Miami Dolphins up on N.E. 7-3 after 1st

The Dolphins were backpedaling at the start of today's game as New England came out passing and took a 3-0 lead.

But an interception by Renaldo Hill set the Dolphins up in good field position and they converted with a TD pass from Chad Pennington to Greg Camarillo.

So the Dolphins are leading, but the Patriots were driving again near the end of the first quarter.

Told you I didn't like the Moss vs. jason Allen matchup.

[Joel]

That drive was too easy.

[nice]

Oregon Fin Fan do a search on Justin TV for Med954

[Senior Molmend]

Game's over--it was fun while it lasted.

[Oregon Fin Fan]

thanks for the tip

[The Boz in Oz]

What has happened to our defense. The secondary needs that depth, play call questionable.

[The New Kid]

The defense is terrible today. Two turnovers is all that's saving the game from being a total embarrassment. They need to step up their level of play in the 2nd half. Miami isn't going to win a shootout.

[Armando Salguero]

Patriots have won 38 consecutive games in which they are leading at halftime.

[BEEF SUPREME]

BEEF SEZ, YOU GUYS R RIGHT BOUT DIERDORF I THIN HE HAS A HOMOSEXUAL INTREST IN CASSEL.

[tjh]

another gut check. 2 minutes to go. Field goal and we're still in it. I think we get the ball first in the second half?

[dolphanforlife]

We are asking too much from our offense

[Joel]

He should've broken that outside!!

[paul]

hey armando what about the nice tackle by hill

[nyfinfan]

You have to give him help with a safety or bracket him and hope gaffeney can be tackled in the middle of the field. Jerkdorf and Gumble calling cassell aka brady

[yuck again]

Honestly, this commentary team's man-love for the Pats is totally sickening.

[tjh]

Dierdorf is a turd, btw. Glad I'm just watching the game on a sports ticker

[Hayden Fox]

This is the day all of those streaks of the Pats come to an end...

[Tony T Bone]

38 games.About time for that to end today!

[sjs]

"Patriots have won 38 consecutive games in which they are leading at halftime."
You must mean regular season, they lost the Super Bowl.

[BEEF SUPREME]

Beef Sez:NOT THAT THERES ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

[The Boz in Oz]

Who thought at the start of todays game that our secondary, including Jason Allen, Goodman and weak nickel backs could stop the better passing attacks in the NFL ? I didn't, but couldn't see such a nose dive in performance coming

[Beerphin]

Cassel threw 24 times already. They have no run game at all or just think our secondary is weak... I hope they keep throwing i see Another INT before its over

[Livefrom305]

Metamorphasis, right before your eyes, back into our old ways....

Even if we don't win another game, its been a heck of a turnaround!

[Joel]

Let's see a deep ball to Ginn.

lower your head and get some extra yards Bess!!!!

[Andrew H]

Bess was DUMB to go out of bounds; needed to tick off the clock; GRR

24-14 coming up!!!!

[Armando Salguero]

Pennington went to the weel once too often.

[pathetic]

Come on Dierdorf.........you can find it within yourself to say something about Jake Long beyond the fact he works hard and is a nice guy. Oh no, you can't

[Armando Salguero]

Field is kicking the crap out of the ball today.

[The New Kid]

Hopefully that 3-and-out isn't too costly.

[dolphanforlife]

higlight of the game is a punt?

[Armando Salguero]

Back to the Bess thing, isn't he supposed to be the third option? The Dolphins haven't thrown to Ginn once today.

[beerphin]

Great punt! We need the ball back before the half!

[dierdorf at it again]

"I'm not sure there's anyone in the league I like watching return punts more than Wes Welker".

just horrifying

[Tony T Bone]

Quit bitching about Dierdorf and turn the sound off.Why listen to an idiot?

[Andrew H]

I think i'd let time tick off the clock. Don't let them get a score. Just take the 3pt defecit Tony

[The Boz in Oz]

Turnover please !!

[Hayden Fox]

NO WORRIES. GO ATTACK NEW ENGLAND ALL OVER THE FIELD. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL AND KILL THE CLOCK. THEREFORE, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO THROW. THAT CAN LEEEEAD TO TURNOVERS! KEEP BELIEVING GUYS!

[Beerphin]

Totally agree we need to involve Ginn Jr. Our playmaker in our receiving corp

[actually]

crowder has really played pretty well today

[tjh]

I think "attack". Don't settle for anything today.

They hold every damn play

[BEEF SUPREME]

Beef Sez:OVER 200 YDS PASS BY DIERDORF LOVE INTREST, NOT GOOD. I THINK DIERDORFF WILL EXCUSE HIMSELF AT HALF TIME TO RELEASE HIS LOVE FOR CASSEL IF YOU KNOW WHAT IAM TALKING BOUT.

[Joel]

Ginn needs to be back there.

[copyright dan dierdorf]

Poor Dan Koppen......bad elbow......nasty refs calling a penalty for holding

[Hayden Fox]

Coach P cost us a chance at 3 with not having the right personell on the field earlier.

[Armando Salguero]

Ginn was open downfield. Amazing. If Pennington holds the more one more millisecond and sees him it is a TD.

[sjs]

3rd down should be bomb to Ginn, worst case is like a punt

[unbelievable]

What I really hate about Dan Dierdorf is: whenever it's a Pat, it's his own opinion. Welker his favourite returner etc.

But when it's a Fin, it's what Sparano or Parcells thinks. It's that Parcells thinks Long is special, and that Sparano couldn't be happier with Porter's effect.

Dierdorf makes me sick

[Andrew H]

Did they steal a second off our game clock?
