Offensive Thoughts Before Raiders Game

The Miami Dolphins offense isn't explosive but it has been efficient for most of the season

The Dolphins offense has not been explosive, but the truth is that's not what's been required.

The beauty of this Dolphins team is how well it plays situational football, and the situation more often than not has called for the offense to play it close to the vest and let the defense and special teams do the heavy lifting.

And that's fine because the bottom line is the Dolphins are 9-5 and staring at a playoff berth if they can win their final two games.

As they say, hey, whatever works.
 
Good coaching staffs don’t try to be what they aren’t they play to what the roster is. If you have a tons of high priced weapons like the Chiefs, yeah score a ton of points and play just enough defense. Miami now and NE for the past two decades have smart QBs who don’t make mistakes but play big in big games/moments.

Play to your strengths and try to win the way your roster and culture is best suited for. Teams get in trouble trying to be the chiefs or packers, if you aren’t built to score 40 then you try to play that way you will likely get blown out. If you are built to get pressure and play man on defense; allow 21-24 points and be smart of offense and be able to score enough to win you will keep that game close and be at the very least in a position to win.

Stat filled wins are fun to brag about and easy to “defend” to the media and friends. But winning consistently and doing it your way not allowing your game to be dictated otherwise makes you a truly great organization.
 
At some point the offense may have to do a little of the heavy lifting. That is the concern moving forward.

That said, obviously the team is well ahead of where most of us expected. To be talking playoffs with two games left is pretty exciting.

I understand and agree. But with another 1 or 2 WRs and a RB via early pics maybe we are 11-3 rather than 9-5.
Im happy, just wonder about the next level potential.
 
i just want people to taper their expectations. Even if we dont win out and miss the playoffs this season, it doesnt change the fact that we played very well most of the season. I am proud of where this team is at and headed.

That said, we absolutely need the running game to be active. If the running game is working, it helps the passing game, if the offense is clicking the defense's job will be made easier. It all starts with the run.

Last week the running game started slow and so did we but finished strong and so did we. I see a correlation.
 
As of right now,the Fins are running a high variance strategy on D which has been working great this season, they've used a low variance strategy on offense to compliment it. Fins have enough talent on the team to play this kind of game, they just switch when the D doesnt get the results which hasnt happened quite alot TBH... Arizona and KC come to mind...

In Arizona, they went straight to high variance on offense as soon as they got behind and it paid off. In KC, given the difference in team strenght, they should've went high variance straight from the get go even if the D got theirs, field goals simply werent enough of a paybacks for the D's TOs...

Against a team like the Raiders, I fully expect the Fins to roll as normal... Let the D dictate the game and play safe on offense. If, for any reason they feel the game is getting away from them, they'll switch and play high variance on O and more conservative on D.

Next week against Buffalo, they need to go nuts on offense AND defense from the very begining.
