Yes I know our defense was the main reason we won but you still have to score. Coming out of halftime our offense needed to do something and they did.That first drive was almost 9 minutes and we got the TD......then the offense gets the ball again and we score another TD which I know there was some luck to it but some nice plays too. Then we score two FG's to tie it and win it, mostly thanks to our defense but the offense did move the ball better today. Even in the first half, even thought we didn't score we were moving the ball. That dumb penalty by James killed one drive. A drop by Landry killed another drive and the INT killed yet another drive but at least we did move the ball and we were missing Parker.

I'm not saying the offense is fixed. Far from it but we've all be hard on them (for good reason) so I think they deserve some credit today. We get the jets at home next Sunday. 4-2 is now possible

Ozzy rules!!
 
They certainly improved a bit in the second half, but they have a long way to go before they be they are functional unit though.

Ajayi is really stepping up
 
Loved that Grant finally got a PI call down the field
Hope the Thomas experiment is done.
Landrys 1st down was huge. He took a lot of contact on that play.
Would like to see Drake more involved.
 
Defense gave up 17 in the first half offense scored 20 in the second. Balanced performance.

He never stopped, Ajayi and this defense are carrying Gase hard, imagine if Gase actually called good plays, had balls or rhythm?
 
The across the field throw to grant was a terrible throw but an even worse play design. Gase is too predictable and runs a dink and dunk offense that is easily derailed by a penalty, drop, or blown assignment. He deserves very little credit for this game as it was mostly luck and good defense.

The offense is still trash and the only reason the Dolphins had a chance was the defense shutting down one of the best offenses in the NFL for a whole half in their own building.

Not gonna give credit to the offense until they actually score in the 1st quarter. Cutler is overrated and Ajayi was the only offensive player who gave a damn to start the game.

Also, Pouncey is probably the most overhyped offensive lineman I've ever seen. 0 drop in production when we went out with an injury. Waste of so much money.

So because they didn't score in the first half the other 20 points don't count? I didn't say we have the greatest offense ever all of a sudden. All I said was they needed to score some points in order to win and they did. On the road. They have lots of work to do but imo they deserve some credit here but you can keep on hating them if it makes you feel good. It was ugly but I love that we're 3-2 instead of 2-3

I didn't get to see the game, did everything turn around when Pouncy went out?

I noticed the pass blocking seemed better with Pouncy went out, but our run blocking got worse. A lot of Atlanta's rush seemed to be coming up the middle. I've said for years that Pouncy is great one-on-one (which is why he run blocks so well), but in a unit his pass blocking is a liability.

Yea all those 4th down calls with a struggling O. Gase has no balls

One half in one game, the other 9 halves have been by far the worst offense in the league, and the most scared play calling in the league. He did the same thing last year until Ajayi started carrying him, all Gase has shown is that he needs to be carried by players to have any offense and that he is the one holding this team back. Gase hasn't even been mediocre with the amount of luck we've had, the talent on this team, and his decision making.
 
I have to admit, I thought we were toast when we went down 17-0. If we would've played the first half like we did the second half we would've won the game outright. It would not have came down to trying to hang on to a 3 point lead with 40 seconds left.
