If Ron Rivera won't fire Mike Shula, then fire Ron Rivera


Growl

Recommended Posts

I am so, so done with this team's incompetence at the OC position resulting in no change. It has been a necessary and consistent demand for some time now.

 

Throwing three straight deep balls when you're trying to run some clock and put it in the end zone to win?

Run Cam all game on idiotic QB sweeps and then completely ignoring the prospect of QB Draw on 3rd and 4th and 1?

 

Every single thing this offense does happens in a vacuum. There is no dedicated rhythm to what we do. Each play is an isolated choice picked in the moment based on what Shula thinks is best then and there. Did anybody audibly laugh as I did when Romo recommended we quickly get to the line and snap the ball on a quick run? This offense hasn't possessed that kind of sophistication and efficiency since the day Shula took the helm. Shula is still picking his play at this point.

Fire him. Right now. I do not care about any alleged excuses. If Ron wants to make one, then fire Ron as well. L-O--L at the end of half hail Mary when you had a kick within your man's range. 

The franchise can ignore this issue no longer. Make the necessary maneuvers to salvage this team, or blow it up entirely. Those are your options. 

 

"mike really has a great family pedigree for the sport" isn't one anymore.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
