RR: OC Shula did a good job at end of the season

As long as Ron Rivera and Mike Shula are part of this organization your franchise QB will never be much better than he is now. 

 

Sorry, but your QB is going into his 5th year, a contract year, and he's still being coached and treated as though he were a rookie. He's playing with a glorified college-style offense, his QB coach did nothing in the NFL and from one week to the next no one seems to know what the identity of this offense is- power running team this week, pass first next week... who knows?

Not surprised, but a shame that we are willing to accept that kind of inepitude with so many jobs riding on it.

Shula's archaic crawlball offense simply isnt cut out for today's NFL. His "clock control" offense just doesnt work anymore.

There are too many moving parts that have to be perfect all drive for it to yield 7 and defenses are too aggressive.

It's done, but we're still desperatley trying to lead the league in T.O.P. rather than points scored or wins.

Rivera seems to know nothing about Offense and it shows. He says once we started the no huddle we started to do well. He doesn't understand just because something works a few times doesn't mean it's a winning formula for every fuging down. If anything Ron saying Shula did good shows Ron is completely outclassed when it comes to offense. He trusts Shula to much and I bet he's just reiterating Shulas excuses to him. No personnel, no speed guy, blah blah blah.

Am I the only one that would much rather be rid of Rodgers than Shula? Yeh we all know Shula is terrible but he had a CFL second string O Line and a set of young, slow and inexperienced WRs with no chemistry with Cam to start the season. TO be honest, for the first 9 games, our defence was equally as poor as our offence but no one seems to be jumping on McDermott for that?

 

To be honest Special teams has been dreadful ALL YEAR and has done nothing to help the offence with terrible starting position and some key missed kicks and blocks. This has been on the scheming and discipline of the special teams units, while some of the deficiencies on O and D have been on execution and new personnel. 

 

You guys really need to address this anger in the right place, if we can only get rid of one coach this season it NEEDS to be Rodgers instead of Shula.

When you have a QB like Cam short and medium passes are not enough due to his completion percentage. He will miss too many throws to beat the top level teams. It won't work. You have to have an elite deep threat WR who can dominate, take the top off the defense, and go get the ball in the air over a DB. We had that in Steve Smith when we made the SB, and had other successes. Cam doesn't have a SS like Jake had, and so you see the offense struggling. Without a superstar WR our offense will be weak. The deep ball can make up for Cam's completion low completion percentage in the same way in made up for Jake's low completion percentage until his injury. After his injury he really couldn't throw the deep ball. 

 

The draft is not likely to yield the type of WR we need. We might be able to get what we need in FA. Anyone know which WRs will be available?

Just heard this from Rivera's mouth and almost gagged on my sandwich. So odds are everyone's favorite OC is not going anywhere...unless DG cans him. Highly unlikely since the HC picks his staff. We are in for another dose of Shula in 2015 it appears.

I told everyone this as soon as we stumbled into the playoffs.
