JACKSONVILLE -- This one seemed well under control. The Dolphins were leading 14-7. They were deep in Jaguars territory.
And then Vernon Carey gave up a second-down sack. Then offensive coordinator Dan Henning called a sweep on third-and-18 which didn't get within an area code of a first. And then Dan Carpenter missed a chip-shot field goal.
Not to be outdone by bad tidings, the defense then got in the act. Torry Holt caught 63 yard pass from David Garrad. And the Jags kicked a field goal.
It is 14-10.
Ricky Williams, by the way, has fumbled three times today, having just lost the first one for him.
The live blog continues in the comments section.
Ricky has always fumbled, just not usually 3 in one game..

Feels like Ricky is fumbling it away

we are dominanting everywhere except in the all important turnovers.
Posted by: HP in PA | December 13, 2009 at 03:19 PM
We should fire the coaches then the players wont drop passes and fumble the ball right guys?
Posted by: woops | December 13, 2009 at 03:19 PM
"Not normally known as a fumbler"...Where has that guy been?
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 03:19 PM
No more Ricky I guess.
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 03:19 PM
Nice stand by the defense. Now we need a touchdown!

Posted by: HP in PA | December 13, 2009 at 03:20 PM
You would think that some time both the O, D and Special Teams would all have a good game at the same time...wouldn't ya?
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 03:20 PM

Henne-God speed-Via Condios!
Posted by: David | December 13, 2009 at 03:20 PM
On the bright side, Jaguars refuse to do much other than run MJD inside.
63 yard bombs? Who cares?
The game plan says run MJD inside.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 03:20 PM
Solai might be our maN at d tackle if he can keep playing like this, two good weeks now
Posted by: woops | December 13, 2009 at 03:21 PM

I been saying all year give Camarillo the damn ball. Finally we're seeing it.
Posted by: Jonathanlippe | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
But in an instance, MJD can bust one and all of a sudden Miami is losing
Posted by: Jay-Mo | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
Feelen kind of shaky.
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
the 63 yard bomb was a miscue on the defense mando, they don't do it every play, it just feels like it sometimes
Posted by: woops | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
IF they want to be cute FINE. But give Henne the ball for one series and let him score a damn touch down. Then get all the fairy dust s hit out there with the wildcat, wildpat, patcat, and reverse b shi t. BUT LET HENNE SCORE

Can we hire the personnel dept of the Indianpolis Colts to help us next year?
Posted by: David | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
And now we understand why Donald Thomas is splitting snaps and has lost his starting job.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 03:22 PM
Shotgun Maybe?

Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 03:23 PM
So now according to phins win not only will bess not be on the team next year , then wiiliams also should be cut becauseof his fumbles.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 03:23 PM
Let's hope that our defense doesn't return to their old ways in the 4th quarter. Let's hope that they play like they did in the NE game.
Guys, this game is going to come down to the last standing defense. It will be a defensive struggle in the last quarter.
Posted by: Jules | December 13, 2009 at 03:23 PM
Wow , phins win , the more you talk . the more you show what a complete idiot you are LMFAO ! I think many would agree about assessement about bess LMFAO !

NJ PHIN FAN will get mad at you for saying that.
Posted by: PhinsWin? | December 13, 2009 at 03:23 PM
Think that fumble woke ricky up that last run was the most inspired i had seen all day.
Posted by: shaggy | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM

Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM
That's an absolutely insane, game-losing play call on 3rd down. You have got to be kidding me!
Posted by: The New Kid | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM
You know who should be cut ? HENNING
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM
play calling? How do you guys like that? WHat does it feel like? Getting a nice conservative call when we needed henne. How do you like the fell of getting screwed by your coordinators?
Posted by: richard3000 | December 13, 2009 at 03:24 PM
henne is playing great..to bad BESS and Ricky are screwing it up for everybody.
Posted by: stewart | December 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM
So now according to phins win not only will bess not be on the team next year , then wiiliams also should be cut becauseof his fumbles.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN
You have no morals. I never said Williams should be cut. NEVER.
HOW MANY FUMBLES HAS BESS LOST THIS YEAR, STAT BOY??
Posted by: PhinsWin? | December 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Does anybody know where I can listen to the game on the radio in south Florida?
Posted by: Inimounts | December 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM
NJ Right.
Posted by: Po White Trash | December 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM
and THIS is why I play Madden folks
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Why not let Henne throw a quick slant for the first down? He has been pretty reliable thus far. A running play, really?
Posted by: Phintastic | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
why does morono allow henning to call garbage...
roll henne out, he is on a roll with those plays
Posted by: test | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
It all boils down to " play calling"
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Can we all agree that the play-calling this half has been strange to bad?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Henne is playing lights out, but Henning always finds a way to take it out of his hands in critical situations.
Posted by: Kula | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Another stupid call on 3rd and 3. We needed the ball in the hands of Henne.
We need our D to continue playing well in the 4th. Our offense is moving the ball, but do not reward said efforts with points.
TODAY, it's not about the offense or special teams. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE D. Please let Cameron Wake run wild!!!
Posted by: Jules | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
I must be posting my comments under the wrong quarters. Come on Miami, hold them here!
Posted by: Tony Nicoletti | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
play calling is maddening--playing not to lose...usually that results in a loss
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Yes Mandy...I think that can be said safely
Posted by: Marc | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
More bad than strange, Armando.
Posted by: The New Kid | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
NJ Wrong
Posted by: Sal in Sunrise | December 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM
We need a pick 6 on D!
