I see this all the time when folks bash Shula. Run, run, pass, punt. And I am just not sure how that works out? I mean, we run the ball slightly more than we pass. Which, if my math is right, means for every 2 runs, we throw 2 passes. So run, run, pass would seem to be a mathematical impossibility.

 

So don't let math, or facts, get in the way of a good rant.

 

 

This year is different because we've been behind a lot, so we've passed more than we've thrown.

But last year?  501 pass attempts, 526 rush attempts.

2014 was another more-pass-than-run year and, looky there, its because we were behind a lot and yet again had a losing record.

2013, 12-4?  473 passes, 483 rush attempts.

Ron and Mike would always rather run the ball than throw it.

Still. For the run, run, pass to actually work. We would need to run the ball twice as much as we pass, which we don't.

 

So it is obvious folks are once again stretching the truth to make a point. Bad math=bad point.

Other than not adjusting, I really think he only trusts one receiver and he's a TE.

Same receivers from last year with one addition... so I am saying that he trusted them last year why not this year??

Well, I didn't read it as the literal truth, his statement screamed hyperbole to me.

Hyperbole that is effective because it reveals the greater truth, i.e. Mike Shula is an unimaginative dumbass.

There are a myriad of ways to show the truth. Satire, sarcasm, hyperbole, and out and out lying are all ways to sway the truth. But they all have one thing in common, they all depend on the recipient being able to read through the crap, and come to their own conclusions.

 

As to Shula, I have to respectively disagree. Shula has designed a great Offense. The problem is, he doesn't know how to get the best out of it.

 

If you want to be fair, you can find truth in anything. If you want to be biased, you can spin anything to your point of view.

 

What it all boils down to is this. Do you trust what you see?

 

What do your eyes, and brain, tell you about this team? Then look around the league. IMO, the one thing this year has shown? Is that this league is never what you would expect it to be. Other than the Pats.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
