14 turnovers is the problem. Not Shula.

Regardless of how you feel about the play calling this season, the sole reason for our loses has been losing 14 possessions. You can't win when you are losing the turnover battle and that has nothing to do with Shula. That has literally everything to do with player execution. If our players are giving away opportunities we will lose. Simple as that.

 

We are dead last in the league for turnovers with 14. We are tied for second to last in turnover differential with -7. 

 

If we can turn the ball over less and take it away more we will win. We led the league in takeaways last year. That has been the single biggest and most impactful difference between last season.

Don't get me wrong, Shula and the coaching is only half the problem. Our boys are committing stupid penalties, dropping passes, not executing, blowing assignments, etc. However, our coaching plays a factor in why our offense has been horrendous.

Completely agree. All the suck is feeding off each other.

I'm not happy with all of Shula's play calls.  I just think it's silly that he's getting the bulk of the blame for the reasons the OP stated.  This train can still get fixed as long as the players can hold onto the ball and not make stupid false starts/holds or any other stupid penalty.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
