But there actually is genius there.
Bill, McDaniels, and the rest of the staff drill these guys on plays, they work on them, they practice them, and then they call them.
The difference being, as Bill says, it's a players game. So he does leave it up to the players to execute or not execute.
I would bet you a $1000000 or more dollars that on breakdown Tuesdays (or whatever day the coaches and players review the tapes) that Bill/McDaniels went to Amendola and said "what did you see? Why?" etc and then learned from it, and then kept it in their back pocket for the next time.
So yeah, maybe it wasn't the best time to call that play, maybe it was from what they thought they saw, but Bill and staff have trust in their players to help them out if the players think they are making a mistake.
