Welcome to Shula ball....

This looked really familiar. I have been stressing for months that Shula's biggest issue as an OC was in game adjustments. Once the defense adjusts to what the offense is doing, it's difficult to score. It's just not his strong point.

Lets all hope this is just a one game letdown, because if its an indicator of what's to come its going to be a long season.

Rivera just said in the press conference they need to look and see what they did to stop our offense.

That idea is about 20 minutes of football too late.

What did he do wrong?  Did people expect us to explode on Seattle's elite defense or something?

 

He called a good game.  Seattle just played good defense.  Not much he can do.  And we were driving on Seattle down the stretch.  Not his fault Williams fumbled.

 

Do not evaluate Shula off one game vs. a top 3 defense in the NFL.  Because this is the same defense that shut down Rodgers and Brady led offenses last year who are both more talented than what Carolina has on offense.

 

It looks like a situation of you just wanting to be right about your pre-conceived notion. Maybe Shula is bad.  I didn't see what you saw today.  But do not judge him off 1 game vs. a terrific defense.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
