Points are up, mistakes are down and creativity is in.
Adam Gase has the Miami Dolphins offense pointed in the right direction, and he deserves some props. Gase isn’t ready to take any bows, because the Bills are on docket and there’s no reason to think the Bills won’t beat the Dolphins if they don’t bring what they brought to the Pats last Monday.
Yes, they brought emotion and passion and better pre-snap focus and even some Madden spin moves (Kenyan Drake and even Jay Cutler) to Hard Rock Stadium. But Miami also won that game decisively because their head coach and play-caller, Gase, did a remarkable job of game-planning and game-day calling.
He is supposed to be an offensive guru. And he sure looked like one on Monday night.

Gase seems to be opening up the playbook now. They looked great the last 2 weeks. Even though Denver sucks this year, they still have a top defense. Then to dominate the Patriots, that was amazing.

The Pats are a dirty ****ing team. I’m still pissed about their offensive lineman’s move on Phillips. Someone needs to teach those ****s a lesson and put a helmet to Brady’s knee.

This...but to be fair, it's difficult to see what he was trying to do, BECAUSE of the lack of execution. I'm of the opinion that the players had to execute the basics before the playbook could be expanded.

Of course, I'm not an NFL coach, so my opinion is somewhat uninformed, but that's what makes sense to me.
 
I only saw one half of football where I got the feeling gase had thrown in the towel for that week as a play caller...like he felt so handicapped...cant remember which game though but I remember saying after that tape says I cant trust these guys to execute therefore we are taking it back to football 101

if he for whatever reason doesn't make it as a head coach (and I see zero chance that he wont make it provided he has a qb that can execute) he's gonna be one hell of a top shelf offensive coordinator for a very very long time

I agree that execution has been limiting Coach Gase’s ability to call an effective game. I do not agree that he has crushed it all season.

It was definitely difficult to extrapolate his plan from the trainwreck of plays we saw earlier in the season. I do believe that early in the season the plethora of head coaching responsibilities impacted the offensive game plan quality control side of having the right plays on the sheet for the skill sets of his players. Before the inevitable statements to hand over play calling to the OC, I will state that would be a mistake. Coach Gase is too good at programming adefense to setup plays to relegate this responsibility.

you can't drop that around me without providing examples preferably specific examples from before and after

Now now my friend two wrongs do not make a right! Plus not to mention all the bad karma you call up on such a request.

Here's the only example needed:

* This season you are saying everything is Cutler's fault

* Next season you will be saying nothing is Tannehill's fault

Track records are established. We all have biases. Using a random screen shot to try to pretend it explained everything is something Sons of Shula used to do. It was fluff then and it would be fluff now. Examples are fragile. But multiple posts in every thread aiming every condemnation at Cutler is more than a bit tiresome and amusing. I posted in preseason once Tannehill went down that the one guarantee around here would be that Tannehill's biggest supporters would go out of their way to obsess over the 2017 quarterbacking, while pretending Tannehill would have magically solved and cured everything. Ryan Tannehill's greatest season is one in which he never took a snap. He's suddenly far beyond any level he's ever managed.

Fortunately most of the other posters I considered for that tendency have largely stayed away from it. They have either watched and rooted, or focused on other matters like the running back situation. You have been the exception, fixated solely on Cutler and his so-called execution, while trying to pretend Adam Gase has been fabulous all season. And also rooting for the Dolphins to lose every game, for that cherished draft slot.

Yes, Cutler has had a poor season. But it has been nicely imbalanced, to the point he hasn't wobbled around with one mediocre game after another, like Tannehill so often does. Cutler has had abysmal games and many very good games. Someone correctly posted here the other day that Cutler now has four games above 100 passer rating, while Tannehill in his breakout 2016 season had three of those. We have taken advantage of those very good Cutler performances -- other than the Raiders game -- and we have also won two games in one season as double digit underdog for the first time in franchise history. Consequently we're not far from where we figured to be. Only the route was strange.

I am not allowed to take it further around here. I wish I could. I realize it is frowned upon. But things like plus grade or minus grade mean absolutely squat. They likewise carry subjective bias and not much else. Until recently DeVante Parker somehow carried a plus grade for the season. There was nothing to recommend that plus grade, other than it had been bestowed prior to the season due to favoritism.

You're the 2nd poster to bring up the 4 games over 100 rating... Neglecting to bring up the fact that all other games he was under 80 except for one at 82...
