Were you that impressed by his ability to call 99% run plays tonight?

Absolutely. The last time we ran the ball more than 30 times was against Atlanta, and we won. Joe Brady couldn't get away from passing the ball. All he had to do was run it. And against Atlanta, nobody complained about the O-line play. People actually praised how well they played. Every O-linemen has more fun running the ball. That's why Brady was shown the door.

It's so easy! All we gotta do is call running plays and we win all the games!

Just because he is a very good OC doesn't automatically make him a good HC.

It's almost like some of you can't remember why he is a terrible HC and HC candidate. There is actually proof why that would have been a horrible idea.

 

Way better than what we have now. JS

They ran it and Buffalo knew it. Hell yes he knows how to game plan around stuff, when was last time we’ve had that?

I'm impressed by coaches who make the calls that lead to wins. 

It's not about being cute. It's about winning. 

Yeah he developed a gameplan that was good enough to win.  He did his job.  Doesn't mean I'm in awe of his Madden-style spamming of run plays over and over in 50 mph winds when he has a dominant defense, special teams, and o-line to rely on.  That's basically Rivera's dream gameplan there; the only difference is Rivera didn't have the personnel to pull it off.

I think McDaniels is a good offensive coordinator, I just don't think last night's game elevates him to godlike status which I'm apparently in the minority about.

Absolutely. I wish that was our offense.

Wrong.

That was terrible offensive football.  It was admitting that Jones didn't have the arm to throw in that wind.  That's all it was.  The game was tight.  There is no excuse.  It's not like the Pats put the game out of reach running.  They were a couple dropped passes away from losing the game.

That's an offense Ron Rivera would be proud of.  BS.  It was a terrible display by a team that effectively admitted the limitations of their rookie QB.  This was a game the Patriots simply didn't lose.  Which is very different than saying they won it.

Barely 200 yards of total offense?  Come on.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By frankw · Posted

      PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Also, this post is EXACTLY what I wanted to move on from Bryce this offseason and sign Jameis. Because he'd be slinging the ball all over the field and it would expedite the growth of all our young pass catchers, which to me, regardless of our record, would have made for a "winning" season.  We all want our long term franchise QB, but if you can't get that, expediting the improvement of the rest of your roster is a solid consolation prize given the state of our franchise.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By Icege · Posted

      You are correct that context matters. Let's look at the timing of those six (I accidentally counted one of Etienne's previously) runs of 10+ 11-yd run | Q2 10:43 (0 - 17) 14-yd run | Q2 9:49 (0 - 17) 25-yd run | Q2 1:47 (7 - 17) 53-yd run | Q3 14:53 (13 - 17) 43-yd run | Q4 9:09 (20 - 17) 16-yd run | Q4 4:31 (27 - 24) Q1 the offense basically walked onto the field and then immediately off thanks to Bryce's turnovers, but that's the only quarter that Dowdle didn't rip off a 10+ yard run. I think that's also where folks are basing most of their frustration... because Q1 was straight cheeks. By the half though, it was 10 - 17 with the Panthers set to get the ball to start the half. That's not a situation to get desperate and start flinging it everywhere. Though not exactly related to the topic, I do have to give Evero credit where credit is due. There were halftime adjustments made that resulted in the Dolphins not being able to mindlessly abuse the defense over the middle. That's not even mentioning how they completely stuffed the Miami run game in the second half as well.
