The play calls at the end of the game were NOT playoff caliber

I'm goddam tired of Mike Shula trying to make Cam Newton turn into Trent Fugging Dilfer.

 

Thank god Cam has so much talent that it breaks out of the concrete Shula continually puts him into anyway.

 

You noticed that too?

 

Look who our QB is...and look where our offense is ranked....it certainly takes skill to do that.

 

I mean...you have to REALLY suck to be that bad with a top 5 QB....

The offense has made just enough plays to keep people saying Shula is decent. This team is in the playoffs in spite of his bullshit, not because of it. If the D doesn't have 9 sacks and 7 points today, the Panthers play next week on the road. The D has bailed this offense out the whole second half of the season and the O better get their heads outta their asses if they want to make a run.

 

Number one scoring D and the offense is bottom third of the whole league.

 

 

Shula could be better but given the way we have operated the last 3 seasons...what do you expect? Seriously? 

 

Head Coach and respectable Coordinator is on the defense. We have drafted nearly all defense. Much of our money is tied up in the defense and the running backs.

 

This is THE ONLY way we can win especially with your best offensive weapon is hurt.

 

We have to win via Defense and Running game.

 

Period. That is where are resources are.

This year offense is Methodical, but Shula needs to open the passing game like 2011 offense for the playoffs!

 

I agree, but I think that long developing pass plays are hurting us this year. Our WR's are not getting open quick enough and our O-line isn't able to hold of the defensive rush that long. Quicker routes, like slants, 5 yard out routes and quick curls and quick hitter bunch/WR screen routes, like the ones Atlanta used on us today.

I expect well designed plays built with players strengths in mind, not trying to force a square peg inside a round hole.

That's how you win playoff games, we need to tweak the passing game and make this offense more explosive like the 2011 Offense.

You just can't do that, and expect to be bailed out by the NFL's 2013 version of the Bad News Bears. Shula and Rivera need to get their acts together during the next two weeks, or we will be one and done.  Not to mention that we had nine sacks, and only were able to win by a point.  

 

/end rant

 

 

We won! 

 

I must agree.  I was very disappointed in the play calling throughout the game.

Shula is not the best OC, but his play calling has gotten us in the Playoffs for the 1st time since 2008. So you can bash him if you like, I'd but I'll keep him for another year. Don't get me wrong, he does need to improve on his play calling some but more importantly, his play calling at key times. He also needs to draw up quicker developing plays. But of course, better offensive linemen will help next year.

 

We're one of the best teams in the league on 3rd Down Conversions, but some of these conservative play calls may bite us in the big game. We've been very fortunate so far.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
