Why are you folks sweating today's game against Kansas City? Don't you know it's 8 degrees out there?
Seriously, don't you know the Chiefs have lost 21 of their last 23 games, meaning they find a way to screw things up no matter how hard they try and how hard they work?
Don't you know the Chiefs are about to bring a close on coach Herman Edwards' days in KC? This ESPN report details how KC ownership is in the early stages of a general manager search and already a guy Edwards would love to have hired is out of the running. That means Edwards' chances of keeping his job, with one year remaining on his contract, are not excellent.
And that means the Dolphins, who have already played four teams -- Oakland, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle -- whose teams have changed coaches or are about to change coaches, can add a fifth team to that list today.
[Major side note prediction: The Jets are at Seattle today in what is Mike Holmgren's final home game. He will be coaching against his old QB Brett Favre. I am predicting the Jets, who spent four hours on the runway Friday waiting for a storm to pass before heading on their five-hour flight to the Northwest, are going to LOSE to the 'Hawks today.]
Anyway, today's game is at 1 p.m. eastern. I will inform you quick as I can whether Channing Crowder is playing (it doesn't look good) or not. [Update: Crowder is inactive so he's out.]
The LIVE BLOG begins at kickoff in the comments section. Isn't this what you've waited all week for?
we suck on 3rd down

Thanks.

They should drop all in coverage at this point.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:41 PM
detroit already down 14-0... Looks like 0 and 16 is coming.
Posted by: azfin | December 21, 2008 at 01:41 PM
If they are going to toss it around so much, drop everyone in coverage.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM
It's like the phins are content to give them first downs.
Posted by: Joel | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM

Posted by: djrob | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM

Posted by: | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM
Short passes killing us -- Crowders replacement is..?
Posted by: mntnmanfinfan | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM
we are giving this scrub QB too much time back there.
Posted by: azfin | December 21, 2008 at 01:42 PM

Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:43 PM
DFENCE LOOKS LIKE THEY R GETTING BEAT BAD
Posted by: Dave | December 21, 2008 at 01:44 PM
The cardiac kids are at it again. I would hope that we would get on a team like this and put our foot in their throat. Guess not. Comes down to the last few plays, again??
Posted by: mntnmanfinfan | December 21, 2008 at 01:45 PM
They aren't afraid to throw deep on us so far.
Posted by: Joel | December 21, 2008 at 01:45 PM
Great coverage by Allen.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 21, 2008 at 01:45 PM
4 down territory for KC.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:45 PM
This is ridiculous
Posted by: dolphanforlife | December 21, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Great play call by Chan Gaily.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:46 PM
This looks like last week's game, other team kills us in TOP.
Posted by: Joel | December 21, 2008 at 01:46 PM

Posted by: its empty.com | December 21, 2008 at 01:46 PM

Posted by: Joel | December 21, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Have the entire defence been de-activated today
Posted by: Dol-Fan UK | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM

Posted by: | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
No playoffs this year. The bums are back. I hate this friggin team
Posted by: dolphanforlife | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
That shows us the problem with teams that have nothing to lose. Go for it on fourth down when it usually would not happen.
Posted by: mntnmanfinfan | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
we knew the pass was coming on 4th down and they still converted... what a joke.
Posted by: azfin | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
No killer instinct. NONE.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
OUR SECONDARY CAN'T HANDLE THE TALL WR.
HOW ABOUT BLITZING
Posted by: Dave | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
I wish KC would score so I don't have to watch this embarrasement of a Defense anymore.
Posted by: dolphanforlife | December 21, 2008 at 01:47 PM
Getting our arses kicked. Pats kicking arse. THIS IS BAD!
Posted by: | December 21, 2008 at 01:48 PM
that's bad, I know. Don't lose hope.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 21, 2008 at 01:48 PM
14 play drive so far. Ouch.
Posted by: mntnmanfinfan | December 21, 2008 at 01:48 PM
NE killing Arizona
Posted by: Marc | December 21, 2008 at 01:48 PM
we're burnt out
Posted by: Dol-Fan Uk | December 21, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Defense doesn't look like they want to hit today. Very soft.
Posted by: Chris S. | December 21, 2008 at 01:49 PM

Posted by: Brian | December 21, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Bell locked up with Gonzalez on that play, Hayden.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 21, 2008 at 01:50 PM
no problem...they will pick up this 3rd down.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | December 21, 2008 at 01:50 PM
They gottta start blitzing him, this team is dangerous right now. They are throwing deep, going for it on 4th downs.
We gotta start playing with more desperation.
Two weeks in a row where we can't get off the field. Sooner or later it's going to come back and bite us
Posted by: PHINS!! | December 21, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Good to see all the normal whiners and babies are back at it. How ya doing ladies?
Posted by: Account Deleted | December 21, 2008 at 01:50 PM
C'mon - pick 6!!!!
Posted by: Brian | December 21, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Is that Tyler Thigpen or Peyton Manning??? we look like fools. Our defense gets walked all over, and our offense only knows how to go backwards. A weak schedule is the only reason we are still alive in the playoff race.
Posted by: Earl | December 21, 2008 at 01:51 PM
SEcond fumble on the snap and not a Fin within 10 yards!!!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 21, 2008 at 01:51 PM
this clown is trying to give us the game and our D can't make a play!!!
Posted by: azfin | December 21, 2008 at 01:51 PM
Mando, no new blog for 2nd quarter?
