Allie Sherman was a far better coach!

By far! I used to cry in rage at Yankee Stadium hearing the crowd break out in song.
Yes, Allie Sherman was a far better offensive coach that Shurmur.

And neither one knew a damn thing about defense, either.

Fire Shurmur and his whole staff.
That’s beyond Shurmur band Bettcher

They can only put square pegs in round holes. Two losers. This organization is now maybe in worse shape than the late 60s and 70s. This team is without direction, hope or a plan. The owner is spineless and clueless. The GM is playing back to the future and the coaches would do better playing 3 blind mice. What a shit show!
Consistency......

Is in play right now with consistent losing. Take a shot, hire steve belichick, and go through some parcells like growing pains with a young, determined intelligent leader, with his lineage......you have a shot at greatness.....what have you got now? Utter garbage. One more home game like today and jimmy Hoffa may get up and leave like most of the fans did!

That comment struck me as a dig at Shurmur.

Might also work. As might a plane flying around the stadium. And BTW, Adams stripping Jones for a TD brings back memories of Pisarcik's Fumble. But the worst is I'm not sure we've hit bottom yet.
Sherman Was Ruined

by bad drafts and terrible trades. Wellington Mara tried to quick-fix his way back to respectability after everyone from the glory years got old. Fran Tarkenton also sabotaged Sherman.

clatterbuck -- since I'm definitely old enough to recall that period (I was at everyone of the home games), I gotta ask how is it that Fran Tarkenton sabotaged Sherman? My view is that trading for Tarketon kept the team respectable (a couple of 7-7 years, not to mention a 9-5 year with Alex Webster), but I also felt that Fran masked and compensated for a very weak team that should have been drafting much higher in those years, and also Fran came with a high price in which we traded draft picks that became the likes of Ron Yary, etc.
