Dolphins lead Saints 34-24 to start the 4th quarter

It is officially a thriller.

The Saints erased a 24-10 halftime lead and got within 27-24 in the third quarter. But moments ago, Chad Henne and Brian Hartline combined for a 67 yard completion and Ricky Williams scored his third TD of the game to extend Miami's lead again.

And so we have a barn burner.

Join me in the comments section for the fourth quarter to see if the Dolphins can finish the upset they have started.

So Pissed, warned you fan boys about Bree's, Knew after we let them score before halftime we were in trouble. All talking aside, congrats SAINTS FANS. You guys earned it through four quarters. That is something my phins need to work on.

[big I]

it really hurts to be a dolphin fan...that indy game was something no one has ever witnessed with time of possession, and now we blow a 21 point lead and wind up losing by double digits--wow

[Earl]

why didnt we trade ginn for cribbs?

[JBfishman]

22 unanswered points in fourth never will win like that

[Mark in Toronto]

This game doesn't hurt too much. The Saints are a very good team. However, someone has to explain to me what exactly happened to the Dolphins run. They just stopped trying.

However, the schedule will get easy soon and I still think 9 wins is attainable. If they take one from the Pats, they will have 10 and perhaps make the playoffs.

They were 2-4 last year too.

They need more playmakers.

What a disappointing loss. I'm glad I wasn't able to see the game. How could the Fins give up a 21 point lead?!? I know Ted Ginn has a hand in it. Instead of this being a statement game for Miami they are now 2-4. Blah. Looks like the defense was useless when it counted...as usual. WHAT A TURD!!!

[JC]

it is so clear now, teddy wont be a dolphins the next year, the man it is not a WR, too softie.

[allan]

season is over

[ALoco]

THE CUBAN MENCE SMARTER THAN ALL THE DOLPHIN FANS ALL PUT TOGETHER .

THE CUBAN SHOULD BE HIRED TO SCOUT COACHES AND PLAYERS .

[Dol Fan]

little boy goes to school and partakes in a spelling competition, teacher says spell bust, the child replies G.I.N.N, teacher says... close enough

[Ziggy]

We were 2-4 last year and 1-1 in the division, were 2-4 again and 2-0 in the division. But somehow feels much more hopeless this year! Wow what a step backwards this week.

[sanfrandolfan]

Cut Ginn Tonight!

[Finzfan]

Sparano gonna take alot of heat for some pisspoor performance by some of the Finz. Too bad....they should have won this fight.

someone call Ginn and Wilson a cab....get them the heck outta here!

[Finatic]

Ginn sucks! Butterfinger motherF#%^^

[krueg]

No excuse for that game...good team or not, a 21 point lead should always be enough. We are just not a good team yet.

This one hurt. bad.

[sanfrandolfan]

Fasano is dropping too many too.

CUT GINN!

[ALoco]

Mark in toronto MY AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.SHUT UP .FANS LIKE YOU SUCK.HOW CAN YOU SAY ANY THING GOOD AFTER BEING 28-4 THEN GET HIT IN THE MOUTH 43-34 MY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL OF CANADA

[shaggy]

14 points off BS calls....saints need ref's help to beat the fins

Posted by: Ray | October 25, 2009 at 07:54 PM

Ray, please.....We lost this game through holes. In no particular order...

Hole one...Crowder

Hole two....Wilson.

Hole three.. Ginn

Hole four... Just before halftime, and seccond half coaching.

Face it, we can beat anyone, but we are not there yet.

[Dolfan abroad]

Its time for some accountability. Neither Wilson or Ginn are earning their paychecks.

[Finatic]

Send ginn back to his sorry ass daddy. Drop his sorry ass. Chicken shi%.

[sanfrandolfan]

Seriously, the Tuna himself should cut Ginn's ass tonight!

[phinsfan6453]

Boy espn is talking crap about ginn. Wow

[Andy from Spain]

oh man what a bad feeling after this game... just want to get some stuff out my chest before i go to bed and dream about killing Ginn.

For me 3 things made us lose the game:

1. Drops. OMG is it normal to have that many drops? ginn is a master at dropping it but Fasano is close.

2.Time managment. Whats up in this game? We were all about time managment and in this game it looked more of a "who can score faster"

3. It is a little minor, but Sharpers TD, wasnt so.. it was a TB.

[sanfrandolfan]

Special teams is very bad too!

[phinsfan6453]

I don't understand why we stopped running the ball in the 2nd half????????

[Bernski]

ESPN just echoed the feelings of everyone on here about Ted Ginn

[ALoco]

FINS ON THE ROAD NEXT 3 WEEKS .3 LOOSES FOR SUR W/ PEOPLE LIKE FASANO,WILSON,CROWDER,JT ,GINN AND THE COACHES FROM HELL W/GUM

[canesfansc]

REALY PITIFUL....THE GAME CHANGED WHEN BONEHEAD SPORANO CALLS TIMEOUT WITH 5 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF. BREES SCORES INSTEAD OF KICKING THE FIELD GOAL BECAUSE IT STOPPED THE FRICKEN CLOCK. TOOK ALL THE MOMENTUM AWAY FROM THE FINS AND THEY NEVER GOT IT BACK.

AT LEAST THERE IS SOME CONSISTENCY ON THIS TEAM. TED GINN AND ANTHONY FASANO...THEY CONSISTENTLY DROP PASSES. WAY TO GO BOYS.

[allan]

sparano is a joke

[sanfrandolfan]

I'm so sick.

[Andy from Spain]

One last thought is that defense play calling starts all blitzing the game and as it goes along the blitzed less and less.

[Mark in Toronto]

You know why Aloco? I'm not a fair weather fan. I've been a fan since 1983 and will be a fan after they bury me in the ground. Fact is the team is a lot more talented than it was 2 years ago. They are coming along. And with the following teams on the schedule, I see reason for optimism:

NY Jets
New England
Tampa Bay
Carolina
Buffalo
New England
Jacksonville
Tennessee
Houston

Miami is better than all these teams. Don't insult or hate me for being faithful and loyal.

[allan]

need a new coach

[cuban menace]

I've been telling you guys for over a year about Ted (Hands of stone) Ginn and his family, but Nooooo, you all kept saying" Ohhh it takes 3 years for a wide receiver" lmfao....again the menace has superior intellect then some of you so called "Experts", but i degrees, until you get rid of the cancer named "Ginn" , nothing will help our beloved air breathing mammals....

[allan]

what a joke this team is

[Irish Finfan]

It's sad to say but I honestly feel like crying right now. What a depressing loss. These are the days that make you feel like giving up on all sports, but it will only last a few days until we beat the jets again.F*********CCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!

[sanfrandolfan]

this is not sparano's fault.

[Jscottviper]

I just wasted four hours of my life!!

[booGibrilWilson]

we stopped running it because we were being stuffed and the saints started stacking the box and daring us to throw

[JC]

i dont want to see ginn on the dolphins, anytime he get one ball, screws 10 passes, please anyone but ginn and his family. Ginn was selected as a favor to his family.

[allan]

ginn is sorry

[fannut]

we have the QB were are the other guys

[shaggy]

From someone who is so used to dominating teams with shula and marino, to the heartbreaking crap since the Johnson years, I am all to accustomed to this, and partly expected it.

Yes, Ginn sucks, but The Coaching staff deserves a huge turd sandwich on this one. They went soft on these guys that were sucking wind like they were on MT everest. Epic fail, almost a Jets fail.

[Finatic]

Ginn is a waste. Garbage! Dump his ass where he belongs. Can em. And too many freakin broken tackles. This Sucks!!! I need help. Omg.

[allan]

you are what ur record says you are isnt that what the tune says..means were sorry

[sanfrandolfan]

statement time....Cut teddy G!

[ALoco]

[Angry Elf]

1. Ginn goes--non-negotiable.
2. Special Teams coach should be fired.
3. Porter is done. No one takes him seriously anymore.
4. Anyone seen the linebackers this year?
5. Is there anyway we could possibly cover the intermediate pass over the middlle of the field . . .EVER???!!!!

Rookies get a pass. This batch has produced better than any Dolphin's rookie class in recent memory.

[allan]

what a sorry team

[Finatic]

2-4. Ugh!

[sanfrandolfan]

I agree....Porter is a piece of meat. Crowder is decent at stopping the run, but he should go too, along with st coach.

[allan]

a lot of these coaches must go

[Angry Elf]

And one more thing as we approach Halloween. Is it just me, or doesn't Sean Payton bear an eerie resemblance to Lee Harvey Oswald?

[sanfrandolfan]

davis and smith are playing well for rooks indeed.

[Jscottviper]

Put Ginn on the practice team and inactive for the next 8 0r 9 games........maybe the F.head would learn how to catch a football

[sanfrandolfan]

we got BEAT up front 2nd half

[cuban menace]

Again, the menace knew this was coming " Fire the coach, cut this guy and that guy" i laugh at all you so called "FANS".... get a grip, this is not that good of a team, they were lucky last year with that schudule, but unfortunitly win you go 11 and 5 , the next year you will be playing the best... so suck it up guys, this is what we got....

[allan]

sparano must answer for this

[sanfrandolfan]

cuban.... teddy should go, regardless.

[Phinswin?]

1. What can I say about Ginn that hasn't been said? Ok, I can't help it, I'll be redundant: HE'S A COWARD WITH BAD HANDS. He short-armed that deep post in the 4th quarter because he was worried about being hit in the back. There. I feel better already!
2. Porter is still a hothead, but now he's a lost-a-step-hothead. Look for Wake to start getting lots more PT.
3. This loss hurts because if we had anything resembling a playmaker at receiver or tight end WE WIN THE GAME!
