Shula's play calling was not HORRIBLE, just okay

Gameday thread had a lot of crucifying of Shula, but I thought his play calling was only rough in the red zone. It seemed like a nice mix and good choices before the red zone. So I'd say there is room for improvement but also Jets don't have a bad defense either.

 

Our offense has a good chance at redemption next week.

Cam blew it the first drive with the overthrow. I think overall we've been doing pretty with the state of the O-line. 

You remembered one overthrow from an entire game? No wonder not that many people on the game thread today. There weren't much Cam negatives to create thread on, uh? Let me ask you this, no QBs complete 100% of their passes this weekend, how do you think those in-completions happen? Some overthrows, some under-throws, some too far ahead, some behind. Which one is more acceptable for you.

 

Seriously! One overthrow is what stuck in your mind?

We beat a defense that is prob better than ours with a offense that is prob not better than the Jets. So yea he did a good job. Not enough cred is given to the coaches for hiding all the weak points of our team.

I wasn't in the game day thread, so don't know what was said.

 

The play calling was way, way too conservative in my opinion. If we didn't block that punt, I'm not sure we would have won. Shula just plays things too close to the vest. Cam was throwing the ball well, we are better at pass protection than run blocking and we were facing a tough run defense. The ball should have been in the air much more and I believe the game would have been over early in the 3rd quarter.

 

I applaud the performance of our o-line and DWill. They managed to be effective against a tough defense. But I don't think we will go far if we stay this conservative going forward.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
