If the young Dolphins are suffering from playoff jitters, they're not showing it.
The Dolphins converted a Baltimore Ravens fumble into a 3-0 advantage when the offense moved the ball pretty well on its first series.
The Ravens, no slouches they, answered with a field goal of their own.
The second quarter will show which of the two teams, if either, can break this tie.
Join me in the comments section and we'll check it out on the live blog together.







The heat is getting to him.

come on. we needed 7 yards. why would you throw that? makes no sense. they better get a TD here
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:11 PM
The Ravens fans are making more noise than the ENTIRE Stadium, pathetic!
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 02:11 PM
Body language in the huddle not so good...
Posted by: Marc | January 04, 2009 at 02:11 PM
That's why we needed the TD early. It's over if we don't do anything here. OVER

O line suck, D line suck
Posted by: Bernski | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
come on o line
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
The O-Line really let us down today.
Posted by: Andrew H | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
I have great hands. And I run the 40 in 4.2 ... months.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
armand tell me something good anything...
Posted by: joey devilles crotch is rising | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
We win by not turning the ball over, this is bad.
Posted by: Joel | January 04, 2009 at 02:12 PM
Simms is 1000% correct, the receivers aren't giving him anything to throw to.... No one is running around to come back to him. The O-line isn't holding their blocks.
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Any word on Bess returning?
Posted by: Rob in MLB | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Must keepthis game close going into the second half. Ginn is not the man to go to in any occasion, he cant be relied upon. Chad will make most of the short stuff, but on those bombs the ball sails on him.
Posted by: The Boz in Oz | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Looks like the Fins are feeling sorry for themselves.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
just get to the half 10-3, take it. this is exactly what the ravens thrive on, trying to do too much deep in your own end.
Posted by: sonny crockett | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
o-line not blocking
missed tackles
bad play calling
10 passes and only two to WRs none to TE
no pass rush
thank god we got the home field advantage
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Let me at 'em....I know I can help this team!!!!!
Posted by: Ernest Wilford | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
the worst part is everyone called this i am keeping the faith but they are sure making it difficult
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Wait, U tellin me they only had 3 WRs active???? Not lookin 2 good
Posted by: EF Cuttin | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Long blew his block there! The entire Offense needs to pick it up! Our D has been pretty fired up today but the O looks flat!!!
Posted by: azfin | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
We look lost out their on offense! We need halftime already.
Posted by: daryl | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Men against boys at the moment.
Run, run, punt, get into the lockeroom.
Posted by: Mark D | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
This looks pathetic people. Well at least we made the playoffs. Chad will be tentative the rest of the game, we can't run the ball, our receivers are all backups.
Posted by: Bernski | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
The Dolphins did indeed activate only 3 WR today. Wilford was not active. The Dolphins only have 4 WR on the roster.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Parcells-is whos your momma a Dolphin yet-we only need 4 receivers for next year
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
Armando,
Go down there at halftime and rip the O and new one!
Posted by: cbgb | January 04, 2009 at 02:14 PM
4.2 months...lol
Posted by: drsamii | January 04, 2009 at 02:15 PM
Now we will see the character that sparano has talked about. Chad is making the rookie mistakes not Flacco. Please dont throw deep to Ginn again.
Posted by: The Boz in Oz | January 04, 2009 at 02:15 PM
bess is back!
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
ANOTHER Hook pass pattern
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
I heard Wilford had a good week of practicing and is improving every week!
Posted by: Joel | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Bess sighting.
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Bess is back!
Posted by: azfin | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
The INT was a massive blitz - five man overload off the right hand side.
Posted by: Mark D | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Here we go playing possum and try to run out the clock. Go for the first down, this is the playoffs.
Posted by: The Boz in Oz | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Are our Linemen invisible?
Posted by: Andrew H | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
their pass rush looks like a jail break
we gotta do the same on D
PRESSURE
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 02:16 PM
I actually think the Dolphins have a better chance of scoring on defense than on offense right now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
Why are we trying to create scoring opportunities for the Ravens? Run the ball and make them use the last timeout.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
We can't allow any points here.
Posted by: Joel | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
lets get our own defensive TD here.
Posted by: sonny crockett | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
SACK - NOW
Posted by: darncart | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
They have no field position Mando.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
I guess Chad is tired of getting hit... O line needs to step it up!
Posted by: azfin | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
stop the run cause thats whats coming lets get a turnover guys belive.
Posted by: joey devilles crotch is rising | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
this is sad. cant give up any points here.
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
I agree intercept + score
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
They are getting so out coached and manueverd.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
we see cobbs on the first drive and now he is gone just dink and dunk down the field
Posted by: jason | January 04, 2009 at 02:17 PM
Aweful
Posted by: darncart | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
He had a year and a half to pass. We are getting no pressure
Posted by: Bernski | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
Terrible playcalling there - that's 30 seconds extra for the Ravens.
I'd take 13-3 at the moment.
Posted by: Mark D | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
flacco has alllllldayyyyy
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
my god why do they NOT call holding on Balt
it is so obviuos
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
NO energy in this stadium right now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
They need to start believing in themselves again or it's over
Posted by: Marc | January 04, 2009 at 02:18 PM
Dolphins offense is PATHETIC. They can barely eek out positive yards. Dan Henning better come up with something quick or this is going to be a VERY LONG AND PAINFUL day.
