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.
Join me in the comments section for the second quarter of the live blog.







When did they bring back Tom Olivadoti (sp?)

Fins looking to secure a top 12 pick in next years draft!!!

Posted by: Zach | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
Full colapse, oh well surf looks good!! Draft a receiver...

Can we all finally agree that VD is FAR superior to SEAN SMITH?
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
I so fu*king tired of Tackles holding our DE's. Watch THAT on replay.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
we cant catch a freakin break this SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
i think we are challenging so our D can catch their breath!
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
I've has doubts about miami's coaches for a while. Unfortunately the bar was so low anything looks better. This is a receiver qb league. Henne will never be better than top 16 qb and that won't work.
Posted by: Ekinger | December 27, 2009 at 02:00 PM
Caught or not...SEAN SMITH has done less than NOTHING
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
WTF? Come on man!
Posted by: Wnyphinphan | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Why can't we cover any Tight Ends?!?!?!?!
Posted by: Phintastic | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Wasted TO...Sparano just wanted to be part of the moron parade along with the rest of the team today.
Posted by: Joe | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Houston receiver fails to make a catch, leading 24-ZIP, and he is beating himself up on the sideline. WHERE'S THE PASSION, PHINS??!!!
Posted by: Buddy | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
HE WAS IN BOUNDS!!!!!!
Posted by: Phintastic | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Mando thinks he is out of bounds that means he is in...Mando has not got a review right this year.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
it all starts in the booth...Those are the guys that draft and trade players and select coaches...Just saying...
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Wtf we challenge that
Posted by: Lazysol | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
we dont have a choice but to throw the challenge
Posted by: Zach | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
Mando- YOU GOT ONE!!!
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
I'm finally right Wayne Fontes. Even a blind squirel finds a nut every once in a while.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
Vontae made the INT but there was no excitement like it was a turning point in the game.
These guys gave up.
Very very sad
Posted by: LyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
As long as there is one person on the field or in Parcells' box associated with this franchise, this team will never win more than 4 or 5 games in a season again.
Posted by: Fire Everybody | December 27, 2009 at 02:02 PM
why cant we cover TE's? b/c our LBs avg 33 years of age on the outside
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
hey would anyone disagree that turner should play next week no matter what just to see if he is a gamer?? we have to know what we have and we wont be playing for anything.
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
Well, like I said in post to your "Pennington Plans to Play" blog, keep adding guys until you find the right mix and someone "earns" their job. I like Henne, but he still has alot to prove. Let's just give it more time people, give it more time.
Posted by: T.WAY | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
HA HA HA! good one...you are doing better than Coach P right now however.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
we need LBs to cover TE and RB!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED 1 ILB AND 2 OLB
Posted by: phinfan from birth73 | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
Thats why I have hope for next season when we add the right pieces around the nucleus we have. We have a very good nucleus. Thats all we have this season. Its not enough yet. LOL
Posted by: DyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
putting nate jones on johnson?
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
Miami is 2 drafts away from being a good playoff team.
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 27, 2009 at 01:58 PM
===============================================
Let's hope there is a Offensive and Defensive coordinator in next year's draft.
Posted by: LyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
WHY THE F*** IS NATE JONES COVERING ANDRE JOHNSON AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Posted by: Phintastic | December 27, 2009 at 02:03 PM
Wow. They suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Posted by: Joe | December 27, 2009 at 02:04 PM
Hope the other teams win so we dont feel so bad if we won we would of not make playoff
Posted by: Lazysol | December 27, 2009 at 02:04 PM
Lol. 33-0
Posted by: Ic22smooth | December 27, 2009 at 02:04 PM
my obese grandmother could split a double team against our secondary and take it to the house
Posted by: Evan | December 27, 2009 at 02:04 PM
How do things go so bad, so fast???
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 02:04 PM
31-0 nothing in a hurry!! This is what this team needed!! A blowout!! So now parcells will truly see he is NO WHERE NEAR done with this RE BUILD!! Get your FAT ASS moving TUNA
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
haha 300 yards... wow
Posted by: 99Blitz | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
Foster, Dreesen, Moats tearing us a new a@@hole. 300 yds already. Impressive
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
It is really disappointing that the defensive staff hasn't figured out something to move Jones off Andre Johnson.
That is elementary adjustment stuff.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
NEXT OFFSEASON WE NEED LIVE TACKLING
Posted by: phinfan from birth73 | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
I knew when that jack ass Omar Kelly picked them to win today we were screwed.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
10 bucks says Houston doesn't let up like we normally let up.
Posted by: LyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:05 PM
I heard Merlings name...Wow
Posted by: Marc | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
The crowd cheering D-Fence is deafening.
Not really.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Looks like that 62-7 prediction's gonna come through..
Posted by: BlazzinAce | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Texans -- 314 yards total offense!
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
No Dying Breed ur a fake piece of S'IT who needs to get lost, u have been nothing but an AS'HOLE since day one... Do us a facvor and DIE before next season
Posted by: bobbyd12 | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
HEY, we stopped a QB draw.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Sporano has no control of this team. When a boss loses control, he needs to get fired.
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Worst coverage LBs in the NFL!
Posted by: Byrddogx | December 27, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Two drafts away??? Screw waiting that long folks, why stick around that long? This team is worse than last years. I'm so tired of waiting til next year, this teams motto is "wait til next year"
Posted by: Ziggy | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Head will roll.
Posted by: Buddy | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
carolina crushing the G-MEN!! Another tuna protege that sux
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Maybe we should go back to the wildcat and let Pat White run it? No man, kidding! We need to try to put something together with Henne and Camarillo.
Posted by: D-dense | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Miami is only one offseaso away from having a team that challenges for the AFC championship. You who say 2 season are very wrong and you dont fully understand what you are seeing with the nucleus of this team.
We look so terrible today because we are in a total personel mismatch. I saw this well before the first down was played today. LOL
Posted by: DyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Team has quit.
Coaches have quit.
How long before the Tuna quits?
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
12 men...ha!
Posted by: Joe | December 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
Spoken like a serve and protect cop, LOL
