Just something I wanted to say about our offense

[Ricky Spanish]

Through 7 games we have scored 12 touchdowns. That's an average offensive output of 12 points per game (excluding FGs).

Today the offense scored -14 points. The defense allowed 3. We lost.

We have played 7 games this season. The offense has looked like poo in 5 of them.

Our defense is not the issue. The only thing I would criticize them for is not getting turnovers, but they are playing good enough football to win us these games. We are a top 5 defense this year. Our offense is bottom 5, and there is no excuse for it. We have playmakers. We have a former MVP under center. We have the players in place to be even mediocre. 

We need someone else running the damn show. I'm sick of Shula-Ball. Congrats, we held the ball 3x longer than they did, and we couldn't do poo with it. 

We had 10 days to prepare for this game after laying an egg the Thursday prior. There is no excuse for how craptastic we looked today. 

We still have a shot at a championship based on player personnel alone. Rivera needs to sack up and pull a 2012 Ravens and fire their OC mid season.

The 10 days thing is the most annoying to me. 

[raleigh-panther]

It really does no good. We will continue to see this grade b movie through the year

it is hard to believe a team could have Luke Kuechly and Cam Newton and look like poo during their prime 

hats off to Rivera and company. That's pretty hard to do

Not just this but 10 days to prepare against a John Fox team with a rookie QB.  What in freaking Mila Kunis is going on?!

Shula has to be fired after this. All hope is lost if he isn't. I'm almost certain all hope is lost.

Never underestimate the fug ups of a Shula.

I'll say what I've said elsewhere. Firing Shula doesn't go far enough. Rivera has too many issues of his own. 

If I were to try and look into the future right now though: Given that Rivera blames the players for everything that goes wrong I'd expect Shula will be retained and Rivera and Hurney will overhaul the roster (likely getting rid of a lot of Gettleman guys) to their liking.

And that'll probably go pretty much like you'd expect.

That is terrifying and I continue to hate everyone.  Mostly Shula though...

I wouldn’t even be mad if they brought Chud back.

Yes.

One of our biggest issues has been situational analysis and time management. In fact, we're definitely the worst in the league at that. No awareness from anybody with playcalls, actions, or even attitude.

No discipline. No one stepping up to pump everyone back up. Nothing.

We need a new HC before it's too late.

I'm not convinced there's much chance of getting a new OC, or a new head coach, or even a new GM for that matter.

New players maybe since, as Rivera has assured us, it's more about making plays than calling.
