So we win lots of games last year and make great adjustments and this year we lose lots of games and supposedly can't adjust, what do you think happens? Coaches lose their mind or skill level. Or they can adjust sometimes and not others,? For something to be missing it has to be always missing not there one year and gone the next.

Last year we blew leads as well that's where we thought we had overcome losing close games..you must remember how our defense created great field position for our offense as well as scored points...on the offensive side of ball i clearly remember alot of 3 and outs..plays called by shula that make you scratch your head and still to this day he does this.Defense gave the offense plenty of chances to make up for the what Rivera calls missed opportunities  and sometimes scoring points..It was not the offense that made adjustments outside of Cam doing audibles and no huddle offense.Shula plays were ok but created majority of the three and outs not to mention he wasn't getting plays in fast enough...You may give Shula credit for going no huddle but the reads and plays are all on Cam at that point. This yr not much of the audibling and no huddle you see the results.
