Like patriotism, criticizing playcalling is the last refuge of the scoundrel...and the ill-informed.

I don't know about that.  If it wasn't hugely critical, the HC wouldn't be doing it.  The QB could do it on his own.

I'm not saying Shaw's playcalling was good, bad or indifferent, I don't possess the expertise to make that determination, and I'm pretty darned sure the guy who started this thread doesn't have it either.  But I won't say that playcalling must be inviolate from criticism.
