Chiefs leading Dolphins 28-24 to start 3rd Q

Well, the good news is the Dolphins defense is alive and well. The team that averaged slightly less than 16 points per game the last three games has 24 points at the half.

Problem is the defense didn't show for the first half. The Chiefs have scored 28 points on the Miami defense -- yeah, the defense that did not allow a TD in 12 consecutive quarters. The Chiefs threw an interception on their offensive first possession.

And then they scored four touchdowns their next four possessions. Terrible effort. Terrible tackling. Terrible coverage.

Chad Pennington is 15 of 22 for 135 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Joe Montana, I mean Tyler Thigpen is 12 of 23 for 223 yards, two passing touchdowns and one running touchdown.

OK, join me for the second half continuation of the live blog in the comments section.

this drive is used up 6:00 of clock and added points. Terrible

[drsamii]

finally, a stop. 7 point game guys, we are still in this. Come on Dolphins

[Dave]

A tiny victory we only gave up 3 NOW CAN WE SCORE A TOUCHDOWN

[Armando Salguero]

One thing to keep in perspective is Miami is down only one TD. It is not over by any measure.

[azfin]

start thinking draft folks.

1RD ILB
2RD CB
2RD S
3RD WR
4RD T
5RD DT
7RD

[Pat]

well, it was a good season thus far.

And the Pats are cheating. It's the only explanation.

[mntnmanfinfan]

I officially surrender hope. Its takes alot for me to say that. I give up, give in and no longer give a ....

[nyfinfan]

ok someone call the police negotiation team, seems that "Not Fooled" is about to jump off a ledge.

[Dol-Fan UK]

only 1 td down? we were 10 points up at one stage

Man I'm p!$$ed!! The Defense must step up. I feel the league is rigged sometimes, how many no names look like studs against MIA?

In the 4th quarter we will be against the wind. They have struggled against the wind and FG's are out of the question

[David]

maybe by the fourth we will be able to stop them.

[Dave]

WHO'S THE BEST ILB IN THE DRAFT THAT MAY BE THERE

[NOT FOOLED]

I HOPE IN MY NEXT LIFE I AM BORN A PATRIOT FAN.....

HOLY SMOKES WHAT A LIVING HELL FOR ALL THESE FIN FANS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THIS TEAM FOR THE PAST 38 YEARS.......

[drsamii]

whew a break

[AJ in ATL]

(I'm proud that we won 9 games....lets start there)

We look like $@#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the #$%^ing D!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Marc]

Kurt Warner is gonna get Boldin killed trying to come back...Pats are playing like they should have in the SB last year...Hitting hard and showing no mercy...God, I hate those bastards

[nyfinfan]

ah Mando, ever the optimist!! I agree with, it's only a TD but when KC doesn't punt for almost 3 quarters, well you know where this is going. I have a sinking feeling those 3 points we passed on are gonna haunt us, i hope i'm wrong!

[Jon]

Ronnie Brown = 11 yards rushing

[Marc]

Wow, AZ, an ILB in the first? I'm really glad that NONE of you guys are coaches OR GMs!

Pats will win division. Book it. Phins losing today and Jets will lose today at Seattle. They will be a dangerous playoff team.

[its half empty]

Are all you dolphin fans dispointed ?...now you know how marcs gay lover feels.

wildcrap

[Armando Salguero]

The only way the Dolphins win today is by being able to pound the ball and it works. That way, they move the ball but also keep the ball away from KC's offense.

[Earl]

YA, WILDCAT!!! 0 FU$%ING YARDS

great offensive series. We need to move it with the wind and we run to shots up the middle.

[AJ in ATL]

What a great time to establish the run! F*&^ this game!

[Dave]

the FINS have turned it around and 9 wins is great but when you have a chace at the playoffs play like you want it...

Take care of today and worry about tomorrow tomorrow

[mntnmanfinfan]

The coaches are not stepping up. 3rd and ten after two plays up the middle for no gain. Are we trying to lull KC into a false sense of security?

[Armando Salguero]

How about Davone Bess -- from Univ. of Hawaii -- going with no sleeves?

[Dave]

a pass to Bess was he a find or is it to early to tell

[Hayden Fox]

Leave it in Pennington's hands.

[Jon]

offensive hasn't been our problem

[Joel]

Nice wrinkle to the wildcat.

[Armando Salguero]

AWESOME block by Samson Satele on that reverse.

[drsamii]

NICE PLAY

[Hayden Fox]

No holding call on EK?

[tfk]

TD Williams!

TFK

41 To 0 New Eng.

[mntnmanfinfan]

Chad comes through once again. The guy is money, even with a noddle for an arm. Thats how leaders lead -- make a play.

[nyfinfan]

Thank Goodness for Patrick F'n Cobbs!!!!

[AJ in ATL]

Finally!

[Armando Salguero]

Tie ballgame boys ... and girls!!!! Assuming the PAT

[EARL]

Crazy Fu$%ing game

[Dol-Fan UK]

Dear Santa, this year scrap my list and just give the fins a defence.

[Armando Salguero]

Never underestimate how terrible a 30th ranked pass defense and 30th ranked run defense can be for KC.

[Hayden Fox]

Ummm. If we could play some defense...

[azfin]

hey marc do you think the BP is planning on bringing crowder back long term? we need a playmaking ILB we don't have one on the roster. If one is not available expect a CB/S to be the pick.

[John]

Seriously, if we win this game, I think Pennington shoots to the top 5 on a lot of the talking heads' MVP lists.

[Account Deleted]

NOT FOOLED ARE YOA A F***ING IDIOT? 38 Years?

[Earl]

LET'S GO DEFENSE!!! THERE'S STILL TIME TO REDEEM YOURSELVES!!!

[mntnmanfinfan]

Hope springs eternal. final -- Fins 108 KC 107

[Dave]

we have good full backs USE THEM...

let's go boys, help me chant for a TURNOVER!

[Jon]

haha, Dol-Fan UK I'll return my big screen and blu-ray for a Fins defense as well!

[George]

could we PLLLLEEASE not blitz and drop six??

[David]

if you told me we would score 31 i would have been thinking blowout. The O gives the D another chance to show up.

[Marc]

Man, we might not be able to line up and play ball straight up, but, we sure are creative!

[nyfinfan]

Hey Mando, what was the deal with releasing Casey Cramer?

[sjs]

I turned off all football, nfl.com, and this page until just now after they passed up that FG and went for it on 4th down. Yeah, good thing we're tied instead of winning right now. Can you tell I'm still fuming?
