Also, going for a FG down three scores with 10 min left...if Shaw doesn't give an answer, then the obvious unspoken answer is the really disappointing and uncharacteristic answer about motivation...

Although nobody seems willing to verbalize it, I think the answer is in the back of everybody's mind. Shaw figured we weren't going to win this game at this point, but that he needs Toner to be good the rest of the year. Show some confidence in him and let him get back on track. Didn't work out that way, but I am pretty sure that was the thinking.

I don't know. We get a TD, a turnover for another one and we are right back in it.
I mean look what happened two years ago. I realize there was more time left then, but still.
