Chicago: Burrow throws 3 consecutive INTs, yet we only lose by 3. i suppose Zac shouldn't have called for 3 INTs in a row

Packers: We take the best team in the NFL in OT and would have won if our kicker didn't miss 2 consecutive FGs. I suppose Zac shouldn't have called for the back to back missed FGs

Jets: Up by 5 in the 4th and JB throws a silly INT. I suppose Zac should have taken the ball out of JB's hand. Despite this we are still set up to get a final tying/winning score but Hilton is called for a phantom Unnecessary Roughness call after we stop them on 3rd and 11. I suppose Zac should have told the ref not to make the call

Are these things mutually exclusive? Isn't is possible that Zac can make poor calls/decisions and the players also fail to execute?

Obviously Zac didn't throw the 3 consecutive interceptions, but he did have a game plan that didn't have an attempted pass longer than 11 yards until the end of the 3rd quarter. The significance being that Chicago had been burned the week prior on deep passing.

It was a good game with Green Bay but much like San Francisco in OT they decided to run a couple of times and settle for FG opportunities when they could have been/stayed aggressive and went for the end zone.

I understand you are intentionally being obtuse and trying to make those who disagree look bad, but no one is blaming Zac for execution. The players have needed to execute better in situations just like Zac has needed to have better game plans or play calling in games as well. Zac has taken the blame for some of these things himself.

I admit that he has done a lot of good as head coach. The players love him, have bought in, and they're having fun. Let him be the head coach. I don't see whats wrong with wanting a better play caller/OC to help take the offense up a notch or two. We have the talent and the weapons.
