So it can't possibly be guys who can't recognize their responsibility on the field? Who had Adams on that play and why did he leave him? Why didn't anyone pick up Wilson on the first TD or Adams on the long one? I don't like this scheme, but I seriously doubt that it doesn't account for every player on the offense.

Yes.  It's guys who can't recognize their responsibility on the field.  It's professional players who can't do what any college level player could probably do: know what their responsibility is on the field.  That problem is on the coaches.
You can't tell me that we need smarter players or better players, because this is so fundamental that almost any decent player could be taught how to play better than that in that situation.
