Pennington out, Henne in, Dolphins trail 10-6

The Dolphins season has taken a drastic detour in the third quarter of this game.

Chad Pennington injured his right shoulder and is out for the remainder of the game and possibly longer.

Chad Henne in for the remainder of the game and possibly longer.

And the defense gave up a TD that has the Dolphins trailing 10-3 to start the final stanza.

Hey I know let's score a late TD that means &)%# this is what happens when you play it safe for too long. Sometimes you gotta go all in and pray.

[FB]

No rush, the game is over anyway. I hope they go 0-16.

[mike white]

and to think we could have had both Brese and Ryan

[finfan23]

radio says we need to pass to middle, long would be nice too. if we only throw it 5 yards there are 11 people just waiting for the ball

[Eddy007]

Ginn needs to be our 5th WR

[Brett144]

Let's just run the wildcat full time!!

[Armando Salguero]

Vernon Carey is down. Terrible. Nightmare.

[Earl]

At least we will know that Henne is not the future, and we will finally draft a QB in the first round.

[finfan23]

vernon is done

[phil76]

ok guys im off to get drunk cause we suck and atleast for the rest of tonight i can forget that fact

[Krome24s]

He wasn't open...why throw that

[Big I]

Mando--we still down by 7? You've seen this team long enough to know what to expect...please, call it like we all see it...this team did not do nearly enough to address the huge needs at WR and that is the core of the issue on this offense. One free agent pick up would have solved--hell Terrel Owens could have solved the issue (though parcells hates him like poison and yes he would have been worth the headaches cuz he is a threat)...please, give this front office/coaching staff what they deserve

[finfan23]

tim tebow

[miateamsfan]

smh henne throwing into double coverage when somebody else has got to be single covered on the blitz by sd

[Armando Salguero]

Carey was grabbing his right knee when he went down.

[rogperu]

we are in good shape to take Sam Bradford

[TorturedDolphan]

Yes! Vernon overpaid sack of crap Carey is down!

[Cheer]

Lets just kneel down and go home

[Jetset09]

WOW THIS KID HENNE HAS A NICE ARM TOO BAD HE CANT HIT THE BROADSIDE OF A BARN WITH IT, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..............

[Krome24s]

2 yards(passing ) and a cloud of bust

[nitemare]

Wow- this is worse than the 1-15 team.

So SAD!!!!

From top to bottom, this team sucks.

Bad play calling- now I know its not Penne, its the coaches- they just don't want to throw.

Qb- penne nor henne can throw-terrible

Ginn sucks!!! I gave him benefit but he SUCKS.

Defense is worse than a high school team.

Why all the dinks and dunks??? Twice in the 5 yr lane and we get nothing...just running? What?

[finfan23]

chad's career is over with his injury. I am an RN and saw him throw his shoulder out, he is finished

[Armando Salguero]

If Ted Ginn had Davone Bess's heart, he'd be a good player.

[shaggy]

No kidding, if taht a hole saban takes bree's we don't have these problems.

[Jaison]

Pat white should be our qb if pennington can't play. They we can be a wildcat offense every play.

[Tikkanen]

Davone Bess is one of the few players who earns his game check game in and game out.

[finfan23]

did i mention i love bess and chad loves bess too

[Sailorbob]

Cut ginn, cut g Wilson and kick some ass!!

[Big John]

Vernon Carey hurt, Henne sucks, dolphins lose....CHIT!!!!

[benz]

Armando is a negative writer

[Krome24s]

I thought he was supposed to throw a nice deep ball? He doesn't even throw a nice quick slant

[Vtankdog1234]

Keep henne

[finfan23]

hike it

[finfan23]

WHY DO WE WAIT!!!!!

[WBoyd]

Snake Oil - That's what Parcell's has been selling us for the past two years. Last year was just the result of an easy schedule playing all the cream-puffs in the league. This team has been waxed the last 4 games. Don't tell me about last week - Indiana should have killed them. How does Matt Ryan look now?

[rogperu]

hope we can win a game

[finfan23]

he caught it though

[Po White Trash]

Well said Mando

[Mark in Toronto]

This is what you get for being a slob. Eat another big mac!

[miateamsfan]

okay maybe this gets henne going

[Earl]

and with the first pick in the draft, the Miami Dolphins take...

[PhishFan]

Brown, Williams and Bess our best weapons. That should be a catch, think Ginn would have pulled that in?

[Robdmill]

Why is ness not in the starting line up?

[TorturedDolphan]

Ohhhhh Bill you are soooooo wise. Look at the marvelous team you have put together.

[finfan23]

Beautiful!!! Pull it out Dolphins come on! Bess and Ronnie want to play

[nitemare]

I blame the whole team againt this anemic san diego team...they are worse than us in the redzone (almost).

It seems after halftime the whole team gave up.

But honestly, one see a reporter ask about the play calling-it is so friggin lame

[Germany speaking]

HOPE you Pennington HATERS and Ginn LOVERS are enjoying tonight!!!!!!!!!!

[AS]

Ted Ginn would be in the practice squad in any other team. This guy is taking up a spot in the roster.

[Ed Isontownship]

An 0-3 start and possibly no Pennington going forward. Wow this could be a long ugly year.

It ALREADY is!!

BTW---HENNE has sucked in two preseasons. He is what he is, a lousy draft pick. Once you realize that, then the entire Draft Long, Not Ryan myth exlodes.....as does Tuna's rep.

The seeds of this failure were planted when we passed on a franchise QB (and Flacco too) and drafted a good, not great, LT.

DUMB DUMB DUMB.

[chuck]

WHO WOULD U GUYS PICK IN COLLEGE WITH THE FIRST PICK? SERIOUSLY. WHO ARE THE TOP 5 OFFENSIVE PROSPECTS OR IS THERE A BALLHAWKING SAFETY

[Krome24s]

Bess, Ricky and Ronnie that's all we got on O folks

[Eddy007]

Henne just needs play time, looking good on this drive

[Javier P]

1-15 anyone?

[Mark in Toronto]

That a boy Henne. Let him play out the year. Having Pennington play solves nothing

[Hayden Fox]

I think Ginn cares....c'mon guys.

[Brett144]

Who are you jetset09?

[JohnC]

This is crap football. Embarassment

[Dbromo]

Ronnie brown is a better receiver than any of our receivers

[DFJ305]

RONNIE BROWN , only offensive player for dolphins

[Mark]

Give Henne some weapons then the outcome will be different. You cant expect Henne to thrown Touchdown after Touchdown with this woeful WR corps.
