I don't necessarily dislike the plays they are calling, but I do dislike some of the decisions that they have made.  Some of the 4th down decisions are headscratchers for me.  Like yesterday, ahead 17-0, we should have kicked the FG instead of going for the first down.  Because up 17-0, just a couple of FGs would put the game out of reach.  We did wind up getting to 23, but I still don't like that decision to go for it in that situation.  And I would add, that decision is not made by the OC.  The head coach makes that decision.  

But as for the play calling, the game plan is decided between the head coach and the offensive coordinator during the week.  The decision to run the ball off tackle is made during the week.  Press Taylor doesn't just pull that play out of his [BLEEP] during the game.  He and Doug and everyone else has had a hand in the design of the game plan, and they've practiced those plays during the week.  Then it's up to Trevor to either run the play or audible out of it, and it's up to the linemen to block effectively, and it's up to the back to run effectively.  That running play that was going for 1 yard or those bubble screens are the result of a lengthy process with many people involved in the planning and execution.  It's not just Press Taylor pulling plays out of his [BLEEP].

"Why aren't we as good as last year?"  We weren't that great last year.  We did get on a hot streak at the end of the season but we wound up 9-8.  We're starting out a little cold this year but it's a long season.
