That mark was going to get challenged either way, by whomever was unhappy by the mark.

Wasn't enough for the first down.
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:26 PM
wrong time to challenge, we should have done this on the last series
Posted by: Haywood | October 12, 2008 at 03:26 PM
How come Hochuli overrules that but we got screwed on the spot in the 3rd quarter?
Posted by: foolio | October 12, 2008 at 03:26 PM
They have to punt here. Scary. Leave it up to the defense
Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:26 PM
qb sneak no guts no glory
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
miami doesnt have a chance on this one.. bad challenge... this is gonna come back to bite us
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
ok guys do we go for it or punt
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Line it up and run it when they inevitably say the replay was inconclusive...
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Sneak it. No punts!!
Posted by: Benz | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
keep running the end around with ricky, these 4th and iches are gonna haunt us.
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
It is not a first down, by the way. The guy had a foot on the 45 but the ball was at the 44.
You cannot score a TD, for example, by sliding in but having the ball at the 1 yard line. It is where the ball is.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
agreed bad challange
Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
BAD CHALLENGE. now we will only have one timeout left. shoulda just gone for it. hopefully they will move the ball up a little bit. maybe fourth and a foot
Posted by: finfan2009 | October 12, 2008 at 03:27 PM
official from the far side overruling official on the short side on the spot???
Posted by: bubbleRefuge | October 12, 2008 at 03:28 PM
there goes our second time out
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:28 PM
Tony S. may have been trying to buy time...would have to take a time out anyway.
Posted by: Benz | October 12, 2008 at 03:28 PM
bad call, bad punt...F@%$!!!!
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:29 PM
come on schaub win it for the phins throw another pick
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:29 PM
don't play conservative on D.
Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
why have we not gone for these short fourth downs!!! its gonna kill us. we better stop them
Posted by: finfan2009 | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
No-one can reasonably dispute it was a first down but the point is Hochuli didn't step in on an equally awful spot on the David Martin catch on 3rd and 9 that cost us...but he does on this one.
Hochuli screws it up again
Posted by: foolio | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
6 inches!!! SNEAK.
Posted by: Benz | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
We arent doing a very good job of managing this game
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
look like a rebuilding team today. the difference will be if we can hold on
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
punt ok d i know you are tired but crush their spirit
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
had to do it, field position is crucial, but the way we're playing, we're asking to lose this game. big sack needed here by porter
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:30 PM
We are in the game in the 4th Qtr, much better than last year
Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Hochuli is apparently in the beginning stages of dimentia!!! Used to like the guy...
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:31 PM
whovere has the ball last will kick the game winning FG
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Good point steve...
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:32 PM
thought we had our 3rd pick there
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:32 PM
dang so close to the int
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:32 PM
our secondary sucks
Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
This drive has the feel of a win-lose proposition, doesn't it?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
where is the D
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Just no pressure at all.
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Too many big plays given up by our D...i feel sick.
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
The D looks spent.
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
there is the cut back again. killing us.
Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
figures no flag for holding guess the texans paid more than miami
Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Defense looks tired for some reason.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 12, 2008 at 03:33 PM
well took 3 plays to get past the spot we woulda converted our 4th down at
Posted by: Chase | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM
this sucks
Posted by: dmac72 | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM
the d is playing on fumes because the offense cant get a first down
Posted by: sonnycrockkett | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM
right down the field without any resistance...how huge is our un-special teams play now???
Posted by: krueg | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Need a turnover
Posted by: Master | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM
THE FAT LADY IS WARMING UP, FOR THE TEXANS.....an 0-4 TEAM and you can't even stop them........
Posted by: creep | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM

Posted by: Steve | October 12, 2008 at 03:34 PM

Posted by: glossmin | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM

Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM
Big 3rd down
Posted by: Joel | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM
We should have gone for it on 4th Down!!!
Posted by: Julian | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM
Sparano's first bad move in 3 weeks...should have gone for it on 4th. Now we have to come from behind anyways.
Posted by: Benz | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM

Posted by: phil | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM

Posted by: Joekerman | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM

Posted by: spiewak | October 12, 2008 at 03:35 PM
