I agree, mostly. I think that player execution, ability, and smarts are way more important than play calling. However, I do think that sometimes a play is called that puts one team in a better position to leverage their abilities (or mitigates that leverage). One play comes immediately to mind from last year:

IIRC, Shaw even told Hogan not to tell the rest of the offense that he was keeping the ball. Granted, the rest of the team had to do their job, but that was a great call at that point of the game.
