Pats Job

I know I will catch some flack, but he at least looked fired up this past game with the Stoolers.

He has looked fired up the past two games, I have noticed too.
Tells me there is change coming from the top. Instead of his buddy Holmgren holding a coffee klatch every Monday and discussing how the team "battles" and how the hazlenut creamer is tasty, Truckstop Jimmy is looking at Banner going "What the fuck?" and Banner is looking at Shurmur going "What the fuck?" and Shurmur is looking at his players going "What the fuck?"
Holmgren coddled him too long and gave him the "no training camp" excuse last year even though other rookie coaches were in the playoffs.
Fat Fuck Holmgren took $40 Million of Lerner's money, hired his cronies and held no one accountable.
With Holmgren gone, Shurmur is probably getting his ass roasted by Banner.
As for Shurmur keeping his job, he has two huge strikes against him:
1. The 0-5 start was inexcusable, rookies or not. Looking back, we had Philly and Buffalo at home and those were very winnable games. Had we started 2-3 we would be in playoff contention.
2. The losses to Indianapolis and Dallas. He was CLEARLY outcoached in both games and turned wins into losses and Jimmy and Banner were there to watch every snap. Remember the awful 4th & 1 punt versus the Colts with the Ball in their territory and six minutes to go? Remember the 13-0 lead on the road against Dallas blown by not going going for the jugular and playing turtle on offense and prevent on defense?
I'd have to think he's hanging by a string and only 8-8 or 7-9 may save him. But it might even be too late for any save at all.

He should've been fired at the bye week. HE SUCKS

The good thing that came out of this whole thing is we have a competent GM in Tom Heckert.. If he didn't have holmgren in his ear to draft every QB under the sun he likes he would have a really good draft track record. I am enjoying Mack pinkston lauvao and Schwartz on the o line
Loving Hughes, Winn, sheard, Taylor, and Rucker from FA
JMJ and Robertson and fort are filling in well at LB depth.
Haden and ward are producing. Skrine is a decent nickel. Brown from FA has been serviceable while we wait for a compliment to Haden.
Weeden and McCoy are alright.
Richardson will produce.
Gordon and little and to some degree Benjamin. All producing.
Cameron looking good second half of the season.
Huge misses include marecic and possibly Robiski massoquai and hardesty. But I can't remember if Heckert was around for those players.

The fact that we only beat the Steelers by 6 points after forcing 8 turnovers should tell you all you need to know. The guy just isn't good enough as a head coach.

how sad is that?? they couldn't even finish that game they held on for dear life hoping the steelers wouldn't score and win..

I feel confident that Shurmer will find a way to lose to either Oakland or KC, and win against Denver, Pitt or Wash. We'll go 5-11 and Shurmer will be long gone. It's obvious to me that Haslam dislikes the guy and can't stand the way he calls plays.

With two very winnable games coming up and the chance to sweep the Stoolers for the first time since 89?
Like it or not the job is Pats to lose right now.

IMHO, he's already lost it. Take a look at Mr. Offensive Genius' ranking compared to the rest of the coaches in the NFL, and tell me he deserves to stick around. In fact looking at his St Louis resume, he never should have been hired as a HC in the first place!

Robiskie and Massaquoi were not selections made by Tom Heckert I don't believe.
Shaun Lauvao and The Schwartz were.
As were Benjamin, Gordon, Little, Cameron, TR, Hardesty ( who might actually finally become a serviceable backup)
Also include Pinkston, Ryan Miller on the OL
And Hagg and Wade at DB
Brad Smelley is still on the practice squad...or is holding down special teams duties.
Emmanuel Acho has been on IR
Plus, look at the street FAs on this team: Fort, T. Gipson, Robertson
With better coaching this team with 9000 rookies could be pushing .500.
Marecic, Carlton Mitchell, Clifton Geathers and Larry Asante seem to be the only true busts on Heckerts resume to date....and only Marecic was higher than a 6th rounder.

Schwartz is playing very well lately, BTW. He looks like a Home Run.
Heckert has built solid lines on both sides of the ball.
We need a pass rusher and secondary help. We need for the young playmakers on offense to improve.
I hope Heckert gets to stay around to enjoy the fruits of his building the interiors.

Exactly. I don't want Heckert to get shipped out of town by association. I honestly feel he was pressured to pick so many qb's.
I haven't read many reports about Heckert and banner in Philly. But they should look at the drafts he's put together and FA spending and see if that is something they think is acceptable or if they have someone who can do better.
All I know is if they bring in some clown as GM and blows drafts like savage did... I'm gonna be real salty.

Seems to me that he missed his optimum opportunity by not getting the Michigan State HC job.
And wonder of wonders....we finally realize why Shurmur sucks so bad....he was born in Ann Arbor Michigan.
I mean, too bad for him but he has been walking around like Pig Pen from Peanuts with a cloud over his head from the day he was born!

Lauvao is the worst player on our team. Nearly every call that goes against our o-line is him, how could you like him?

Maybe because simply he is better than what the Browns had before they got him, which was really putrid. But no, an upgrade at that position is a need. Not as big a one as another CB or FS or LB, but we could improve.

Unfortunately, I could see him keeping his job because of our last 3 home wins..but be honest..coaches who coach not to lose, deserve to be fired no matter the case. When he tried to run out the clock against Arizona last season I wanted to murder him.
