OC's can never win with fans.  If they do what most people would do in any situation then they are criticized for being too predictable.  And if they do something else then they are criticized for not doing what most people would do.

If the play breaks down or parts of our o-line are so horrible as most claim.

How can that be the fault of the OC's play calling?

The players either got beat or failed to execute...  or even if you'd like, AD didn't adjust to coverage correctly.

Those are excuses for coaching...  and valid ones at that.

What makes people think that their hindsight playcalling would have even worked in the first place?

Those variables still come into play in their scenarios as well.

And if you had the skill to analyze film on the level of NFL coaches you would be getting paid.

Because there are ways to mask the line's poor play when you have a back like Hill who plays the best in a style that could mask the line's poor play. 

It doesn't take much time to look at a play live and then on replay to tell what is working and why, as well as what is not working and why.
