Pat Shurmur can’t say it.
At least not as directly as he might like to. It would go against his rule of making excuses, and given the dilapidated conditions the Giants currently reside in with a 2-8 record it would be a bit unseemly to do so anyway.
But the very thing that is bringing this season down might be the same thing that allows him to keep his job when the year is over.
