Sorry, dude. Your post mentioned Shula and us going 15-1. I was commenting primarily on his role in it. Wasn't really talking about Rivera.

Looking back at your original post, I can see where you'd be confused. My fault.

There are boxers who are great punchers and there are boxers who are great punchers and counter-punchers.

Lots of coaches can come up with something that works. Great coaches are the ones that come up with something that works and then are also  able to tweak it when other teams adjust to it or find a flaw in it.

Shula found a great working system that year, but when someone figured it out (Atlanta) he had no response.

And yeah, it still burns my ass that we went into the Super Bowl with nothing different even after that Falcons game exposed our flaws.

Great post—- my thoughts exactly—

Ron pulled a Fox,.. just like Teams said about us in the 2008 playoffs,.. failure to make any adjustments at all.

McDermott I believe does, and did his best to adjust his plans under Ron while he was here,..

but offensively— only Chud did— probably got too cute at times, but I loved the adjustments and the aggression.

failures by Ron and Shula in the Super Bowl to make adjustments are a very sore subject...

If anyone finds the all 22 film of those final three plays please post it up. I'd love to see it.

As for Eric Washington, I was thrilled after Week One. Since then, we haven't held a single team under 20 and we've given up 30+ twice - including the first 30+ point performance from the Giants in something like three years. I'm at near fill blown panic mode with Washington and his defense right now. I honestly think there should be some real thought put into Rivera taking over the defense and letting Washington go back to focusing on the DL.

I might have missed it in the previous 8 pages, but if not ^

All 3 plays the throw seemed predetermined from the snap, which I'm not a fan of.  No idea of that is on the coaches or Cam.

First play CMC ran a nice route, Cam just missed him.  It happens.

Second play an overthrow.  Looked like it was some kind of back shoulder or jump ball for Funchess.

Third play, if you stop it right when Cam starts to throw, you can see Wright looks to be held.  Cam is throwing to a spot, expecting the receiver to be there.

Seems like three low percentage plays.  Not a big fan of just having one option or throwing to a spot hoping somebody will be there.  In that critical of a situation would be nice to have some options.  What is wrong with going through reads and throwing to an open person.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but according to the box score on espn.com,we had 47 secs and 2 time outs before the 2nd down throw to CMC?  Not sure why the shots to the end zone.  If anything we could have left them too much time.

Also, does anyone find it curious that Voth tweeted this?  Are we trying to blame someone or maybe deflect blame?

Damn. Washington had really good coverage on all three of those places. Wasn't much there to be had.

They were in man press on all those plays. Kinda surprised Panthers didn't have a crossing/rub route or stack formation in any of those attempts. Just lined up and said beat your man against this blitz 3 times in a row.

On first down there was on the far side but there wasn't any point to it since the first read was CMC so by the time Cam got to that side of the field the defenders had ample time to recover
