SNY does it's own Isiah Quotes. Also of note, whenever Julie Donaldson gets tired my face is certainly ready to provide a seat.

This was some good stuff. We do need a GM who can set a course for the franchise and get this team headed in a solid direction. This Isiah and Dolan experiment has failed and it's sad to see the team like this.

I didn't think it was possible for this team to be even worse than it was in the LB season.


We've seen these very same players function at a higher level that this before and even this year at the start the team was functioning even tho it wasn't great, it was nothing as bad as we've seen recently. Why so many 20 point deficits and a total lack of production on offense or D? It's not just about the players. This is evidence of a total breakdown and failure of the Coach. Heck when Reggie Theus outcoaches you with a bunch of role and bench players, you can't just ignore that.

So I agree with the idea that Isiah has to go and then we can perhaps begin to assess what needs to be done. Yeah we know we need to clean house, but it's not that simple. We need a GM who can figure out a process for rebuilding this thing the right way. With the Contracts we have that's not gonna be easy. The thing is WHO?

What do you say to those who told, not just you, but many others they would be or who thought our situation wasn't going to improve anytime soon?

I don't think it was a sure thing either way. There were reasons to be optimistic that the team could improve and get into the playoffs. A total breakdown like this wasn't a sure thing, so just because there were some people who had no faith in the team, doesn't mean they were 100% right either.

To be honest I believe Isiah is more of the problem than the players. Yeah they haven't always played hard or smart or done anything well, but how can you explain the team actually getting worse in every way? That's not natural. It tells me that it's more than just the players who we all knew were flawed to begin with, so that's no surprise. The idea is to get them to play some semblence of team ball. Isiah has failed to do even that.

When the organization, or country, or whatever comes to the point when change is inevitable and change is not coming the things are going ugly.
De facto this team is not exists any more. It's a shadow of the past. Zombie…
It should be laid to rest and only then new life can slowly grow from the ashes.
