The Dolphins led most of the first half but a blocked field goal by the Bills and a 47 yard field goal by the Bills as the half ended turned a 7-6 Miami lead into a 9-7 deficit.
The Dolphins have done most of their damage through the air today. Quarterback Chad Pennington has completed 11 of 14 passes for 146 yards with one touchdown. He has been actively searching for Ted Ginn Jr. today and as a result, the receiver has three catches for 67 yards.
The Bills are also having success throwing the ball. Quarterback Trent Edwards has 12 completions on 19 attempts for 107 yards.
The feel of the game is strange in that Miami has been leading much of the way and by all accounts has played better. Yet the Dolphins trail. Strange.
Anyway, the teams are coming back on the field now. Join me in the comments section for the continuation of the live blog.
Mando did they fix this blog yet?

if we stop giving them plays and. stop the turnovers we will be right back in it
Posted by: spiewak | October 26, 2008 at 02:35 PM
Phins have a chance if they do not give up a TD on opening drive of 3rd quarter.
Posted by: Andrew H | October 26, 2008 at 02:35 PM
NFL.COM gave Miami an "undefined" safety. According to them the score is now 9-9, woo hoo!

Powder puff dolphins get ready to feel the pain of the buffulo Bills. Lets go bills(the original and rightful kings of the NFC East)
Posted by: dolphanforlife | October 26, 2008 at 02:36 PM
As I say in the new post, this game feels very strange. The Dolphins have played fine. They have been the better team it seems in the first half. And yet they trail.
You guys disagree?

Tony: The blog is messed up today. Sorry. I think we broke the internet
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:37 PM
Further proving dolphan4life is an idiot he prounounces the Bills as the power in the NFC East.
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:38 PM
guess it is true take a true powder puff to know one
Posted by: phil76 | October 26, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Lynch for 4 yards.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Spread them out and run on us, why don't we try that.
Posted by: Joel | October 26, 2008 at 02:39 PM
i agree mando i think we will be fine
Posted by: spiewak | October 26, 2008 at 02:39 PM
The frustrating thing is the Dolphins never seem to make the tackle with the first try. There is always a broken tackle.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:39 PM
Yes, we SHOULD be winning now. BUT, we gave up the fumble, bad clock management, bad special teams, and blockd FG. All that = Points off the board for us, and points on the board for Buffalo.
Posted by: Andrew H | October 26, 2008 at 02:40 PM
You're right Armando. They have definitely played good enough to win today. It's the back breaking mistakes that are killing them. This will show up in the 4th quarter
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:40 PM
Vonnie Holliday took an finger to the face or eyes.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:40 PM
Seems like we have had plenty of opportunities to take score more points and we've bumbled all of them.
Posted by: Joel | October 26, 2008 at 02:40 PM
Shades of Jim Kelly and Thurman the Dolphin Killer Thomas. Go Bills!
Posted by: dolphanforlife | October 26, 2008 at 02:40 PM
No Make Blogger Ur Name Isnt Ted Ginn Sr. Is It?
Posted by: lll mikey | October 26, 2008 at 02:41 PM
Mando the game has a strange feel I agree.But I dont think they have played well.Too many mistakes -again!!
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 26, 2008 at 02:41 PM
when they spread our defense our guys are so confused its not even funny. where is the heart in this team the last 2 weeks. Serious steps backwards from the Patriots and Chargers game.
Posted by: pete in o town | October 26, 2008 at 02:41 PM
Wow u r such a loser
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Had to get the sack there!!
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 26, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Go Bills! way to go Junior Jim Kelly. Beat those powder puff dolphins!
Posted by: dolphanforlife | October 26, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Holliday's return is questionable.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:43 PM
thats should have been a sack
Posted by: spiewak | October 26, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Mando they have played better but they keep making foolish mistakes which the bills aint and if they dont correct that then blowout in the 2nd half
Posted by: Teddy | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM
The crowd here is dead right now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM
Defense Getting Tired
Posted by: lll mikey | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM

Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM
Hey I think the blog is working a little faster. That true?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM
If they score here, it's probably over.
Posted by: Joel | October 26, 2008 at 02:44 PM
anyone have a clue as to where the improvement is on this team right now?
Posted by: pete in o town | October 26, 2008 at 02:45 PM
Oh well, guess not.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:45 PM
And the Bills march on Oh my achin A##.
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 26, 2008 at 02:45 PM
They can't stop us baby! Run or Pass it doesnt' matter the dolphin D is a bunch of pansies! Let's go Bills
Posted by: dolphanforlife | October 26, 2008 at 02:45 PM
Pete the improvement is in that last time the Dolphins and Bills played, the Bills blew Miami out something like 34-14.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Mando they have played better but they keep making foolish mistakes which the bills aint and if they dont correct that then blowout in the 2nd half
Posted by: Teddy | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Just like I said after disasterous final possession in 2nd quarter. Game is OVER. Ugh.
Posted by: Andrew H | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
More missed tackle. More missed tackle. More missed tackles.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Way to go baby! spank those punks.
Posted by: dolphanforlife | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
wow another missed tackle
Posted by: spiewak | October 26, 2008 at 02:46 PM
No Tackling=defeat
Posted by: lll mikey | October 26, 2008 at 02:47 PM
Anyone who doesn't see improvement on this years team as compared to last has serious issues.
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:47 PM
There is still time for 34-13 Mando
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 26, 2008 at 02:47 PM
watching this team play is like masterbating with a cheese grater, mildy amusing but mostly painful
Posted by: pete in o town | October 26, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Create a link Mando everytime you change it up...
Posted by: Prince | October 26, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Load that defense in the offseason. WR,DB,LB IN FREE AGENCY, and cb with first pick, db with second,wr or lb 3rd and 4th.
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:49 PM
This game is not over yet.
Posted by: finheavenblows | October 26, 2008 at 02:49 PM
Mando-ever thoght about suiting up. I bet you can do just as well-at least you probably would try to make a tackle!!!
Posted by: Tony T Bone | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
N.name I Know
Posted by: lll mikey | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Vonnie holiday return in doubt? Has he even been playing this year? Other than reading about him i cant remember a play the old guy has made this year.p.merlin ftw!
Posted by: Teddy | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Armando, why are we not blitzing more today ? With the lack of a secondary, should we not try to force a few turovers ? On offense what the hell are they doing giving the ball to rickey for ? I don't think he will be here next season.
Posted by: Prince William | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
No improvement + poor fundamentals (i.e., tackling) + metal errors = bad coaching - period.
Posted by: vtdolfan | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
same dolphins different year
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM
OK. NOW IT IS TIME FOR US TO MARCH RIGHT BACK DOWN AND SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:51 PM
will the offense respond or will they just beat themselves again? Because the Bills certainly aren't beating them. They practically handed them the game in the first half. Teams learning how to be competitive and now needs to learn how to win.
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:51 PM
ok Buffalo unveiled Lynch, how about unveiling Ronnie? How is the gem from Gannon, "it's going to be about running the ball in the second half and right now it's all buffalo" IDIOT!!! we haven't gotten the ball yet!!!!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | October 26, 2008 at 02:51 PM
Pete didn't the guy in the Sopranos like to have a cheese grater rubbed in on his nether regions? Maybe he was a Dolphin fan!
Posted by: | October 26, 2008 at 02:52 PM
Cheese Grater.....damn
