"We just need to execute better," is Coach Shaw's version. And, being as vague and harmless as possible, it's true.

"We just need to execute better, and that responsibility falls first and foremost to me and my coaching staff."

"I was surprised by how poorly our running game was tonight. 38 yards on 22 carries isn't getting the job done. We need to do better."

"I'm proud of the way our defense played in the second half. We made some adjustments at halftime and they seemed to work well."

The part that I find most delusional is his discussion of the QB performances. Spin can't fix the reality that McKee was head & shoulders better than West, which was a pretty low bar. I'd rather he not go into depth on it, because it makes him look like he isn't seeing things for what they are. I'm not expecting him to throw West under the bus, but something like "Jack seemed to struggle tonight, but I'll wait until we see and study the film."
