VERY poorly.

The fact that the Denver defense knew everything that was coming pretty much every damn play didn't help them.

idk how you blame shula, wr's drop numerous balls that would have got us within the 10 yard line, not to mention tolbert giving the ball to the broncos....panthers did exactly what they need to to lose, implode

So is no coach culpable when we lose because of their unit? I guess we should retain everyone forever then and keep drafting and hiring more all pros

He is culpable for not calling great plays. The players are more culpable for playing like sh*t. It is very hard to turn sh*t into a diamond.

We were in position to score multiple times if we didn't throw away downs. Again, where are the short passing plays to counter the pressure Denver was bringing? Exactly, there was none, except for a 3rd down crossing patter to Cotchery. 

He should have called more slants. Our receivers shouldn't have dropped eight passes. That's eight lost downs.

We could have overcome our mistakes. Shula was too incompetent to do so.

Please give your magic gameplan. Can we throw? Not really. Our receivers dropped everything, and Cam had no time to throw. How about run? Well, we have no room, the option didn't work, and our backs fumbled twice. 

I'll give you two substantial things we could have done to change the game.

1) Gano makes the field goal. That's a three point gain.
2) Teddy Williams tackles the returner. The Broncos had no offense outside the first drive. They would not have scored. That's a three point loss.

That means, with five minutes left, we are tied 13-13 instead of down 16-10. That's not even factoring in the red zone issues. This was a team loss.

Those runs up the middle constantly were downright embarrassing.

you know how you to yourself "how did this man even get this far" sometimes, and it's largely just hyperbole.

 

i actually wondered how somebody with such a small and limited football IQ could make it this far

 

obvious his last name is the answer to that question, like how could you be so dense. it's baffling. i literally cannot find the words to describe what i watched tonight

[Car123]

What was up with that wide receiver pass?? Waste of a down.

How about a fuging play that isn't 50 yards down the field? Why didn't we call short passes to help Cam out? Why is this the third time I'm asking you?

[SZ James (banned)]

Why didn't stewart run for 80 yards up the middle on first and 10! Such garbage execution of my genius playcalling!!!

[Pantera_Negro_Mateo]

Shula is great at drawing up plays, but is fuging terrible at calling them.

You blame Shula because you are mad we lost and want a scapegoat. Really that simple.

Bullsh*t. No coordinator in the league is going to win against the best defense in the league when...

...that coordinator calls plays that the defense is expecting and prepared for every damn down.

[LinvilleGorge]

I had always said we'd never win it all with Shula calling plays but I thought we could pull it off tonight.  Nope.
