Not Gase's fault:
This team was middling at best prior to the injuries.
-Our safeties and ILBs were probably the two best groups coming in before Williamson hit IR in the preseason and Mosely became ineffective hours after the start of the season.
-Tru probably does us better on the IR than the field.
-Darryl Roberts was not an answer opposite Tru, and I don't think anyone saw Austin playing like he has been coming off of two ACL tears.
-Basically every corner that isn't Austin or Maulet(sometimes).
-Our OLine's talent level coming into this season could most likely be qualified as, "LOL!" Beachum is serviceable at LT, most of the time. Harrison might be the most talented player out of anyone on the OLine for their given position.
-Our receiving corps was incredibly underwhelming. Enunwa is a 2 at best. Anderson only flashes talent occasionally; he's just not that consistent.
-Injury demon striking again and taking Adams out.
Overall this team has consistently failed to commit to the offense in terms of quality personnel either in free agency or the draft time after time and it is painful. It is painful enough to make me question why I bother devoting this much time to them.
Gase's Fault:
This freaking offensive scheme where we went up against the worst run defense in the league who cannot set an edge and called 14 run plays to the inside, most of them directly at the defense's most talented player.
The offensive scheme that got us 8 losses including last night. The worst team in the league and he couldn't figure out away around their defense.
Penalties are the head coach's fault every time. Either prep your team better or hold the guy screwing up accountable.
