The Dolphins don't have a reputation for having a big-play offense, but Ted Ginn Jr. certainly can be a big-play guy.
He proved that in the first quarter when he took an end-around handoff and scampered 40-yards for a touchdown to give the Dolphins a 7-0 lead today.
Chad Pennington, probable for the game with a sore foot, seems to be just fine. He even scrambled for a first down on Miami's touchdown drive.

The longer we keep them in the game...the worse off it will be for us!!! it just gives them more confidence.

I cannot stand the Raiders.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:53 PM
Hmm, we're letting them hang around even as bad as they are playing.
Posted by: Joel | November 16, 2008 at 01:53 PM
Great punt by Fields. 48 yards and took forever to come down. I think they call that good hang time.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:54 PM
need points!
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 01:54 PM
What does that tell you about us Joel?
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:54 PM
Yeah! We tackled!
Either we are getting better on ST or Oakland's ST are worse than I thought! :P
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:55 PM
on that first and five. pennington had to know they were thinking the run so they brought the house.. he shoulda gotten rid of it faster
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:55 PM
Nice play by Roth!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:56 PM
Play coverage and bring the pressue up the middle.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:56 PM
between the canes and the phins the last few weeks, i'm losing my hair! we've gotta start stepping on guys necks early!! I can't take it!
Posted by: hurriphin | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Has anyone noticed that Roth has not been used as a rusher as much lately?
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
You KNOW that Oakland will score on this drive... we deserve it.
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Cmon...that was not PI
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
what that was not pass interference!! damn hockuli and co!
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
hurriphin...where are you streaming the game?
Posted by: John | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
I knew it
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Jason Allen with interference. Looked like a bad call. he was nowhere near the guy.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
The defense has the same right to the ball as the offense!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
thats bs
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
Terrible, terrible call.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
again we are keeping them in the worse team in the game
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
Hochuli is simply trying to keep them in it.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
i fing hate hochuli he sux
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:58 PM
BS, he was tracking the ball too!
Posted by: | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
That was a questionable call at best...
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
refs keeping them in it now. come on porter time for a sack
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
now you know why he is the WORST ref in the league!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
That is BS!
Posted by: | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
they called it on allen, but it was meant for yeremiah bell... bad
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
Sorry Chase someone asked actually.
I don't like them but they are good.
Posted by: Ken | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
Chase, we are not keeping them in the game on defense...the refs are!
Offensively, we need to continue to play strong!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:59 PM
That is awful. Just because a team sucks does not mean the refs need officiate to their level. Unreal.
BTW, when will Miami's defense take the ball away?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
One of the intangibles in football. The refs can sense who has their heart in the game. They properly erred on the side of the team trying harder.
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
does anyone have a stream besideds med954? it's hard to see
Posted by: john | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
I'm losing excitment by the minute...I'm also disappointed I didn't try for that 20,000th post...Luis' blog was pretty awful
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
i'm not John
Posted by: hurriphin | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
The Fins need to elevate their game. Lackluster crap is not cutting. Not for next week and beyond, but NOW. Step it up.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:00 PM
How can one ref have so many bad calls?
Posted by: | November 16, 2008 at 02:01 PM
Did I call this or what?
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 02:01 PM
Brown's fumble, penalties on special teams and that PI has Oakland in the game. Unreal. Just shows you are never out of a NFL game.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:02 PM
George, that was a stupid comment.
Posted by: Chris | November 16, 2008 at 02:02 PM
seems like Vonnie and W. Allen are the only D who came to play today
Posted by: | November 16, 2008 at 02:02 PM
Number 7, errr 97, errr87, errrr77. He sucks.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:02 PM
George, have a little faith, will ya!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 02:02 PM
Good contain from Roth
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
And Hoculi did not make the call.
Posted by: Chris | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
That was going to be a pass by McFadden.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Miami 7-3
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
he spiked it. wheres the penalty
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Cannot spike that ball like that. Delay off game!!!!!!!! BS!!!!
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
I don't know about stupid, Chris. I made a prediction, as much as I hate that it would come true, but it's happened.
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
McFadden spiked the ball, where is the delay of GAME!!!!!!!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
lets get a turnover if they even dare trying to put the ball into the endzone
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Crap officiating again. Honestly, they are playing to the level of the Raiders.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Is Roth a free agent after this season? I think he's earned an extension or resigning.
Posted by: Joel | November 16, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Roth is being credited with a sack of Mcfadden.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 02:04 PM
In all fairness had we made a big play and spiked it and got flagged you'd be complaining about the "no fun" league...
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 02:04 PM
does anyone have a stream?
Posted by: dave | November 16, 2008 at 02:04 PM
