What's your defnition of 'conservative playcalling'?

The argument of playcalling versus execution has been a topic all season. I've been on both sides of that argument at different times, but yesterday, it was quite obviously execution.

Washington is facing an unusual amount of injuries this season, especially along the offensive line. They're pulling guys off the street, playing guys out of position, and converting a defensive linemen who hasn't played on offense since high school. Their execution as a unit was very poor this week, but was that really a shock to anyone? They may get better with a few more weeks of practice, but to expect this incarnation of the line to be immediately successful is ridiculous. And to completely overlook the bad performance of the line and blame the playcalling is even more ridiculous.
