Well, the Dolphins offense picked up where it left off Monday night, keeping the ball, driving the ball, and not scoring TDs.
The Dolphins drove from their own 2 yard line to the San Diego 1 yard line in the first quarter and didn't score.
A fumble went out of the end zone, resulting in a touchback for the Chargers.
So we were locked up at 0-0. But the Chargers then went on a 73 yard drive and got a FG from Nate Kaeding to take a 3-0 lead.
Join me in the comments section as the live blog continues.
They're putting it in reverse!

The offensive playcalling on 3rd down is atrocious.
Posted by: Bostonfinfan | September 27, 2009 at 05:05 PM
Playcalling/timing and clock management killing us this year. It's sad.
Posted by: Andrew H | September 27, 2009 at 05:05 PM
Geez, cant we score TDs!!! The difference b-w champions and winners is the difference b-w TDs and FGs.
Posted by: Ricardo in Nicaragua | September 27, 2009 at 05:05 PM
I'm tellin you; our play calling is horrible. I don't know how they expect to win like this. The defense must be really mad right now.
Posted by: FB | September 27, 2009 at 05:05 PM
Sparano has no confidence in the passing game...none. zip. nada.

Try to run the ball we'll pick you up (and slam you down for a loss). We're Enterprise.
Posted by: CarlosVP | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Hahaha. You guys are the best. When he needs to throw a 5yArd pass he doesn't. Hahahaaaaa
Posted by: Jets4life | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Pass when we should run and run in a pass situation ggeez cone on Dan I understand conservative calls at times but not all the damn time!
Posted by: FinFanEd | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM
not quite sure what the deal with this staff is. their willingness to settle for field goals rather than risk turning it over is pathetic. they really don't seem to value touchdowns. you would think that they learnt their lesson last Monday. guess not.
Posted by: Adam from Montreal | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Mando, please expose the coaching on their play calling. You're our voice out there. This is very frustrating man.
Posted by: FB | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM
I mean, wouldn't Ronnie be TIRED there after carrying the ball the previous 3 or 4 times.
Posted by: Andrew H | September 27, 2009 at 05:06 PM

Awesome to see Jets fan flying high. Even better when they come crashing down. Again.
Posted by: CarlosVP | September 27, 2009 at 05:07 PM
Grow some balls Sparano and tell your Offense not to run on 3rd & 5. They deserve to lose with that kind of give up attitude.
