FOXBORO, MASS. -- The Dolphins clearly are not afraid of the Patriots. They've battled and fought so far in the first half.
The Patriots, meanwhile, seem to be playing in spurts. They took a 10-3 lead and Miami evened it by using the spread offense with Pat White, who has passed, run and pitched off the look.
New England answered with field goal on consecutive possessions to end the half up, 16-10. It could be worse. BenJarvus Green-Ellis dropped a pass that might have put the Dolphins down 20-10 at halftime.
The Dolphins will get the ball first in the second half.

That was a seriously quick finger on the clock wasn't it?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:46 PM
It sure was total BS.

I hope the NFL office is watching this crap.
Posted by: Gersom | November 08, 2009 at 02:47 PM
Ha, ha, if anyone thinks Vegas has no impact on The NFL, you are crazy. So many bad calls in College and Pro's. Its almost laughable.
Posted by: shaggy | November 08, 2009 at 02:47 PM
League need to check that out. The DVR does not lie!

Thet stopped the clock when the ball reached moss and not when it hits the ground. TOTAL BS !
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | November 08, 2009 at 02:48 PM
remember that it is new england...its sad when everyone knows the pats get treated differently than any other team
Posted by: zach | November 08, 2009 at 02:48 PM
MANDO--what's the press box saying about that one second. It's so blatant..is it even a replayable by the refs to challenge the time left? It's physically impossible to run that play and still have time left over the way they did
Posted by: big I | November 08, 2009 at 02:48 PM
it looks like they stopped the clock when the ball hit moss...
not when it hit the ground...
3 points gone to cheating

Belicheat at it again as usual. I still say he has the balls filled w air to his advantage on kickoffs. Our punter doesn't punt the ball that far. No way his kicker has kicked out of the endzone all year. And then he does it again five yards further back. Come on. Someone has to report this crap to the league and something has to be done. One team will destroy the validity of the league when they continue to cheat year after year and claim ignorance
Posted by: finfan23 | November 08, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Henne has so far completed only 6 of 13 -- less than 50 percent.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Miami needs a touchdown to start the 2nd half. And then, given how the defense performs in the 4th quarter, the offense will need to score on each ensuing possession.
Posted by: The New Kid | November 08, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Only stat I'll take is the one at the end of game saying we win!!!!
Posted by: DyingBreed | November 08, 2009 at 02:51 PM
They don't call em the cheatriots for nothing
Posted by: Sammy in Dubai | November 08, 2009 at 02:51 PM
here we go
they are replaying the last 30 seconds
Posted by: test | November 08, 2009 at 02:51 PM
wow
total bullcrap
Posted by: test | November 08, 2009 at 02:52 PM
The press box isn't saying anything about that one second because 1) It's New England. 2) Everyone is feeding their face with hot dogs.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:52 PM
See the replay on the last play?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:52 PM
Saprano timeout before the 2 min warning was the problem. That saved 40 secs for the Pats.
Posted by: realist | November 08, 2009 at 02:52 PM
nice job teddy ginn!
please dont do any drive killing play calls...
Posted by: test | November 08, 2009 at 02:53 PM
Pays het all the calls. NFL wants it that way. It's BS
Posted by: Zamman | November 08, 2009 at 02:53 PM
Now that Dinn has confidense he looks more aggressive on KO
Posted by: DyingBreed | November 08, 2009 at 02:53 PM
ginn puts his head down for better yardage
Posted by: acwalsh8 | November 08, 2009 at 02:53 PM

Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | November 08, 2009 at 02:53 PM
take henne out the wildcat insert white and send him in motion instead of williams so many possiblities trust me
Posted by: phinfan from birth73 | November 08, 2009 at 02:54 PM
I don't think I'm a fan of Ricky Williams getting the snap off Wildcat.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:54 PM
i am in ma. impossible to have time on the clock, the clock stayed at 1 for 3 secs, terrible, homer call that could have been changed by official replay
Posted by: poizen | November 08, 2009 at 02:54 PM
12 mins time of possession in 2nd half won't cut it.
Still think P{ats put up 40
Posted by: realist | November 08, 2009 at 02:54 PM

Posted by: test | November 08, 2009 at 02:54 PM
Polite is money baby!!!
Posted by: DyingBreed | November 08, 2009 at 02:55 PM
Polite is a beast. Everyone knows he's gonna get it and they still can't stop him.

Posted by: shaggy | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
Henne taps the ball everytime he's ready to throw.
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
Polite coming up
Posted by: Jodyzzzz | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
damn is bess the only one open
Posted by: phinfan from birth73 | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
A play action on 3rd and short probably would be VERY successful
Posted by: Marc | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
I don't understand why Ronnie Brown isn't involved now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM
Polite
Posted by: Keithwpb2lv | November 08, 2009 at 02:56 PM

why not give it to polite or rush it up the middle?
Posted by: test | November 08, 2009 at 02:57 PM
Go for it
Posted by: Jodyzzzz | November 08, 2009 at 02:57 PM
That play makes Ricky run the ball 7 yeards for the 1 yard they need for a 1st down.
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | November 08, 2009 at 02:57 PM
what kind of stupid crap play was that! Lousaka has gotten every single third and fourth and he we pitch it back three yards to ricky
Posted by: finfan23 | November 08, 2009 at 02:57 PM
