Guys were talking about the offense we saw last night, Bayless said Shula called a terrible game, didn't understand anything he was doing. Stephen A said It wasn't Mike's fault, said no matter what he called the Broncos had an answer for it.

So what is it, did Mike screw the pooch last night or was it just a matter of the Broncos defense being better than our offense.

We saw nothing of what we had been doing this year last night. We also saw no adjustments after halftime. We got Shula'd.

We wasted every single first down with the same run up the middle. It was one of our most poorly called games of all time.

The offense I saw last night looked exactly like 2014. You can probably tell who decided to take control of the offense yesterday.

Both. Shula called a terrible game. Blown assignments, dropped balls, few bad throws, crucial turnovers.

As I said on another thread, it was almost like we tried to turn Cam into Tom Brady back there and ended up with the same results.  Very little creativity on the calls, very few option plays, no misdirection, no reverses, only that one God awful trick play.  Almost like they left half the playbook in Charlotte.  Nothing appeared to be done with the cadence or snap count to draw them offside or to try to slow down their pass rush.  Just drop Cam back time after time to get killed by the same pass rush that we had no answer for time after time.  We were even back to having the old problem of Cam getting to the line of scrimmage with 5 seconds left on the play clock so he had zero time to look over the defense and do anything other than barely get the snap off.

Having said that, Shula didn't cause the turnovers, penalties, dropped passes, etc. so its unfair to blame everything on him.

In that regard it was one of the most poorly called games I've ever seen. I mean, how scripted can you get?

What frustrates me the most about the runs up the middle is that its just not well designed play, majority of the time when Stew gets the ball he runs into the back of Kalil or Turner-Norwell and gets stopped in his tracks by the defender. Just a botched play 80% of the time from the jump

I didn't like the runs up the middle or the trick play either, but we would have won if we would have executed. The Tolbert fumble and dropped passes were killers.

I am by no means saying the play calling was great though. It certainly didn't look like we made any adjustments in the 2nd Half, but again that is subjective because I have no way of knowing.  

The one thing I am mad at Shula about is that it did seem like time and time again we were getting to the line with under 10 seconds on the play clock.  Hard for Cam to make adjustments in that situation. Seemed like the plays were so coming in and that is on Shula

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
