As with most complaints with playcalling, I thought complaints yesterday were overblown. Yeah, sure, could've done better but the fact is there are an insufficient number of playmakers on this offense to ever really feel confident. (the offensive line playing one of its poorest games in a while certainly didn't help. Wilkes was probably the worst but he was scarcely alone.)
So, if you want to blame coaching for our offensive woes, it's more accurate to focus on what we were doing in February through August. This is something Shaw is going to have to be honest and proactive in his self-assessment: is this a temporary problem, a talent problem, or is it a coaching problem? Or a combination of the three? The 2013 season rests on his self-assessment and the execution of whatever he identifies as the solution.
