Dude coached his best game yet! I mean leading, trailing and tied up, he stuck to his guns-his game plan. He was going to run Ajayi till he breaks. Defense was a little conservative for me but hey a win is a win.
 
As much as I like him, disagree. He got away from run for a while in 2nd half and made questionable call to play for FG before the Franks miss. Also, that sequence of calls where we threw screen to Landry and he dropped it was odd. Not his best game. The players bailed him out. Then he got it together late I agree.
 
Here's a fun nugget. Today I watched the game in a Michigan sports bar and sat next to a nice couple who were also rooting for the Dolphins. Come to find out they actually live in Denver and are good friends of Adam Gase and his wife. They said they became friendly with the Gases when they first moved to Denver have even celebrated Christmases together. I asked the husband what Coach Gase thought of Tannehill and he said he "loves him". I asked if that meant professionally or personally and he said, "both".
 
I really like Gase and think the hire was a homerun, but I think he had a bad game today.

The playcalling in the 4th was not good

I can't recall if it was our last drive in regulation or 2nd to last....but we completely abandoned Ajayi and the run when we need to move the ball and burn clock. I thought that was terrible play calling.

Gase is good, and I like him a lot as our coach, but sometimes he gets away from what is working. It worked out for us today.......but we have all seen it. I attribute it to the learning process as you have to keep in mind he is a rookie coach. I expect that to get better and better from him.
 
The sequence w Landry reverse Landry screen Landry 3 yard completion was an abortion.
 
Coaches typically win games on the six days leading up to the game.

Anyway, if Franks misses a 55 yarder to end regulation, there would be a thread titled 'Gase lost this game'. Head coaches typically are less smart or dumb than anyone gives them credit for.

I'm not sure anyone on this board thought Franks really had a chance of making the 55 yarder. I know I didn't. And I think if Damien Williams had gotten out of bounds, we probably don't even kick it -- we run a play to try and get the first time and then spike the ball to kick the field goal. Bad luck turned into good fortune.
 
He nearly lost it too.

Anybody who needs to burn clock late in the 4th quarter, against the 27th ranked run defense, that you have been running against at will all game long, and calls the plays he did in that series, didn't coach his best game of the season. Unless you were coaching the Browns.
 
We came pretty close to losing, and had we then there was plenty to fault him with.

As it turns out, there are also some good things...What I noticed being his seemingly level head with playcalling and not taking dumb rookie type risks. Punting in overtime around the 50 on 4th and short, stuff like that.
 
Hey, Gase has managed our games enough to get an evenly talented team wins consistently. I'm on the bandwagon! Now he has the players believing. We have some great players ... but we're winning more than our share because of Gase. Maybe we have finally found a successor to the legendary Don Shula? Fingers crossed!
 
I think his best move was to call timeouts before the last Bills TD. Not every couch dose it, sure prior Dolphins couches wouldn't

Click to expand...

If you are talking about when we got the ball back with like 5 min left, ...I honestly don't think you can go into that drive with the mentality that you are there to burn clock. Bills still had time-outs and the 2 min warning. Had to treat that like any other drive in which you use your whole playbook to drive and score. Now, they did call some conservative plays and Landry had a big drop on a quick pass to the sideline that might have been a first down or kept us at 3rd and short. It just didn't work out. But playing to burn the clock there is a total Sparano/Philbin "please don't beat us" move. The fact that Gase has some nads should not count against him.
 
He got fortunate with missed FG's by Carpenter, though Franks also missed a FG. And he did get his offense to put up 34, but his D let him down for 99% of that game. He coached well but also made some bad calls. He's learning, to be expected.

We have some big gaps in talent at linebacker and with injuries, in our defensive backfield. This is not a 10-5 defense, but we're sitting at 10-5. We're now giving up about 400 yards per game.....so I think overall, I'd have to say Gase is a pretty good game manager.
