Mike Shula is in full control of the offense

[Semaj]

This was Shulas poorest job of the season by far.  Nothing more to be said.  I don't see the need to pile on the guy.  It is what it is as we have all unfortunately heard so many times before.

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.

Yes wat the fug happened to the slants! We fugign called one on 3rd and long to Cotchery short of the first down. Why wasn't that called on the previous downs? Shula jsut went back to his usual dumbassery tonight.

LOL reading this thread you'd think Denver had the worst defense in the league.  There are things that you're just going to struggle to do against defenses like that.  Denver's offense fared even worse than us minus the turnover's.  The fumbles killed us.  If we didn't fumble the ball we'd have won this game.

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.

Alright genius, go ahead. Give me your magic gameplan that makes up for eight drops and three fumbles and a missed field goal.

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

That's all Rivera and Shula know... "run the ball and play defense".

But...

What if a team doesn't LET YOU RUN THE BALL.

They seem to have been TOTALLY BLINDSIDED by that possibility.

And not only blindsided, TOTALLY UNPREPARED.

but but but Shula sucks! If we had anyone else Tolbert wouldn't have fumbled and Remmers wouldn't have forgotten how to block!

You guys can't seem to grasp that you can't fumble the ball 3 or 4 times, throw interceptions, have 3 or 4 false start penalties and missed field goals and expect to win the game.  I don't care if you have 2007 New England Patriot's offense.  They would have lost against this defense if they made these kinds of mistakes.

Not really. Maybe in 2013, but we scored 500 points. We had multiple games with 5 TD passes.

Our receivers seemed completely unprepared to catch passes.

Didn't read thread.  Agree with OP.  Slants would have shut Denver's defense down and we only ran 2.  Not a single called screen play.

Shula sucks.  Offensive line wasn't able to give CAM the 4 seconds that every Shula play calls for.

How hard is it to catch the damn ball? 

A *lot* harder when the defense knows its gonna be a goddam pass before the ball is even snapped.

Not to mention if Cam would have just jumped on the damn ball at the end we still had a chance.  Shula's gameplan was fine, the execution...not so much.

Are you defending Cam's decision on that play?
