The Dolphins have some work to do in the second half as they have not really been able to contain the New England passing game today.
Matt Cassel has completed 18 of 25 passes for 205 yards and while Miami made him pay with an interception that set up a TD, it is not enough now. The Dolphins trail 17-14 at the start of the third quarter.
Ronnie Brown is not equalling the day he had against New England earlier this year. he has six rushes for 23 yards. He had 113 yards on 17 carries in the first game. The Dolphins have only two rushing first downs, three fewer than New England. And the Patriots aren't even trying to run the ball today.
So, like I said, there is much work to do in the second half.
Join me in the comments section for the live blog to see if the work gets done.
I guess it doesnt really matter what my point is, cause if jake long is out for the game. we are done for

Long is gingerly walking off the field under his own superpower.

Tell me thats cramps Mando?
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:17 PM
Does anybody else not notice that there is no more zip on the ball. Chad cannot win a shoot out. Noodle arm is a game manager.

Ndukwe has moved to LT. Alleman is at RG now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:18 PM
High ankel- damn.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:18 PM
dolphanforlife, I'll take that game manager over several prior occupants of the QB job ---
Posted by: KG | November 23, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Did Carey slide over?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:18 PM
.armando i know but he isn,t the only one playing defense did you see the pass rush on that series?

Posted by: damn | November 23, 2008 at 03:19 PM
Sheer will, love the heart.

Camarillo puts entire Pats defense on his back and carries them for a first down.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:19 PM
EK @ left tackle? Holy sh*t.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:19 PM
Camrillo working for that money!!!!aawesome
Posted by: farrington07 | November 23, 2008 at 03:19 PM
Should at least attempt a run.
Posted by: Joel | November 23, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Greg Camarillo is a man! he is not going down! he will not be denied!
1st down~!
Posted by: ed | November 23, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Costly penalty.
Posted by: Joel | November 23, 2008 at 03:21 PM
Pennington is going to get his recievers killed. No zip on the ball whatsoever
Posted by: dolphanforlife | November 23, 2008 at 03:21 PM
We need to get out of the Wildcat offense. It is silly and we have beat it to DEATH!
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:21 PM
That is a penalty!!!!!!!!!! Screw Dierdorf.
Get back into field goal range.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:22 PM
Wow, Long coming out killed our drive.
Posted by: Joel | November 23, 2008 at 03:22 PM
The Jake Long penalty is an ankle. They are re-taping.
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:23 PM
We got to score on defense.
Greatness certainly comes with great things.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:23 PM
This is trouble now. NE can go up by more than one score. If that happens, it's lights out.

Posted by: farrington07 | November 23, 2008 at 03:23 PM

Posted by: nyfinfan | November 23, 2008 at 03:23 PM

Posted by: ziggy | November 23, 2008 at 03:23 PM
Finally time for the D to shine and hold
Posted by: matt, st. louis | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Faulk is going to put the ball on the ground. He is due.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Our D has shown us nothing today. I have absolutely no faith in this defensive unit.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
turnover time?
Posted by: ziggy | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
WE CANNOT give up a TD this drive
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
You can see the difference to not having Long in there.....all of a sudden we get stopped dead
Posted by: wow | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
That's the game.
Posted by: Joel | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
CLEAR HOLDING
Posted by: dolphanforlife | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM

Posted by: ziggy | November 23, 2008 at 03:24 PM
OMG!!!
Posted by: farrington07 | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
Dolphins looking to see if Welker stepped out.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
No faith whatsoever. This defense is sorry.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
He stepped out of bounds
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM

Posted by: farrington07 | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
He stepped out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn it!
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
Not lights out but Satele really put us away from the ite. Turnover please.
Posted by: The Boz in Oz | November 23, 2008 at 03:25 PM
hey armando maybe that 64yd to welker was also j.allens fault
Posted by: paul | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
I could swear i saw him touch white
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
How is that not a hold on Goodman by the Pats' Aiken??? Also looked like Welker may have stepped out, but we'll never know b/c they don't show the replay.
Posted by: MD Fin fan | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
Ballgame. This one's on the defense.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
Game over
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
Gotta keep it to a FG here
Posted by: damn | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM

Posted by: farrington07 | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM

Posted by: nyfinfan | November 23, 2008 at 03:26 PM
He stepped out!!! No replay! No replay.
Go get them. Greatness today.
The Pats will officially choke this game today.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Farrington, now we figure out who we need to cut in the off season on the defense.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:27 PM
THE DREAM IS OVER, it's time to wake up and get ready for next season.......
Posted by: J.Lennon | November 23, 2008 at 03:27 PM
This game is not over. We are going to win a shoot out.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:27 PM
also armando maybe that td run was j.allens fault. i told you its the whole defense is terrible
Posted by: paul | November 23, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Is this how our season ends?? The refs are terrible I see a hold almost every play by the Pats
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:28 PM
Out Coached and Out played.
