Sometimes Gase gives the press too much credit for being knowledgeable about this team and being competent journalists. Notice they didn't ask him to expound upon what we were 1-2 games away from. Did they not care or did they just choose to use imprecise information in their write-ups? All they needed to do and should have done was ask - Away from what? Isn't who?, what?, where?, when?, how? and why?, part of journalism 101?
Gase is not implying we are 1-2 plays away from going to the Superbowl. He is implying we are 1-2 plays away from basic NFL football 101, which is fully executing the plays called. There have been positive improvements after releasing AJ along and making his public complaint about some key players not doing their homework.
To paraphrase - We are 1-2 plays away from properly executing the plays called. It seems his public complaint about some of the better players not doing their homework is bearing fruit. It allowed him to reach those players who pay more attention to social media then their playbook, thru that social media without having to use social media himself. How many of you folks don't believe this message got thru to the entire team one way or the other?
I see that many of you want different plays called to give us better chance to win and add some excitement to these games, but seem to ignore the fact that some of the players we have can't execute the simple stuff that Gase has already given them. Why in the world would he be adding more plays when they can't execute the current list of plays they are already responsible for! Considering their current performance, adding the plays you want called would make those players less successful then they already are. Is that what you really want?
