The third quarter was not a friend to the Miami Dolphins.
They yielded 14 points as Randy Moss abused Jason Allen. They didn't have a whole lot of cohesion on offense although they did get one TD. And they lost offensive tackle Jake Long to an ankle injury for parts of the quarter.
Long is questionable but he looks like he wants to come back and at least try out the injury on the field.
This is a tough situation for the Dolphins. Join me in the comments section of the blog and we'll see what happens.







Ginn return for a TD

Amazing how ONE penalty changes the WHOLE game.
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Spread it out and attack. Whom cares?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Give it to Ginn the rest of the game
Posted by: Beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:32 PM
No touchdown here = game over. No Jake Long... I don't think it's going to happen.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:32 PM
He has that look in his eyes
Posted by: beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:32 PM
we never even tried to use ronnie today. 9 touches 35 yards, pathetic

Bess does a Wes Welker impersonation.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Bess Player of the Game if we win?
Posted by: Beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
nice wheel route
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
11 TDs for Pennington
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Great, great diving catch by Williams for the TD.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Rickyyyyyyyy
Posted by: Tony T Bone | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
Looks like we still have some gas in the tank
Posted by: tjh | November 23, 2008 at 03:33 PM
f*ck yes ricky!
atta boy!
Posted by: ed | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Plenty of time now for their O to wear out our D. Need to get a turnover now to win most likely.
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Go get the ball back...
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
OK.... now we see what the D is really made of.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
What a catch!!! best of the year maybe
Posted by: Beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
The problem here is the Miami defense will come back out on the field now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Beef Sez:GAME NOT OVER YET.
Posted by: BEEF SUPREME | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
indeed -- would prefer to be up by 3 than down, but there's still time. C'mon D, show up!
Posted by: KG | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Go get the ball back!!!
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Maybe I was wrong. We have a Chad in Florida and it was an election year.
Posted by: ziggy | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Okay, okay, making this a game - time for D and D coordinator to step up.
Posted by: sjs | November 23, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Talk about a not giving up attitude, Sparano deserves a lot of credit for this.
Posted by: Pat | November 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
No way Mando....we are getting a turnover Mando. New England cannot take the air out of the clock. We are winning this game.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
defence now is the time to prove yourselves, step up with a big play right here!!!
Posted by: matt | November 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
So clutch right now. we need the D to step it up now BIG!
Posted by: Beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
I hope the crowd has figured out that it's time to go nuts? Game's not on my TV
Posted by: tjh | November 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
Beef Sez:MANDO!
Posted by: BEEF SUPREME | November 23, 2008 at 03:36 PM
Come on D!!!! Make a Stand now!!
Posted by: Joel | November 23, 2008 at 03:36 PM
ST playing good today atleast
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:36 PM
a couple of starters on ST and look at how they can actually tackle.
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:36 PM
TV Timeout probably killing us here; giving time for NE to regroup and wait out the momentum
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
I have absolutely no faith in this defense.
Posted by: PhilDolphan | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Step up!!!
Step up!!!
Step up!!!
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Waiting with baited breath for another doozy post by Phil
Posted by: BigLexLuthor | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
armando whats a matter couldn't respond to my comments about how it was j.allens fault on the welker64yd rec or the td run .but not the overall defense's fault
Posted by: paul | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
well, if this years been nothing else, its been dramatic!
Posted by: hurriphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Beef Sez:MANDO NO SOUP FOR YOU.
Posted by: BEEF SUPREME | November 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
This is where Miami has won most of their games in the past few weeks. They should be use to this.
Posted by: The Bra1n | November 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
Mr. Porter, it's your turn.
Posted by: tjh | November 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
ERIC WALDEN is huge on ST
Posted by: beerphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
Screw that...time for us to figure how to score on defense.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:38 PM
?
Posted by: BEEF SUPREME | November 23, 2008 at 03:39 PM
a heavy dose of joey porter would be nice here!
Posted by: hurriphin | November 23, 2008 at 03:39 PM
Play all day...not 12 minutes...All day! All day!
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:40 PM
They are gonna be very annoying and try to milk clock and get 12 yards every 2 or 3 plays.
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:40 PM
WHY CAN'T THE DEFENSE STOP ANYBODY?
Posted by: Wanny | November 23, 2008 at 03:40 PM
Beef Sez: Curse U Mando
Posted by: BEEF SUPREME | November 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM
Why is it a big deal that Cassell throws for 400 yards...he throws it every down.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM
look for a big bomb here
Posted by: matt | November 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM
Cassel Loses again after passing for 400 today
Posted by: | November 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM
Bellicheat knows how to milk clocks and manage games. I'd play on the tigher side to get stops
Posted by: Andrew H | November 23, 2008 at 03:41 PM
Cannot believe Cassell got away from Will Allen on that blitz. Wow.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 23, 2008 at 03:42 PM
come on D where are the sacks, fumbles, ints anything step it up!
Posted by: matt | November 23, 2008 at 03:42 PM
You have to make that sack
Posted by: bernski | November 23, 2008 at 03:42 PM
Let's blitz J. Allen instead of Will.
