Mike Shula: "Cam wasn't good enough". Probably because you called a horrible game, Shula.

Shula was basically calling the typical foxball we all grew up watching.. some poo never changes.

To be fair, putting Mike Remmers on an island against Von Miller was the dumbest idea of the entire season. 

Another big reason why shula has to go.. he never adjusted.

Everyone will talk about Cam's terrible attempt at a fumble recovery, but I think Ginn deserves heat for a weak attempt at a recovery when Denver fumbled that INT, he should have got the ball and if he did we suddenly go from a terrible red zone turnover, to a 1st and goal scenario

[ncmonzta]

When we played the Texans, part of the game plan was to take away Watt. We totally ignored Miller while he dominated Remmers the whole game. Thats strictly on coaching.

Quoting David Newton's full tweet: " Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula: "We weren't good enough. Cam wasn't good enough." Said this when asked how Cam Newton played."

"We weren't good enough. Cam wasn't good enough."

Seems like a fair statement, but then again I didn't read 15 pages.

I don't post much, but this is ridiculous, everyone step back off the ledge.  Denver's D IS that good, and they came ready to play.  When they got the sack fumble TD I had a feeling the team was in trouble.  Cam and the entire O tried to do too much, they got tight.  When Cam gets tight passes go high and has a tendency to throw it as hard as he can.  The catch when Brown got hurt, hell he got way up there to get that ball, and when he hit the turf, I wasn't surprised he got hurt.

Don't get me wrong, I love this team and Cam.  But after the KB injury, most people were thinking 8-8 or worse, not  a one loss super bowl berth.  We over achieved as a team, and some of the weakness reared their head against a truly dominant D.  

Could play calling been better, yes.  Hell, the only thing that went good was some fairly solid D play by our team, but even the weakness of our D were exposed and taken advantage of, ie our injured secondary.

You know the saying, defense wins championships, and that game proved it.

The Carolina Panthers will be back soon, but this just wasn't our year.  Everyone has gained valuable experience, and I hope they can learn and continue to grow as a team and staff.

who holds that power on this team ? so far I'd say no one has the power to get rid of Shula and bring someone else in.

That's gonna be a problem, I have no faith in him to make adjustments during a game.

He insulted the messiah.  This board has fractured into a Cam Newton fan forum.  Panthers fans are merely guests here.

Maybe you'd be happier at the Pickles Clausen fan forum.

Which I found strange, considering that this year was the year Shula has adjusted the most to get the best out of Cam. Shula reverted back to bad Shula at the worst possible time.

I mean, Cam was constantly overthrowing receivers and he single handedly gave up 13 points plus an interception. He definitely was not good.

I have stayed away from this thread, because it's a blame thread, but for the OC to do it? Crazy. CAM has a bad game, it happens, but Shula needs to own the st!t game he called 

[Pox 08]

Blame falls on Shula.     Those of you that claim Cam had total control of the offense and it is his fault,  no.     If an OC sees the exact same play being called every first down of the second half by the qb,  then it's on the OC to put a stop to it.            If a qb has total control of the offense and kept putting Remmers on an island with Miller,    then it's on the OC to step in and correct it. 

 

If it's not on the OC to coach the offense and help by dialing up plays that put them in a better position,    then why the fug do we have an OC?

 

Shula does have the ability to call a good game,  we've seen it in the past.       If he truly gave complete control of the offense over to Cam,  in the SB,   then he should be fired on spot.              Not even Peyton and Brady are in charge of gameplans and calling every play.

This is a false narrative that needs to die.

Our game plan wasn't the problem. Even with the most mistakes I've ever seen made by a Panthers offense, we were burning Denver for huge gains every other drive. Then, like clockwork, we'd stall in Denver territory, and Cam would miss a wide open receiver, or the receivers would get butter hands, or Tolbert would hand the ball off to Denver. All. Night. Long.

What was Shula going to do? Throw out the playbook that got us to 17-1 against multiple top 5 defenses? Build a dump off offense in two weeks after New England lost to Denver using that exact style of offense?

 The players had to not make mistakes for us to win, regardless of the game plan, and holy fuging hell did they poo the bed. Blame the hostile crowd or the lack of focus or whatever helps you rationalize it, but this loss was as much a failure of the players as it was of the coaches.

 one dimensional OC who can only succeed if Cam is doing his thing. He had no answers and that is the sign of a bad OC.

For a team that struggled to run the ball all game Shula never once abandoned the run.

For a team that struggled in the 1Q and after scoring a TD in the 2nd, Shula calls for a lateral to Ginn with his 1st option being to throw to Newton... What a fu*king waste of a down. 

On top of Shula, Ginn again cost us with his hands, Cotchery sucked and Brown let two hit the turf. For someone who is reliable with holding on to the ball Tolbert's fumble was a real killer too.

I've honestly never seen a team beat themselves as bad as the Panthers. What a waste of damn time that was Sunday.
