I stayed up for that?
I finished watching Ryder Cup at 4 AM and decided to turn on the Dolphins tape subsequently instead of waiting until Monday. I had no idea of any scores.
I have to say it didn't look like we tried offensively in the first half. But then again, most first halves it doesn't look like we try offensively.
Gase has far too much faith in the second half comebacks, largely because he's been unusually and fortunately successful far more than his share.
Tannehill needs to be trusted with aggressive darts over the middle and the occasional downfield throw, more often than the garbage sideways and underneath junk. Every week on our opening drive it seems like the goal is a punt from midfield.
Everybody could read Belichick's lips at least three times after the McCain sit down before the punt. Well, that Belichick phrase describes Adam Gase's first half approach virtually every week. You are forcing the defense to overachieve in order not to dig too deep of a hole. You are relying on late comebacks that rightfully should not succeed as often as they have succeeded since week 6 of 2016.
Charles Harris is funny to watch. He was very fortunate after New England's final touchdown that Rich Gannon on replay decided to focus on the downfield block involving other players instead of Harris being effortlessly knocked on his rear by Philip Dorsett.
Frank Gore was the bright spot. It wouldn't have mattered to the outcome but to avoid 3rd and long early in the game we could have fed Gore on early downs.
Good job by Gase to pull Tannehill and give Osweiler a possession. Tannehill for whatever reason really struggles to put up points on the board at New England, other than that second half in 2016.
