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.

bad call! this play got sniffed out last time.

So Ndukwe will cost the Dolphins at least 4 points, the difference between a TD and a FG.

This dolpin team is crap. I'm going to take a nap. That would be more exciting than this game.

our penalties kill us so much more than they do our opponents.

Damn... Bess almost had that one, needs more patience

Terrible clock management.
Why did they rush that TD play?

Very true Mandy, but he might have saved Penny from being destroyed...

Tasker was a gunner for the Bills, he's been hit in the head ALOT.

They have a ball thrown into the end zone that should have been a TD and then they run a bubble screen. Unreal.

Dolphins go 57 yard on 10 plays. We lead!! Yippie, very exciting.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 30, 2008 at 02:27 PM
I am so frustrated. So damn frustrated.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 30, 2008 at 02:28 PM
should have tried a fade to Wilford. Give the guy a chance to make a play. that screen was a safe play that causes you to lose games like this.

After watching teams run all over the fins this season it has become more and more apparent that the Fins will need to seriously look at upgrading their NT and ILB possitions.

how come this bunch of idiots can not stop anything on third and long ?
Posted by: Rauplan | November 30, 2008 at 03:06 PM
They replay to an interception with a fumble....
Loosers...
Posted by: Rauplan | November 30, 2008 at 03:14 PM
Here we go starting the 4th quarter...fins are pitiful...couldn't stop Jackson if they were allowed 22 men on defense. Fins will lose this game to a joke of a Rams team. Put a knife in them, their thru for today.
