[scorecard]

The first half was a bit frustrating to watch at times (with the late turnover being the saving grace), but otherwise my only concern is that a successful fade route in the red zone will lead to more fade routes.  Shaw's interview about Cajuste featured on ESPN's highlights suggests that we will.  I hate that play, with the fade to Toilolo from Nunes at Washington on 4th down being the number one reason why.  I hate that we would bring in Rollins Stallworth at times, all but telegraphing that we are going to throw the fade.  I suppose when we pulled the greatest upset ever at USC, we ran 3 straight fade routes, the first 2 to Evan Moore before the winner to Bradford.  But I still hate the fade.  Don't hate the player, hate the fade.
