One team is playing like they have playoff hopes on the line.
One team is playing like the season is over.
The Dolphins are the latter.
The Texans have found Andre Johnson. Have broken tackles. And have overcome a couple of sacks.
The Dolphins have missed tackles, been unable to cover Johnson and been unable to mount an offensive challenge.
And that's why Miami is down 10-0.

big play needed
Posted by: carlito from golfito | December 27, 2009 at 01:36 PM
If the Dolphins are going to show life, now is a time because field position favors them.
Now is the time!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 01:36 PM
need a big play on D
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 01:36 PM
I know this has been covered before Mandy, but, do you REALLY need a new post every QTR?
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 01:36 PM
Texans are backed up...second and long...usually good Defenses make a team pay here...will we??
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:37 PM
anyone have a real link please, or should i not watch?
Posted by: jaksin | December 27, 2009 at 01:37 PM
I understand it's a building process, but I do expect to watch a professional team regardless. I agree with the comment below, our offensive coordinator needs to go bye bye!
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 01:37 PM
Ok we need a new Playcaller, 3rd and 1 and we pass? We have a fb that is a manbeast I mean cmon guys that's crap

Posted by: carlito from golfito | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
The San diego whooping of tenn showed how far away miami is from being a super bowl contender.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
Well, at least we know the coverage problem isn't just with Andre Johnson.
They're not covering ANYBODY!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
so much for field position
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
They are going to get blown out. No hope.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
where the F is the Defense!!! 21 yard gain is more than we have for the entire game!!!
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
Schuab 8-8 135 yards; yikes
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM

Posted by: J | December 27, 2009 at 01:38 PM
How do they keep doing that so easily???
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Torbor is getting lit on fire.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Walter - anyone want to cover him?
Posted by: pancanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM

Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Miami looks lost
Posted by: LyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Matt Schaub is not Peyton Manning... WTF
Posted by: carlito from golfito | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM

Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM

Posted by: Brett144 | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
I'm glad Clemmons is in, but why can't we cover anybody??? We are missing "Big Furg" today BIG TIME!!!!
Posted by: Phintastic | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Carlito , did you see MOSES with the sack. I'm telling you , he needs to play more.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
we are getting WORKED!
Posted by: pancanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Totally outcoached.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Texans -- seven 10 yard plus plays...wow?
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
where are all the Crowder haters? TORBOR is killing us!!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Channing Crowder has a foot injury.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Miami has no clue what's going on. This is embarrassing. And it's on the coach.
Posted by: Ekinger | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
NE TD 14-0
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
Torbor looks slower than me!!!!!!
Posted by: Phintastic | December 27, 2009 at 01:39 PM
5 yard gain by who?
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
LBs cant cover at all!!!
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Houston appears to want this game more.
Posted by: pancanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
1st incomplete pass by HOU was a dropped pass. But then another big completion. HOU is passing at will. There is no hope for MIAMI today. They are just playing flat with no heart.
Posted by: Jules | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Torbor can't cover a fly with a tent
Posted by: spillmar | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Wow! Holes everywhere. Pass/run isn't that what we use to do
Posted by: D-dense | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Torbor just stood there as TE ran by him...
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Until further notice they will be called the Miami dolphins efense.
Posted by: Litos | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
This team looks absolutely lost. I hate to say it but Sparano needs to take control of his coordinators. These two buffoons need a tounge lashing.
Posted by: LyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
this is hilarious
Posted by: J | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Great touchdown.
Posted by: Hennething | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Call a team time out, regroup!
Posted by: Standley23 | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
wow we suck
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Noone can cover someone man to man for 10 seconds
Posted by: Chase | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Torbor is horrible!!! Where are all you Crowder haters now?
Posted by: heat1210 | December 27, 2009 at 01:40 PM

Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 01:41 PM

Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 01:41 PM
candy from a crying baby, put a fork in them!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 01:41 PM
What's the point of having a safety back there if that's the type of tackle he's going to make? Disgusting
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | December 27, 2009 at 01:41 PM
Where the F*** is our pass rush?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
