I guess this board will go back to hating Rivera and Shula next year no matter how many games this team wins.

Not Rivera, but Shula definitely.  Shula showed improvement this year, but it was more addition by subtraction of his control over the offense in-game.  I honestly don't know what we can do about it.  Who fires the OC after going 17-2?  If we did actually pull that trigger, who would we replace him with?  How would that impact the progression of the offense overall?  We're kinda stuck with Shula atm, it would seem.

Players win games.

Coaches lose them.

If you couldn't see piles of poo layed by Shula on that California field tonight, I can't help you.

Yep we totally could have overcome four turnovers, eight drops, a missed field goal, and a horrid return game if only Shula called a few more screens and slants! I know this from my vast experience of watching NFL games while inebriated

Ron Rivera did nothing wrong tonight.  The only time I had issue with his decisions was that first or second drive where we had a 4th and 1 and he punted.  He shoulda gone for it.  Mike Shula though?  Reverted and reverted hard.  I am literally in awe of how horrible his game plan was.  He ran.  On every first down.  He ran.  Over the right G/T. ON. EVERY. FIRST. DOWN.  Mike Shula should be left in California.  I wish Cam had said "EF THIS poo" and called his own plays.

Well here's the thing about Shula... he only does what Rivera ALLOWS him to do.

Rivera doesn't get to plead innocent if Shula is guilty, bro.  That ain't the way it works.

We have the number 1 offense in the league... why would we fire Shula?

I'm not saying we should, as is obvious by my post you quoted.  But if we did it would be because our offense obviously improved the LESS he had to do with it in-game.

Because it is OBVIOUSLY Shula's fault we lost, not the fact our receivers dropped eight passes, we turned the ball over four times and forgot how to play special teams. THE ONLY BLAME IS ON SHULA. SHUUUUUUUULLLLLAAAAA!

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
