Shula's play calling was not HORRIBLE, just okay

[BigBoss]

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.

He's getting too cute, needs to go back to the basics.

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

[KendrickPanther]

I was very pleased with the offense today. The 4th down call was bad imo. You take the points vs. the Jets.

That overthrow on a wide open screen is inexcusable.

Two weeks in a row he overthrows an awful lob that could get picked easily.

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?

It's the crucial situations in which he is horrible and keeps us from dominating.

[fieryprophet]

When anyone on the Huddle has a clue about offensive playcalling is when our offense actually has problems. Otherwise I wish the topic would die.

[PhillyB]

i thought it was pretty damn effective against a great defense

I agree. This team is getting very confident because wins come in bunches for them. Even going for it on 4th even when not needed. This team is gonna be a nightmare when it has its franchise WR.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

It gets questionable in the Red zone. I mean we have Cam newton. Playaction rollout read.... throw the ball don't just pound tolbert. Be inventive.

[Snake]

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and there are a lot of weak points.

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.

Worked better in the second half,,, I'm satisfied....
