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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
