Well, do you want the good news or the bad news first?
The good news is the last time the Dolphins played Baltimore, way back in October, the Ravens held a 17-3 lead on Miami to open the third quarter.
So the Dolphins have made up some ground in the past two months or so.
The bad news? Well, they're still losing at halftime today. The Dolphins trail Baltimore 13-3 going into the third quarter.
It has been a nightmare half for Chad Pennington. Pennington has thrown TWO interceptions today while completing only 7 of 12 passes for 77 yards. One of those interceptions was returned 64 yards for a TD by Ed Reed. That is Baltimore's only touchdown of the day so far.
Terrible.
Oh, there is more bad news: Receiver Davone Bess has a thumb injury and missed most of the second quarter. So the Dolphins, which started the day with only three active receivers, are down to two.
Colleague David J. Neal tells me the Dolphins have gone 12 consecutive postseason quarters without a touchdown.
Anyway, the live blog continues in the comments section below.
That's the way to move the ball - dink and dunk it...

Go Ginn

Well, it finally happened. The FRAUDolphins have been exposed. What a pathetic show this afternoon. Totally outclassed. Is it any surprise? They had no business being in the playoffs to begin with. They did'nt beat anyone this year (except the Patriots, who were reeling at the loss of Brady at the time, and subsequently beat them by about what, 1 million points)? hope you enjoyed your brief view from the top of the AFC East FRAUDolphins fans. It's back to the cellar fr you next season.

personal foul on ravens
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 03:06 PM
What game are you watching how did ted ginn tripping cost us the game when the ball was clearly above the raven denfenders head instead of gins head. The ball was not even by ginn lol
Dont get me wrong shad was good this year but all three of those turnovers are his fault. The dude you said that cost us the game was wide open on one of those passes but chad over threw him and turned over the ball. Well fellows it looked like cinderallas car has turned back into a pumpkin when the clock struck 12:00. Looks like bill will be gone and things will turn back to normal. I myself will still be here until the franchise goes away because Im loyal and will always be a phin lol

Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 03:06 PM
Don't like Brown's knees twisitng like that.
Posted by: Mark D | January 04, 2009 at 03:06 PM
Suggs was giving Brown the business.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 03:06 PM
7 straight
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
I'm not gonna get on Chad's back for one poor game. He will take the blame like a man and be ready next year. It's sad and it sucks today, but we can't overlook 16 good games just because of one poor game
Posted by: Chet | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
Need the TD to at least FEEL better about the whole thing.
Posted by: Andrew H | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
all over ravens d go chad
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
The Ravens are a bunch of thugs that represent the worst part of the NFL. It figures they would put a team like this together.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
we need to move with urgency.
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
hit fasano on a quick slant
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
At least we have shut down and shut up the murderer, Ray Lewis. He and OJ prove that the wealthy can literally get away with killing innocent humans.
Posted by: Chet | January 04, 2009 at 03:07 PM
TD for me!
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 03:08 PM
Suggs is a piece of crap! someone cheap shot him in the back of the knee now!!!

Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 03:08 PM

Posted by: Andrew H | January 04, 2009 at 03:08 PM
wow start to move the ball then throws an interception!!! it is over now!!!
Posted by: farrington07 | January 04, 2009 at 03:08 PM
Horrible throw. triple coverage. Amazing how bad Chad has played.
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
i guess we finally all see why Penny will NEVER get league MVP, and what he's really made of...
Posted by: Marc | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Cannot win throwing three interceptions.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
damn
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
2 MORE DRIVES AND HE WILL MATCH HIS SEASON TOTALS
Posted by: David | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Put the rookie in there. He can't do any worse
Posted by: Bernski | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
*Memo to Chad* Ed Reed is NOT on our team.
Posted by: IA DolFan | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
thats four INTs btw.
Posted by: LOL | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Is the Brett Favre or Chad Pennington at qb?
Posted by: kim | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
4 Armando
Posted by: Cam Cameron | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Enoughs enough. This is the worst playoff game I have ever senn from a QB ever, Pennington is doen. Do the right thing and shut him down.
Posted by: The Boz in Oz | January 04, 2009 at 03:09 PM
This game was over already. What a joke!!!
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 03:10 PM
start thinking draft,
1RD DT need to get stronger inside!
2RD ILB need a play maker! Crowder might be gone.
2RD FS Hill is not the long term answer.
3RD WR need a big target to go along with Ginn/Wilford will be gone.
4RD CB Why not!
5RD RT Need to get deeper
7RD G Could always use more interior help

AFC EAST Next Year:
1. Patriots
2. Bills
3. Jets
4. FRAUDolphins
You read it here first.
Posted by: Football Fan | January 04, 2009 at 03:10 PM
Hey, I just heard Thomas Jones on Hot 97 saying that Chad Pennington should be benched in favor of Chad Henne.
Posted by: Cam Cameron | January 04, 2009 at 03:10 PM
reed got up limping
Posted by: Mike W | January 04, 2009 at 03:11 PM
I'm glad we have Mando to give us his great incite. I thought throwing interceptions was the game plan.
Posted by: | January 04, 2009 at 03:11 PM
man - if we score, we are in it but it is over now.
Good season - screw the naysayers on here. Go root for the Bills or Patriots. Get on the bus and stay or get the heck off.
Posted by: Matt | January 04, 2009 at 03:11 PM

Posted by: Cam Cameron | January 04, 2009 at 03:11 PM
nice stop, we need a run back
Posted by: Earl | January 04, 2009 at 03:12 PM
Ravens fans on this site - do you seriously have to be so obnoxious? Your team is destroying ours on the field and breaking the hearts of the fans off the field. Couldn't you just be classy and stop the trash talk?
Posted by: finsfanmanda | January 04, 2009 at 03:12 PM
McGahee is burried on that roster, eh?
