The Dolphins have shown no life early in today's game against the St. Louis Rams.
They have declined to run the ball although the Rams are among the worst run defenses in the NFL. When Miami has run, it has worked -- six rushes, 50 yards.
The Rams, meanwhile, look like the more engaged team. They have scored on both offensive possessions of the first quarter hence the two field goals.

Can they create a turnover, please...
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Vonnie Holliday did a great job of falling over and doing nothing on that 3rd and 1

Colts and Bills losing, we need this W today

D line is getting handled.
Posted by: mike d | November 30, 2008 at 02:06 PM
I cannot stand the lack of pass rush, lack of hands getting on ball carriers and overall lack of turnovers.
When we get turnovers we win...when we don't we lose.

Joey Porter needs to get outside and contain on that run. Terrible. 7 yards for Jackson.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:08 PM
How does this brutal offensive line not have ONE penalty yet?
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:08 PM
On that note Hayden....You think Joey will EVER get a holding call from the refs after bashing them?
Posted by: Marc | November 30, 2008 at 02:08 PM
67 yards rushing in the first half!!! an injured Jackson could have 150 on us today and the Rams could have 200+
Posted by: | November 30, 2008 at 02:08 PM
The rams are shoving the ball, not a turkey, up Miami's ...
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:09 PM
Sparano should learn how to milk the clock like the Rams are doing. He is TERRIBLE at the end of a half at managing the game.
Posted by: Andrew H | November 30, 2008 at 02:09 PM
D LINE looks tired
Posted by: mike d | November 30, 2008 at 02:09 PM
Are we sure it's the Rams who have the worst running D on the field today?
Posted by: kenviro | November 30, 2008 at 02:09 PM
After the last week and the constant complaints about Porter and Crowder seems to have gotten into their heads and they are nowhere to be found.
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 30, 2008 at 02:10 PM
Is this online anywhere...not being televised here.
Posted by: JC | November 30, 2008 at 02:10 PM
No, Marc...but that oline is AWFUL.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:10 PM
Is Joey in the game?
Posted by: Dolfan abroad | November 30, 2008 at 02:10 PM
Not acceptable.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:11 PM
Torry Holt has been open a lot today, actually.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:11 PM
no inside pass rush.
Posted by: mike d | November 30, 2008 at 02:11 PM
Jimmy Cefalo is terrible on the radio.
Posted by: Eric | November 30, 2008 at 02:12 PM
The Rams are keeping time of this drive by calendar instead of clock.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:12 PM
Where is the Defense at, I dont call giving up 4-8 yrds a play good D...
Posted by: mR742 | November 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
Brett Romberg is awful and should not be in the league. Alex Barron is a lazy slob.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
Oh, and Rams cheerleaders ... weak.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
damn we need a stop right now
Posted by: Nick | November 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
i agree Cefalo is brutal to listen to. Rams have a 12 play drive going.
Posted by: mike d | November 30, 2008 at 02:14 PM
Oh, and Rams cheerleaders ... weak.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:13 PM
glad to know that
Posted by: mR742 | November 30, 2008 at 02:14 PM
Must be one massive turkey er uh ball there Mando. In the beginning of the year no one would have complained about a game like this. However, this feels like one of those "growing pangs."
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
nice pressure from peazy
Posted by: | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
Below average defense exposed for what is: BELOW AVERAGE. Weak pass rush. Can't stop Jackson.
Posted by: Chris | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
Umm, question still stands...Why is Joey Thomas in the #1 CB spot?
Posted by: Marc | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
we better manage this 2 min drill and get some points.
Posted by: David | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
With this refing crew after every play I think a flag is going to go down.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:15 PM
So the Dolphins score and the defense gives up a 14 play drive to give back the lead. Terrible.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:16 PM
agreed Hayden
We have not gotten any love from the refs all year
Posted by: mR742 | November 30, 2008 at 02:17 PM
I feel like TG will break one today
Posted by: mR742 | November 30, 2008 at 02:17 PM
Ted Ginn is going to enjoy a 24 year career because he never gets hit.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:17 PM
lol
Posted by: mR742 | November 30, 2008 at 02:18 PM
Go Chad!
Posted by: Nick | November 30, 2008 at 02:18 PM
John Beck looking good taking notes on the sidelines.
Posted by: Joel | November 30, 2008 at 02:19 PM
24 yr career!! and he still won't come near Rice's records!
Posted by: | November 30, 2008 at 02:19 PM
Wilford gets absolutely zero separation.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:19 PM
a wilford sighting!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 30, 2008 at 02:19 PM
a Wilford sighting... and he had a hand on him, give me a flag!
Posted by: Nick | November 30, 2008 at 02:19 PM
THATS HOW YOU CATCH!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 30, 2008 at 02:20 PM
He pushed off as well...
Posted by: Marc | November 30, 2008 at 02:20 PM
We've been using three WR's alot more than I thought.
Posted by: Joel | November 30, 2008 at 02:20 PM
man the announcers are BLIND and dumb.
Posted by: Andrew H | November 30, 2008 at 02:21 PM
Am I the only one that thinks this coaching staff STILL isn't sold on Brown?
Posted by: Marc | November 30, 2008 at 02:21 PM
Holding on Ndukwe. NO TD.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:22 PM
This bullsh$#Q#
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:22 PM
Mando, about that Turkey!! Got one for the refs? the last two weeks we've been hosed!!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 30, 2008 at 02:23 PM
We should try Ndukwe on the D-line.
Posted by: Joel | November 30, 2008 at 02:23 PM
Where is the ball? What is the down and distance? Never updates from this crew. I want to watch the game and understand what the heck is happening.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Did I miss it? You guys are excited Wilford was sighted? How about a catch?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Good one Joel...Was a pretty good tackle
Posted by: Marc | November 30, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Bess drops a TD.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:24 PM
throw it up to wilford! might as well try it.
