Cam Newton threw 27.5% of his passes into Tight Windows today. No quarterback was forced to throw into Tight Windows that often this season.

I would hope even you would figure out that if more than one receiver ends up in the same spot it wasn't designed for that to happen. It has to be an execution problem because on the white board everything works the way it is supposed to.

Isn't that what I said?  That Olsen and McCaffrey are too stupid to understand Shula's amazing routes and schemes?

[panther4life]

Shula called a great game last night and the huddle still wants to blame him for everything. Cam and Shula both did everything possible to win this game. The missed FG, dropped passes, bogus grounding call, Brees and crew playing lights out, were reasons we lost. Not the offensive coordinator. The blind hatred some of you have is beyond ridiculous.

What is considered a "tight window"?

[panfanman]

"Forced"?  I think not.  A pass is a choice made by the QB.  I've seen plenty of times Cam throw to a well covered receiver while another was wide open.

And I've seen our guys tightly covered more than times being free

You did say that and once again shows your limited understanding of how routes get changed at the line of scrimmage based on how the defense.lines up and other variables that change the way a route is executed resulting in confusion with a rookie and vet who didn't play together most of the year.

I get annoyed when the GM talks about the holes we need to fill, but ignores the coaching staff side of things. I can live with Ron, but send Shula packing please.

I still can't believe people don't understand that Rivera and Shula are a package deal.

You know why Shula does the stupid, time-wasting, run-into-a-brick-wall-repeatedly stuff he does?  BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RON RIVERA LIKES TO DO.

Earth to Carolina Fans:  Mike Shula implements game plans and calls plays as he is instructed by his HEAD COACH.

And real GM's can fix that. I know that they are attached at the hip, but it is up the a competent GM to separate them.

What is the alternative? That Olsen, McCaffrey, along with the entire rest of the team including the coaches are too stupid to recognize and address a clearly flawed play during practice? Or when they’re studying the playbook? Surely they’ve practiced those plays, right? Many times? You’re telling me that all the times they’ve ran that play in practice and Olsen/McCaffrey practically run into each other during their route, that no one is like “wait a second...something is wrong here”. The way I see it, there are 3 options:

1) Miscue from one of the receivers. Not  necessarily the wrong route, but even something as simple as not getting enough or getting too much depth on the route.

2) No one on our team (players, coaches, etc.) recognizes there is anything wrong with a play designed to have two routes essentially running into one another. 

3) Shula is some kind of egomaniac who, despite the players/coaches voicing their concerns, ignores them and keeps those plays intact just as he had designed.

Which is the most likely here?

And what are you basing that off of, besides your own disdain and bias towards Shula? You can argue incompetence, but incompetent and egotistical? He has never struck me as egotistical...and the way that players and coaches stand up for him (such as Olsen mid-season this year) makes it hard to believe that he is dismissive of his own players. You can argue “oh what is Olsen supposed to say”, but it’s easy to tell in the language whether someone is speaking their mind or just trying to say the right things. I.e. “fans don’t know what they’re talking about, watching and criticizing the playcalling from their couch” vs. something like “our job is just to go out there and execute the gameplan”. The latter would be more falling in line vs. the former being what Olsen actually said, more or less.

Plus the implication is that Ron doesn’t see the flaw and correct Shula, since you know...he is Shula’s boss and all. Or if Ron doesn’t see it personally, that the players who do see it, don’t feel comfortable going to a consensus “player’s coach” like Rivera and addressing it with him.
