The ONLY problem I have with the play calling (which on the whole tends to be very good) is that Saunders seems to always have the worst possible play call ready for 3rd and short. It's very easy to predict that we are going to three step drop, and try to drill a pass at a guy who is standing 5 yards from the QB. You don't really need to defend it, because you can't catch a pass that JC throws if you are only standing 5 yards from him.

Do we ever run in 3rd and short? No. Do we ever take advantage of the short yardage to PA pass? No. We just throw it at someones feet and punt.

The worst part is, that I can completely predict that Saunders is going to do it every time we are in third and short. It's undoubtably the worst play call that can be made in that situation, and we do it 100% of third and short situations, no exceptions.
