The only thing I would say is that a play call (short-to-intermediate pass) relying on a team weakness (short-to-intermediate passing game) in an absolutely crucial game situation is always going to get criticized.

That said, in the Rose Bowl we had a bit of the opposite sort of criticism, when a team strength (running game) got stuffed repeatedly and the play-calling didn't adjust.
