IMO its Flus being a DEF-minded HC wanting his OFF to stay out of risky situations at any cost. He'd rather go three down punt then risk turnovers. Safe on 1st, safe on 2nd, if you convert good, if not---punt and trust the DEF.

Certainly a possibility
As I call it, the Ole' Lovie O. Let Def and St's win, I don't understand O and I don't want to, so don't get in my way please.
Penalties have hurt the offense. How many times do you see Caleb backed up to a 20 yards to the line of gain situation, or if it's a 15 yard penalty he's 25 yards behind the line of gain. The defense knows what's coming in those situations... it puts a hurt on the QB.

Some of this may also be a lack of confidence in the OL. Short quick passes because they don't think there will be enough time for routes to open up.
