at least the owned up to the fact that he blew it...Rivera would have blamed execution  

That's just it. At least Shanahan recognizes the fact he f*cked up. Rivera and Shula never see it that way, they think it's the players fault

 

Which is why we never see a single adjustment made by either retard

As with the Squawks game, it wasn't the decision to throw the ball that was a bad idea. It was just the playcall.

 

Don't throw the ball into the middle of the defense on the goal line. Don't throw the ball down the field on and 1.

I don't agree with this at all but at least he's taking the blame for his part in it. Hindsight is 20/20. People here rip on Ron for the running the ball instead of going for the throat in situations like that. Fact of the matter is the run game was being bottled up at that point. They had just rushed for a loss of a yard. He called a passing play in order to try to get more yards and possibly first down to seal it, because the running game was no different than kneeling it.

The problem was not calling a passing play there, it was Matt Ryan taking the sack. In that situation you have to understand what the hell can happen on the play and what you can't allow happen and Ryan had a fair amount of time to get rid of the ball (more than Cam had on any single play in SB 50) and he took a sack. Not just a sack but a 10 yard sack. After that sack you needed yardage to get in field goal range again and running it wouldn't do it. Hardly Shanahan's fault that Jake Matthews held on the play. The loss is due to many different factors and Shanahan's style of offense is part of it (big plays, not being able to sustain drives keeping their D on the field) but he was not the biggest reason. Matt Ryan was a bigger reason for the loss than him. And Freeman whiffing on Hightowers' blitz on the strip sack was not on Shanahan. That's on Ryan not seeing that on the field and switching up protections and on Freeman for getting wrecked.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
