Title: Can Gase set himself apart? Post by: dolphins4life on September 19, 2018, 12:05:24 am Since 2002, this is Miami's fourth 2-0 start.
Each of those times has been with a different head coach. 2002: Dave Wannestedt 2010: Tony Sparano 2013: Joe Philbin 2018: Adam Gase The last three times this has happened, the Dolphins fell apart and missed the playoffs In 2002, Fielder got injured. However, with the division title and a first round bye on the line, the Dolphins fell apart 2013 was the biggest disaster of all. Miami choked away game after game they should have won. What are the keys to avoiding a repeat this season? Title: Re: Can Gase set himself apart? Post by: fyo on September 19, 2018, 09:16:36 am What are the keys to avoiding a repeat this season? Win 10 games? ;) Title: Re: Can Gase set himself apart?

Perhaps that's not as big of an achievement as I think it is. :o
Title: Re: Can Gase set himself apart? Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 19, 2018, 12:07:02 pm In theory, approximately 1/4 of all teams 2-0 in any year. Going 2-0 doesn’t mean you are playoff bound. And going 0-2 doesn’t mean you are out of the running for the SB.
Actually, the last time the dolphins won the division they started out 0-2. Beating the Titans and Jets doesn’t prove the team is playoff caliber, it means they don’t suck (which is a good thing). Same thing with Raiders. Week 4 we find out if the Dolphins have what it takes to be a contender. Title: Re: Can Gase set himself apart?

And going 0-2 doesn’t mean you are out of the running for the SB. Try telling that to the talking heads. All I kept hearing all week about Dallas was that there was something like a 12% chance of making the playoffs if you started out 0-2, but then I started thinking that's like 1 in 8. Going with the same premise that you did above that there's probably going to be a handful of teams that start 0-2 pretty much every year then the chances a team that starts 0-2 makes the playoffs is about every other year. In fact I read that an 0-2 team has made the playoffs every year since 2013. Doesn't sound quite so bad when you look at it that way does it?Actually, the last time the dolphins won the division they started out 0-2.

Post by: raptorsfan29 on September 23, 2018, 05:35:15 am I'm thinking that just one win in the playoffs would set him apart. i think the phins are 1-3 in the playoffs since 2001. So maybe 2 wins in the playoffs.

Title: Re: Can Gase set himself apart? Post by: EDGECRUSHER on September 23, 2018, 05:02:00 pm Everyone is getting the ball and involved, no one is a star. Sucks for your Fantasy Team and for these guys come free agency, but it's helping them win football games. I would like to think this is Gase's strategy.
