For last week's game?  How the hell can they justify our offense being ninth in Week One?

 

On the flipside, how can so many huddlers justify our offense being the worst after week one when we faced a top notch D?

 

It's like comparing college football rankings at the beginning of the season when so many teams are playing softball with D 1-AA teams while others are going against SEC schools. Who's going to have the better statistics at the end of it all?

I am just going to leave it at this for now. It is a long season, this will play itself out, and we can just revisit this on a week to week basis. The facts will come out.

Zod and others may end up being right about Shula, I think people misinterpreted what I was trying to say.

The only point I was trying to make was that after further analysis I wasn't as discouraged as I was immediately after the game.

I wasn't saying Shula is goat, I think there isn't enough evidence to fairly grade him yet, but I also don't think play calling was a major issue last game.

 

I don't think people are necessarily closing the book on Shula.  We all hope---and expect---that he and the rest of the squad improves going forward. The facts will come out, for sure, but the week one facts are already what they are: a 28th ranking in total offense. 

 

The ranking and the stats better show marked improvement tomorrow, especially the most important stat of all (W-L to .500).

Total offense might be literally the worst stat to gauge offensive performance.

Sorry. Seriously I am going to stop now.

If you want to play around with some stats check out this website.

We are 2nd in Big Play Average, 8th in receiving efficiency, 4th in rushing efficiency, and 10th in sacked percentage.

 

Notice how silly that all sounds?

 

This is why nobody should cry river over petty statistics (especially Total Offense) this early in the season.

Yep, be interesting to review as the season goes on.

Yes our opponent was tougher than most and taking that into account we probably were not the worst, but even if the gulf in talent in the NFL was equal to that between 1-AA and SEC teams there is still nothing from our seven point performance that would justify a ranking close to ninth.  Regardless of opponents, our offense was one of the worst in the league last Sunday.  Maybe not the absolute worst but certainly near the bottom and downright painful to watch.

If we were truly one of the worst offenses out there last week, then it's hilarious to think that we were a couple drops and a big fumble from taking the win over one of the highly touted teams in the nation. Shula would have been praised for his efficiency yet we ridicule him for having no balls.

 

The sample size is way too small right now. We will begin to see what this offense is made of against Buffalo.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
