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.

    • Absolutely. He just turned 27 a few days ago, so quite young. He and Moehrig would be quite the pairing.  I know we say this every year, but this FA period has A LOT of talent that will be switching uniforms. We were aggressive last year and have no doubt this time next week will have some studs on defense.   
    • DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.
    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.
