New York Giants fans calling for Pat Shurmur’s job are not overreacting

The New York Giants lost in embarrassing fashion on their home field to a woeful Arizona Cardinals team Sunday, and a big reason why is the poor decision making of Pat Shurmur.

Patience is a virtue. But patience without results is plain stubbornness. Anybody calling for Shurmur’s job has every right to do so at this point.

Down three points with a 3rd and 18 on their own 27-yard line with 3:18 left to play, Shurmur called a draw play, resulting in a three-yard run. Instead of punting on fourth down and flipping field position, Shurmur decided to go for it on 4th and 15 from the Giants 30.
