I agree 110%. The play calling looked to be tailored for what they thought would work and Croyle's inexperience. The lack of adjustment seemed to be the most glaring problem. The Colts adjusted and we didn't, that might be lack of faith (or ability) in Brodie or chickenshitedness, I don't know.
I think it is. Solari is getting better but he's got a conservative HC (and GM probably), a lack of talent on the Oline, a lack of experience at QB and a good D. The smart (or scaredy, depending on how you look at it) gameplan is more conservative, try to finish the season without embarrassment and getting experience for the younger guys. Then work next year fixing the problems.
I just wish we'd open it up a bit more, it's like not talking to a girl because she's not going to respond so you just give up and go home to beat one out. That's the safe plan.

I though those were thoughtful comments until your last allegory.
My gut tells me you are right - it's more Herm and his BucBall/NO Areana League attitude that is holding the team back. Perhaps Solari can do better next year with a new OLT, a new RG and moving MacIntosh to ORT?
