Hang Shula at dawn

[Castavar]

I've never hated a guy I never met before, but I wanna punch that motherfugger in his face as soon as he leaves Bank of America.

the decision to throw it on 3rd and 1 and then again on 4th and 1 when time wasn't even a factor was absolutely moronic. 

yes our running was stifled for most of the game, but heck, run a god damn QB sneak.

get the first down by any means necessary

[zacka77ack]

My favorite Shula play calls: second and goal, Dickson and Shepherd are running routes into the endzone with KB and Funchess on the sideline. We went on to kick a field goal. "This will really fool them. I bet they won't even cover Dickson and Shepherd. No one is dumb enough to pull out the team's best redzone threats and use 2 journeymen as the only options. Watch and learn, boys!"

Absolutely adored the throw back to 2016 with the 3 straight play calls featuring long developing routes during our 2nd to last possession. "What Eagles pass rush? The Eagles have a pass rush? O-Line will give Cam time."

Stewart dropped a screen early in the game and has played like complete ass every minute since? Better try another screen to hi.....and he pops the ball into the air, facilitating an interception. "Christian McCaffrey ain't got nothing on Jonathan Stonehandswart."

Nobody here has mentioned on our last possession, 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1, we throw the ball to the middle of the field. Every other OC in the league would have gave that ball to Cam fugging Newton and trusted him to move the sticks by lowering his shoulder and running.

Shula is a fuging moron who shits the bed when the situation becomes critical.

[Jon Snow]

Yet another game where Shula got out coached.  Has anyone woke up Ron to give his poor execution speech yet?

[Malt Liquor]

Fans should buy a billboard in Charlotte that says Fire Mike Shula!!! S h i t I might chip in $100 to make it happen.

neither shula nor rivera handle pressure well.

we definitely need to move on. i think the play design is fine, but the play calling and game management sucks.

can someone with more football IQ than me please tell me why it's necessary to run on first down? what's the benefit? I mean is it really worth sticking to when it's obvious it's not working?

and then, after that's explained to me, then please tell me why we insist on keeping stewart in there so much? can we just move on? we can't move the ball with him and he's no good in the passing game. we drafted CMC in with the 8 spot and he's got very little mileage on him and the offense is more or less designed around him..so why not just roll with him and use stewart... i don't know....to carry the clipboard. i mean our options are limited when he's on the field and our Oline just can't block for him. let's just move on.

[Shocker]

The Huddle thinks I'm gonna fire Shula or Rivera.

[LinvilleGorge]

The guy has to go. He's already cost us a Super Bowl and I fear that if we don't make a change mid-season he'll cost us a shot at the playoffs this year.

ok that's an overreaction but based christ if i had a nickel for every time we ran jonathan stewart up the gut for -3 on first down i'd have enough nickels to buy sanjay rajput nine tight ends

finally a post by you I can agree on. You should do more of these.... and instead of tight ends, how about buying Sanjay the rabies treatments he so desperately needs?

I'm disappointed Samuel is a non-factor in this offense. He's been injury prone and not used enough. People are completely forgetting we spent a high 2nd round pick for him

[Fox007]

And this is phillyB.

He's not just some irrational poo poster with a history of such things.

Shula is the biggest dung heap of an NFL thing that I've ever seen. He's as unfit to be an OC as he is a man. 

[LinvilleGorge]

The absolutely TERRIFYING thing is that Igo has said in the past that Shula is well thought of by JR and management. The guy could probably do anything he wants this season and still be safe.

This is a really weird spot to be in as a fan. I honestly kind of feel like we have to make a run at a Super Bowl this year and then suffer through another Hurney era or we have to tank so damn badly that JR has to admit that we have to go a completely different direction. Anything in the middle I fear will lead to the worst of both. No chance at a SB this year and we're still stuck with another Hurney era... and Rivera and his dipshits. Not a fan of how conservative Rivera is as a head coach, but I'll give it up to the guy that he's knows D and brings in some great defensive minds. It's just the fact that he can't accept that Shula was a mistake, is a mistake, and will be a mistake.
