The Chargers are doing a great job of keeping the Dolphins in this one.
The team had five red zone trips last week and that resulted in four field goal and one giving up the ball on downs.
They have two red zone trips this week and have made a field goal and missed a field goal. They also fumbled inside the 20 yard to set up the Dolphins for Miami's lone score on a Dan Carpenter field goal.
So we're tied at 3-3 and it was encouraging for Miami to see the San Diego fans boo the home team off the field at halftime.

no dude, our coaches and play calling sucks. What is it about this you don't see? Every thing is done in reverse order. They cannot get anything right. WTF?

Coaches have no faith in Henne.
Posted by: O! | September 27, 2009 at 06:15 PM

Why throw to polite when you hv brown, Ricky or even cobbs???? And WTF on 2&15????
Posted by: FinFanEd | September 27, 2009 at 06:15 PM
Henne is tight, Henning is going to play it too safe, the Chargers are going to smell the fear coming off of both of them.
Posted by: Kula | September 27, 2009 at 06:15 PM
terrible coching

Posted by: Fernando | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM

Posted by: O! | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM

Posted by: Big I | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
J-e-t-s, jets jets jets.
Posted by: Jets4life | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Evidently all pass plays....again ALL PASS PLAYS are drawn up for Penny NOT Henne...nothing more then 10 yds
Posted by: mike white | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Best radio line from early in game (1st half---when we settled for field goal):
Rose---"The Chargers' defense is acting like we're afraid to pass."
Mandich--"Well, we ARE afraid to pass!"
Posted by: Ed Isontownship | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Henne looks lost....
Posted by: Louie | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Something big is missing with this team! Frustrating
Posted by: aquaandorange | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
FRAUD ALERT!!! ATTENTION FRAUD ALERT!!! TONY SPARANO, JEFF IRELAND, and BILL FATCELLS wanted for yet again fleecing the Miami Dolphins.
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Start thinking draft folks! this season is in the toilet! we cant even beat the lions with this horrible playcalling and lack of talent...
Posted by: el coach | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
thank heavens for false start here!
Posted by: finfan23 | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
our o-line sucks
Posted by: phil76 | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
WOW
they aren't helping henne out there.
Posted by: test | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Ginn's consecutive game catch streak at 29 is at risk...
Posted by: Sammy in Dubai | September 27, 2009 at 06:16 PM
Now we know why coaches stuck w penny
Posted by: Ealvarez | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
3 and 15 wasnt long enough i guess.
Posted by: dave | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
I have a serious problem with the playcalling, Henne isnt even getting a chance to succeed. Penalties and runs for 2 yards arent cutting it. I wish we never would have made the playoffs last year, would make it easier to take the suckiness now. Brown bags here we come

Stupid play
Posted by: aquaandorange | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
terrible play calling
Posted by: Joe Grimstead | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
Wow. Can't watch.
Posted by: Jaythefin | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
everyone on offense's doing their part to make it tough for Henne
Posted by: Phinswin? | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
Everyone's been calling out Pennington for the past 2 loses, and want to see Chad Henne. Dolphans becareful what you wish for. Like i've always said Henne is a bust, he will never be good.
Posted by: Eli2009 | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
that was so predictable
Posted by: Pound | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
At least I don't pay to go on some others team to be a no class ahole...and since I'm originally from NY and a Giants fan, we actually won something, I know what a piece of trash Jet fan is...get a life it worthless
Posted by: bobbyd12 | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
Wildcat for the rest of the game, we have nothing to lose
Posted by: nposada | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
smh we are going to lose this game
Posted by: miateamsfan | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
The line is not responding to Henne like they do with pennington. Maybe the count is off
Posted by: Tony Empanada | September 27, 2009 at 06:17 PM
Great draft picks Fatcells. Long, Henne, ya you are such a savior. Go set sail with JJ or just have a heart attack and get out.
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
WTF can we throw 10+yd's? I just don't get this play calling
Posted by: Zamman | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
dan henning is the worst!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: SonnyinTAMPA | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
wow--I predict Bill Parcells will run out of here the day after the season ends--just like JJ did when he realized he couldn't get it done.
Anyone who thinks Henne is the answer has not watched his game play in preseason or the limited action. He is not the answer. The Lions will have a better record than us in about 45 minutes. SAD :o(
Posted by: Big I | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
Sorry but that o line is not helping, they are sucking add
Posted by: Eddy007 | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
Henne looks scared...this guy is making me nervous
Posted by: PMTamayo | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
This reveals what I suspected this preseason---Chad Henne is a MYTH-----sometimes you gotta believe your eyes---he sucked in the preseason games.
It's obvious the coaches feel the same way.
Posted by: Ed Isontownship | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
I like thinking draft. Makes me very happy.

It is so frustrating to be a dolphins fan sometimes
Posted by: TommyMiami | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
Eli, the truth is that we are not going anywhere with Pennington, so I would rather see if we have something with Henne
Posted by: Joe Grimstead | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
The soul of Miami is crying and needs resesitation
Posted by: aquaandorange | September 27, 2009 at 06:18 PM
Doesn't matter who the quarterback is - We do not have one professional wide receiver on the roster!!!
Posted by: JohnC | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
If we have to have Henne let's use his arm
Posted by: bobbyd12 | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
henne has been in this offense for 2 years he should know it inside and out the coaches need to "cut him loose" and let him run it dont worry about the win. didnt sporano say you cant play scared of losing? come on!!
Posted by: dave | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
Ed how can you blame henne, oline sucks at the moment, no blocking are you blind
Posted by: Eddy007 | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
Do the dolphins have something against coaches with b___s?
Posted by: Hd2463 | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
Someone whip out a history book and remind Sparano about the legalization of the forward pass.
Posted by: scurrilous | September 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM
with Pennington, we look too much like the Wandstedt era but without the stellar defense
