I think most people here were frustrated with the extreme aversion to opening up the deep shots here and there to prevent defenses from keying on the short and intermediate areas that really pissed people off.

In Alex's last season they started opening that up a little, too, at least in the first eight games.
My biggest frustration was that they didn't take risks when they clearly needed to take risks. Throwing the ball deep at the end of the half when an interception was irrelevant, pushing the ball downfield when they needed a drive at the end of the game, and that sort of thing is when I felt that they failed by design.
