Simply put yes. As one poster already said, there's only so much you can do but the problem is Zac didn't exhaust all his options. Where was the eye candy / motion? Why not use an extra blocker more often only to call an unsuspecting pass play out of that formation? Where was the quick bubble / screen passes to the WR particularly Chase? These are plays you run when your QB has no time...rolling him out is an option but at that point you're taking half the field away so you can only do that so many times and only in certain situations. I like Zac and I think he will learn but the play calling was suspect all postseason but especially bad last night.
