For many in South Florida, the Dolphins' surprise playoff season was cause for celebration.
Don't count Adam Gase among them.
Asked at the NFL Scouting Combine if he can take some satisfaction in the Dolphins' 10-6 campaign, Gase responded:
"No, because next year nobody will care about all that. We'll be 0-0 when we start the first week of the season and nobody will care what we did the year before."
In fact, Gase is still a little salty about how the season ended -- with lopsided losses to the Patriots in the regular season finale, and then to Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round.
"It still stings a little bit," Gase said Thursday. "It's hard to get over the last game. Every time you're watching cut-ups and something comes up and you see the chances you had here and there, it still bothers you."
Gase praised the fight his team showed, considering how shorthanded it was. The Dolphins were without starters at quarterback, center, tight end, linebacker, cornerback and safety in their 30-12 loss to Pittsburgh.

They needed to rely on guys like Bacarri Rambo, who wasn't even in the league in September, to play meaningful snaps. They simply ran out of bodies to compete, particularly on defense.
But the experience banked by a slew of young players will pay dividends going forward, Gase added.

With both teams at 100%, I think the Phins beat the Steelers in a close game.
The Phins were a shell of the team that blew out the Steelers earlier in the year. I realize the Steelers had several players out in that game, but not nearly as many as the Phins in their playoff meeting.
 
If Tannehill was healthy I believe we win. Either way its good to have a guy dedicated to never letting that happen again in Gase. Sometimes you need the taste of failure to create winning habits.
 
Our defense in particular look like an entire group of weak little girls when we played Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Pittsburgh smacked us in the face, kicked us in the ass and stole our lunch money. VERY DISTURBING.
 
I agree with you guys that we were a shell of the team that won 6 in a row and 9 out of 10 earlier but I'm glad Gase will not settle for losing regardless.

Better team on the field that day won. Even if Ryan was playing, Pittsburgh would of scored on every single possession if they needed to. Team was missing Maxwell, IAQ, Reshad, Kiko with a club on his hand . . . while already playing with reserve linebackers and 2 inexperienced CBs . . . on the road in one of the coldest Dolphin games we've ever played in.

Even if we got everybody's best game that day, we still would of lost that game. Just outmatched. Love that Gase is hungry to get back to that position but there is only so much that you can do.
 
We was hurt that game. Lots of starters out.
 
We were two turnovers away from tying the game. Hate to play the "what if" game but with a healthy Tannehill I think we win that game
 
We'll always have injuries to deal with at seasons end. That can not be an excuse.

Not saying Gase is saying that, but it will always be a factor to deal with and some fans dismiss it as though it won't happen next year.
