I have to say that at this point, I consider this a successful season. We improved on last year's record with a first time head coach and a major injury to our starting QB.
No matter if we win either of our last two games, this season has been a success. Now, making the playoffs would be sweet and I hope we do, but I want to give credit where it's due. Very nice job by Gase in his first season.

Same here.
I'll have my crow now. I had this team as the "5-11 team nobody wants to play" in the preseason.mlb1399, Tin Indian, SICK and 4 others like this. -
I give pretty much all credit to Gase. At no point with all the injuries and the 1-4 start did any of us think we'd be here right now. This same team doesn't get more than 4 wins this year under Philbin.
Extremely excited about Gase, Tannehill and our defense next year. We could be witnessing the start of something really special.MAFishFan, resnor, Rick 1966 and 1 other person like this. -
No doubt. The really big deal at this point is that the team finally has a head coach who inspires some respect in his ability and his authority, which was accomplished this year no matter what happens from here on out. And that is a foundational piece of any successful NFL team that hasn't been present here since Jimmy Johnson.

Dolphin fans are still yet to grasp what's unfolding before their eyes.
37 yr old first time HC inherits 6-10 team, starts 1-4.... Loses 2 ALL-PROs and then his Qb.
He is about to lock up the coach of the year award... Hands down.
We suddenly have a superstar Head coach.... And this franchise has turned the corner we were stuck at for almost 2 decades.MikeHoncho, smahtaz, SICK and 4 others like this. -
If Gase doesn't win Coach of the Year, I will legit be very upset. He's done an incredible job. I know we haven't even clinched a playoff spot yet, but finally having a winning season after waiting 8 years is already huge and for my morale as a fan.

With a healthy Jones,Pouncey,Tannehill... I'd be talking about how we are going to win the Super Bowl this year. Amazing that we're missing our best players through all this.

Serve up the crow. Preseason, I had them around 6-10 to 8-8. At 1-4, I saw them as a 4 win team, tops, with 2-14 to 3-10 more likely.
I specifically dogged on X Howard preseason because what I saw from his college highlights was a stiff, straightline, grabby CB.
I assessed Ajayi as an under performing bum and was ready to cut his *** and give Isiah Pead a shot.
And that's why I'm not in an NFL office.Last edited: Dec 18, 2016Tin Indian, Simon, Finster and 2 others like this. -

If we make the playoffs he is a lock for Coach of the Year.

I thought they would win 9-11 games, so I am not surprised.

We're obviously biased since we're Dolphins fans, but I think if we make the playoffs, he should win COTY. What he did to revitalize a stagnant franchise is more impressive than what Garrett did this year, IMO. The Cowboys have been relevant this past decade, while the Dolphins have not.

Who had the 10-6 Giants EVER even being CLOSE to the 16-0 Cheatriots in the Super Bowl (thank you helmet!)?

Even if they lose out it's a successful season. Especially snagging a Road Win with the Backup QB.
BUT remember that this awful Jets team we just beat won 10 games last year and the Bills team we're hoping to beat on Christmas Eve had a pretty good season too. Both took a step back with a similar lineup.
The NFL has way to much parity to assume success long term unless you play in Boston.invid and Tin Indian like this. -
I've been banging the table for Linebackers for a while. Seems like every offseason. I wanted us to take Kuechly over Tannehill, lol.Last edited: Dec 19, 2016Tin Indian likes this. -
For my fellow fin fans who want to eat crow, I don't believe it is necessary. Considering what we have done under Philbin, I don't blame anyone for taking a bearish view on our team this year. That said, I am super impressed with coach Gase and our other coaches. How many games have we won due to a total team effort? Three or four? Considering our LB corp and our O-line being injured all the time, IMO on paper we have over achieved. But I like to look at like this is what you get when we have a team that plays together, is well coached, and believes in each other. I am happy with the direction of our team and I hope we get into the playoffs. Win or lose, it's going to really help our guys to get that kind of experience because the intensity jumps ten fold. A taste will only make them hungrier next year. Successful season? Hell yeah!

The media has been ignoring Miami all season. Gase will not win coach of the year, the NFL and media are so far up the Cowboy's *** that they can't see anything around them.
The narrative will be that Gase is a good coach but that the Dolphins were a fraud due to their schedule.
For that reason I want Miami to win at least a playoff game to really confuse these media "pundits"Surfs Up 99 and dWreck like this. -
