Shula failed us

[lightsout]

No, not just with situational playcalls. Not just with misusing our weapons. 

 

Look at the play clock for every team in the league by the time they're lined up presnap. Most have about 15-20 seconds. Cam and the OL can't audible or adjust anything because we're set presnap with 5 seconds left.

 

Part of this is Rivera's philosophy of chewing up clock, part of it is Cam not having the call relayed to him until the play clock is at 20 or so seconds. We're breaking huddle between 10-15 seconds. 

This is game breaking and just another reason why this staff is garbage. 

[Little Goody Two Shoes]

You're far too kind. 

[Krovvy]

It's been a problem for years now. The Panthers have to burn a timeout every game to save one penalty, but will still get caught for a delay of game. The delayed play calling, like you've stated, also gives Cam no time to audible, and gives the opponents defense a clean reaction to the ball snap.

[JawnyBlaze]

yep.  all those timeouts wasted, all those delays of game, all those "defense knows exactly when to jump the snap because we're taking the clock down to the end" are on shortbus shula.  it's infuriating.  i seriously think a large part of our OL's problem is that defenses know exactly how to time the snap because of how low the playclock gets

I fuging called the inevitable 1st Quarter 0:00 play clock T.O cheese that Shula and Ron is known for.

Ron said he goes down with Shula on record, it's looking very likely so.

But we all know Jrich won't go outside of status quo when it comes to subservient HC's with no balls or intelligence.

[Pantherxtreme]

How are you getting delay of games and having to blow timeouts in your home stadium? If we were on the road and noise was a factor I could understand, but at home...smh. 

[rodeo]

@Jeremy Igo told us this would be a problem before Shula ever called his first play for us. He had this problem when he was OC for the Bucs. 5 years later we can still count on 2-3 penalties and wasted time outs per game.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

Shula wasn't great today, but it doesn't matter what you call if the O-line can't block it. That last drive was great until Cam missed CMC for the TD.

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

Why hasn't any of the Panthers reporters ever ask Ron why this happens pretty much every single game?

[saX man]

We need a Shula emoji worth double shits 

[saX man]

It's such an easy to fix issue but they just don't operate like 31 other teams.  It's either to .5 seconds left on the clock or no huddle...annnnd surprise! We do well with the no-huddle.  

[Bartin]

The communication to the QBs helmet cuts off at 15 seconds left on the play clock.

There is more to the problem than Shula getting the call in late.

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

The longer Shula stays the OC the less the blame lies with him and the more it is on Hurney and RIVERA. They're the ones enabling his incompetence. Hard to blame Shula when upper management is content with his production. 

[pantherj]

I don't know how many fans know about this but Cam sometimes has a stuttering problem in the huddle and he struggles to get the words out.
