I think Gase's biggest flaw is that he gets in his own head and overthinks himself on game day. Gase needs a foil or someone to challenge him to bring him back. We actually heard a number of times last year in the first 1/3 of the season, Gase say he should have listened to Thill or others. Then all of a sudden, he starts including Thill in game planning and the offense takes off. I think Thill was the foil/check to counter Gase from going to deep down the overthinking rabbit hole. I don't think Cutler challenges Gase at all.
On top of all that, I truly believe the travel fatigue has set in. They've been on the road a lot....a lot lot, it is virtually unprecedented how much we've dealt with. With that much fatigue and that much stress, people get numb, like their brain is trying to swim through molasses.
They need rest. They need to start Moore. They need to cut Cutler and sign CKap.
