Mike Shula is in full control of the offense

How about a fuging play that isn't 50 yards down the field?

Those plays seemed to work well enough. Guess what ended those drives? A drop and a missed field goal.

Why didn't we call short passes to help Cam out?

I don't know. Why didn't his receivers catch the balls?

Why is this the third time I'm asking you?

Because you are stupid and didn't read my other posts.

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. 

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

Did we run a screen pass against the Denver pressure?

Even once?

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.

But all the media articles told me that Rivera had changed and he had learned "there was no book"!

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

I understand it's easy to pin everything on a scapegoat. But our whole team let us down. We got in the red zone enough times to win. Our defense played well enough to win. Our offense, as a unit, just failed. And no amount of playcalling is going to fix eight drops or our backs randomly fumbling.

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.

How hard is it for players to turn shitty, predictable plays that the defense knows is coming from a mile away into a diamond?

The slants to Ginn were working at times.  We just stopped calling them.  Every play was either a run up the middle (and WAY too many of them were Tolbert) or a pass play that took too damn long to develop.  There were lots of WRs letting us down, for every big play a WR made (Ginn, Brown and Funchess all made at least one amazing play) there were two crushing drops.  But those could have been overcome with more sensible playcalls.

Offense played with 0 urgency in the second half

[Growl]

how do you get two weeks to devise a gameplan and the best you can muster "let's run straight into a wall of defenders every single play for no yards."

 

 

it's not like we were trying to impose our strength either. for all our prowess in the run game, we have been awful  running the ball from undrer center this year and we have been awful running the ball right into a wall of defenders in the A gaps.

 

 

like literally any poster on tis board couldve called  a better game tonight and i sincerely mean that. it was that disgraceful of a performance in the annals of NFL history.

 

this team is going to fall back on "fire him? look at the offensive ranking, and given full context of that number there is no justifiable number for keeping him or even defending him on an internet forum

Shula has improved no doubt.  But in this game he certainly regressed to the Shula that none of us can stomach.  I think his butthole was clenched a little too tight.  Too much in his head and not flowing with the game at all.  It's hard to be successful while seemingly resisting change in a war of inches.

How hard is it to catch the damn ball?

Play calling in the second half was like we were up by 20

And Cotchery, I mean GD.  The only catch he DID make was the one the refs stole from us.
