CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Dolphins and Panthers failed to do any scoring in the third quarter, which is fine for the Dolphins because, hey, they continue to lead.
If there's no more scoring the rest of the night, they'll be fine with that, I'm sure.
But that's not the way it works. The Panthers are at the Dolphins 8 yard line to start the fourth quarter. Yes, they are going to play one more quarter.
And you and I have to blog one more quarter. So join me in the comments section as we do that.







can someone tell what the hell our coaches we're thinking???!!!!

Always take points. Worse don't dont sit on the ball if you want to get a first down or won. Sparano must of wanted to be better than Bellicheat at least one thing; being a dumb ass.

I wouldn't count on the Jets to beat ANYONE else on their schedule, much less the Pats...

How the F*&K is Sparano a loser???
We were 1-15 a mere 18 months ago.
We won the division last year.
We're in the playoff hunt NOW.
You people are MORONS.

Give us an update on Fergeson.

Dolphins never give up. never make it easy but never give up.
Posted by: finfan23 | November 19, 2009 at 11:37 PM
GREAT WIN BUT AT WHAT COST?
Let's hope Ferguson's suffer a season ending injury.
Grove and Berger dinged up, how bad?
Who else did I miss?
Posted by: tampafin | November 19, 2009 at 11:38 PM
I don't think Sparano is stupid. He made a great game plan adjustment after losing arguably our best player. Henning also showed he can get down to basics. Conservative play in 4th quarter is idiotic and the 4and 3 run worse. It is the mental farts end of game why we are worst in league in 4th quarter.
Posted by: Spillmar | November 19, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Knew Ricky had what it takes!
All Hail Ricky!
Posted by: Po White Trash | November 19, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Has the jet trashing begun?oh n great pair of catches by Ginn!
Posted by: Gertrudys | November 19, 2009 at 11:38 PM
ricky was the man. hope he can hold up the rest of the year. if we dont find some offensive linemen, i hope he lives
Posted by: finfan23 | November 19, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Dumb ass call at the end. At least roll henne andhave him heave it out of the end zone to burn more time. I would have kicked the FG. That almost killed us.
Posted by: shaggy | November 19, 2009 at 11:39 PM
the head coach is an idiot
wtf was he thinking
Posted by: test | November 19, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Jets are puffing poll at the truckstop!
Posted by: Po White Trash | November 19, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Meant to say,
Let's hope Ferguson DIDN'T suffer season ending injury.
Someone will have to step up and be counted.

a 45 yd fg is out of carpentar's range. what the hell!!!
For the first time I'm having doubts about sparano altogether.
Posted by: dolfanSF | November 19, 2009 at 11:42 PM
We win and the coach is an idiot?
Jets need some fans!
The ones they had shot them selves!
Next!
Posted by: Po White Trash | November 19, 2009 at 11:42 PM
sparano just said the last snap the center had never snapped the ball ever, not once in practice....tooo much
Posted by: finfan23 | November 19, 2009 at 11:42 PM
Shaggy , are you kidding me ? what about if the FG gets blocked and run in for a TD. You would've benn crying about trying to kick a FG.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | November 19, 2009 at 11:43 PM
I THINK MANDO WIL SUCK RICKY OFF AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE....
Posted by: RICKY | November 19, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Are we gonna have enough players to finish the year? Christ we got banged up today.

Are you Doche bags lisiting to Tony?
Posted by: Po White Trash | November 19, 2009 at 11:43 PM
sparano says that he couldnt kick field goal because no one practiced that before in their positions. it was a patchwork line and not practiced in their positions.
Posted by: finfan23 | November 19, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Hello!!! We won we won

You play to win the game. Hello?
Posted by: Litos | November 19, 2009 at 11:49 PM
Check the record. I said in an earlier post Dolphins 24 Panthers 14. I was SOOO CLOSE! Everyone did their part, including Sparano. Folks, we're competitive 2 years in a row. That's hell of a lot better than where we were. I'm thrilled with the entire Dolphins organization, from the owner down. One of the classiest organizations in the NFL! YES, 5-5 Baby!!!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | November 19, 2009 at 11:49 PM
I was worried about that last drive, and I believed thr carpenter can kick a 45 yarder, but hell I'm happy we got the damn win. I'm glad Ricky was out that last drive, that damn field was a minefield
Posted by: Finsfan34 | November 19, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
We didn't win in the first second!
Whaaaaaaaaaaa!
Posted by: Po White Trash | November 19, 2009 at 11:50 PM
I told all of you that JP was seen by a friend in Little Havana coming out of a Santero's house all drenched in chicken blood.
And that he'd play like a man "posessed". Now do you believe me? He sure looked posessed to me.
Maybe they should send the whole team over to see this guy before the next game. Or better yet give the Santero a sideline pass and let him do his thing on the field.
Posted by: Rodney King | November 19, 2009 at 11:52 PM

Posted by: FinFan13 | November 19, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I'm surprised that none of you idiot "haters" picked up on the fact that the over was 42 and w/o that FG they only scored 41 ha ha ha ha!
