Instead of having Gore set 8 yards behind the LoS on 4th & 1, Gase should have had him set 10-15 yards behind the LoS.
Amazing, 99% of humanity knew that was gore up the middle, with less than 1% conversion chance. A 2 yard pass has a much higher chance to convert. Is Gase purposely losing? Is he guaranteed another year if he gets them TL?
I agree with you that Sam is a bad QB. That doesn't change the fact that Bates was a bad offensive coordinator.
I'm sure we all saw a play with a 38 year old gore running up the middle 4th and 1 coming... G&G. Gase and Gore all in for the tank
