I choose to be an optimistic fan. Not about this season but that the debacle yesterday will beget some positive changes at least by next season. Shaw has shown in the past that he's willing and able to make effective changes (e.g., benching Nunes). But he is a conservative guy. He doesn't seem to make changes if things are even border-line good enough. Until yesterday, we had been borderline good enough.

This is the first blowout loss of the Shaw era. There are no ifs or buts. It wasn't a couple of broken plays here and there. It wasn't bad officiating. It wasn't a top-5 opponent. This was a near-complete meltdown. Either yesterday was an aberration (highly unlikely given our recent trajectory) or something needs to change.

Thank you Somnambule for choosing to be optimistic.  I know how hard that is today.  I sure hope you are right about Shaw making necessary changes.  I still believe we have the talent to do better on offense.
