For whatever part of the play call there is on the coaches sending that hurry up play in, that falls on Doug not Press.  Even if Press called for it, Doug is listening and can veto and should have vetoed.  Not calling for anyone’s head as Doug is a great coach and offensive mind, but situational awareness is his responsibility above anyone else and it has been bad this year.

Agreed. That's happened multiples times this year where they had opportunities to find easy points before halftime but due to poor situational awareness between the players and the coaching staff they continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

There's plenty of blame and finger pointing to go around on this team right now. Which is atypical for a team that's barely hanging onto an above average record in general. Last year they were on the plus side of being lucky, this year, they're on the minus side of being lucky. 

At some point, they need to collectively take accountability, stop making excuses and just get the damn job done.
