Most people with a brain could see how poorly they let the O-Line go.
Sound familiar?
This go around at least they kinda tried but failed and then didn't do anything to fix the mishaps.
It got pretty contentious with Boomer and the fans after the '87 strike:
''I've thrown for over 400 yards twice now at home and they've booed me."
''I don't know what else I can do. I guess I have to give my salary to local charities, throw five touchdown passes and lead this team to the Super Bowl. That's the only way to get back in good graces."
''I'm not the President of the United States. I'm not running for the Supreme Court. I'm the football quarterback in a little city. Everybody wants to attack somebody and I guess I'm the one.''
''I could understand if I was not throwing for 400 yards and our offense wasn't playing well. It's near the top of the league. Who wants to play in a place they're not wanted?''
He endured his share of boos during the '91/92 seasons as well.
