There's always gonna be folks swinging away at the low hanging fruit and never bothering to look above it.

Play calling is easy to blame when a team struggles. I know I've been critical of it at points this year, had we not had the miscues and stupid plays I think Press would be getting a lot less heat. But the simple fact that the plays didn't work makes people understandably say "oh he should have called this play instead!"

Every team in the league can point to their play callers and questions decisions when plays break down. 

Had we not had all the stupid self inflicted mistakes this year Press would be a non-issue. He was fine. Did he make a few questionable calls? Sure, so did Doug last year, and so did Trevor with a few of his audibles. It happens.

For all the complaining, we had a 4000 yard passer (back to back for the first time ever), a 1000 yard WR everyone wants to kick to the curb, a 1000 yard RB behind an abysmal OL, and a TE with the 2nd most catches in NFL history among other records he broke. And likely would have had 2 WRs over 1k if Kirk stayed healthy.
