Dolphins trail Falcons 10-0 going to 3rd Q

The Dolphins are losing 10-0 at halftime. The offense that suffered only 13 turnovers all of 2008 has two turnovers already this season.

And that offensive line that cost $156 million has plowed the Falcons aside to the tune of only 38 rushing yards.

Pat White participated in three spread offense plays -- one of which was an overthrow to a wide open Ted Ginn Jr.

At least Henne can come in the 4th Q and gets some points on the board like last year at Arizona

[azfin]

go to hell hannibal!

[FB]

Forget about scared confused, it's time to move on. How long are we going to wait? Get him out of the game right now. Anything, I mean anything is better that this. It's too late for a come back now.

[LOL]

bring in pat white until 4th qtr then henne. i cant believe im even saying this!!!!!!!

[PMTamayo]

WTF IS GOING ON?

[cocoajoe]

OK Sparano, want to tell us about your decision to put Henne on the inactive list? Oh yeah, I forgot, White and the cat.

[finfan23]

now we will see what kind of character we have. Are we giving up or fighting to the end. We never gave up last year but i am feeling we are in this game. Not a good sign. Seems like same thing against jax in the playoffs. Aggressive teams intimidate us. Maybe we can take a knee on kickoffs

[Knight]

We are beating ourselves with the damn turnovers. This is a disapointing game for sure.

[Po White Trash]

Looks like the team has quit.

[Joel]

Dierdorf on his knees for Gonzalez

[Armando Salguero]

Legit question:

Chad Henne is the third QB. he can play in the fourth quarter. Do you as the coach put him in the game ahead of Pennington?

[SoiledBottom]

I just accidently put 5 shotgun shells in my TV

Soiled :)

[Panic Central]

first down....woo hoo!

[Sark]

Why didn't we go after Gonzalez? I know we have Joey Haynos, but just saying...

[FB]

Either the falcons are the next Patriots or we really suck! I don't know how else to look at this...And this is when Brown wakes up. Congrats!

[BKNYFINFAN]

Bell's missed tackle is the difference between a FG & TD . Fins are killing themselves. TO do not win games!!

[finfan23]

oH COME ON FASANO!

[Joel]

Fasano won't be getting an extension if he keeps fumbling.

[Richard3000]

Complete meltdown.......

[azfin]

Lets face it YB looks like an average NFL scrub! Need to address the SS position during next years draft and we also need to look for some real WR's.

[Armando Salguero]

Terrible day for Anthony Fasano. Second fumble of the day.

[Matt]

Anyone else think Fasano is getting cut?
Come on - hold on to the g*d damn ball!

[Po White Trash]

Where are my meds?

[FB]

Get fumblano out of the freagin' game too

[Sark]

What a long week it will be

[Pound]

now i can understnd some pesimism. this is painful.

[Adam]

Send Fasano back to "Jersey". What a piece of sh*t.

[dolphanforlife]

Good Bye!

[Dol-Fan UK]

We cut Martin and Wilford for Fasano......

[Richard3000]

I know the problem I think it's JT he brings in some old ghosts lol

[Joel]

Phins need to scratch the trickery until they get the fundamentals down.

[Ericbam]

Why don't we go after some good offensive players

[Andrew H]

Well, this only an NFC game. Doesn't hurt our division or AFC conference record. We only made it last year because we lost to AZ (but beat SD) while Pats beat AZ but lost to SD. These lil things can come to matter a lot later.

[miami71]

I would like to tell all the Dolphin fans who continuosly stick by the picking Jake Long over Matt Ryan. YOU ARE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rosieprieto]

Is Fascano a veteran?

[Standley23]

I wanna puke!

[FB]

Hey Parcells, what do you think of that??????????????????
I think we're fighting hard out there...And the worst of all, Fasano doesn't even look fazed by any of this. You'd think he has 100 yds already. No emotion on his face.
Keep it up Phins, this is what we waited 8 months for.

[Zach]

What is wrong with fasano?

[Armando Salguero]

The defense looks like it's fighting.

The look on the faces of the offensive players when they've come off the field the past two possessions says they are over their head. They don't seem to know how to overcome the adversity.

[finfan23]

Time to put in Henne. He's the only chance. We need someone who can throw it 50 yards downfield. Then we can pray he doesn't make mistakes. But chad's arm isn't going to do that for us

[cocoajoe]

Answer: Henne

[stevenj]

Loving that Jake Long pick. How much are we payin for that offensive line, they look to be worth maybe 25 cents. Looking like a long maybe 4 win season right now.

[nposada]

It's only the first game , let's keep saying that untill next week

[Brett144]

Sad just sad.

[Marc]

WE NEED THE SAME THING WE'VE NEEDED FOR OVER A DECADE....A QUARTERBACK!!!!!!!!!

[ziggy]

im actually laughing a lot right now. this is priceless, even Jacksonville and Tampa look better than we do today. Chad and Fasano 2 turnovers each!! Let the Henne era begin next week and let Fasano hang on the practice squad for a few weeks

[Armando Salguero]

THE LIVE BLOG HAS MIGRATED TO THE NEW POST AT THE TOP OF THE BLOG FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER.

[dcgator]

Feels like 2007 again.

[Big I]

Let's break out the paper bags AGAIN.... this is absolutely pathetic

[FinsFan70]

This is just painful to watch! WTF Fasano. We can't do anything right.

[azfin]

BP needs to find another TE TODAY! this funblano guy stinks!!! I need another beer!!!

[Armando Salguero]

PLEASE GO TO THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE NEW BLOG POST NOW.

[Po White Trash]

The future might be here..

[Sark]

Do you think Dierdorf likes Gonzalez or Tom Brady better?

[Chris]

This team is THE same. Gimmicky offense and MUST play mistake free too even keep it close.

Now, we have to listen to Sparano's obvious turnover ratio/winning % stats...

Merling played well.

[S]

THIS IS THE DOLPHINS I KNOW AND LOVE.

[philm]

our poor Defense !!! Henne will be coming in to protect Chad P.

[Marc]

Oh, but to answer your question Mandy. I would start my crippled colleague ahead of Pennington

[ziggy]

attn folks its the 4th quarter which means that we can put Henne in!!!!!!!! Hes teh 3rd string emergency qb and he is eligible in the 4th provided we dont let white or noodle arm back in

[cocoajoe]

The clue should have been the poor performance by ALL units in ALL of the preseason games.
