Yeah, I think it's perfectly consistent to say:
1) the game last night was disturbingly bad
2) it was indicative of some bad trends in Stanford football that need to be reversed if the program wants to endure or progress beyond its current level
3) Shaw's a great coach

You can find some pretty bad embarrassments for literally any coach if you want to dig hard enough. So I don't think this invalidates Shaw at all. But I do think it should provide him and the staff with a kick in the pants to do better. Because ultimately the poor performance last night wasn't on bad luck or the players, it was on the strategy and tactics that got the team there -- i.e. the coaching.

I thought Chryst got worse as the game progressed.  He certainly returned to his old form of alternating between throwing behind receivers and throwing lawn darts. This was the team that lost to San Diego State, not the team the rolled UCLA and Oregon.  OL play was in the C- range.  Running backs ran into blockers.  Dumb penalties.  Defense kept giving up long first downs.  Questionable clock management.  And did we have to run the same play 3 times in row when going for two at the end?

This was a total team clusterfk.  This was like a return to the Wlat Era. 

For the record, I am happy we won, but damn, I feel sorry for the Beavs.
