While you're essentually correct I think it should be mentioned that it is the coaches job to make sure they're practiced and prepared so they don't do those things. That being said if it's not GUlutzan's tactics that are the problem then it's obviously going to take an uncomfortable amount of time to get them to the point where they can take advantage of them.
FWIW I think Gulutzan has them doing the right things but they're not doing them correctly i.e. it's a failure of execution not of tactics. Now Dave Cameron on the other hand... outside of the first game the Flames PP has looked awful. Tactically awful, not just in execution.
