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.







I'll pay my own airfare to come catch Henne's passes in practice. Does he ever practice any touch passes??!!

don't think his feet were in
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:24 PM
Henne always overthrows down the field.
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | December 27, 2009 at 02:25 PM
I think he stepped out before second foot was down. Oh crap.

Marc can't drive from Orlando that's his FAKE A'S PUS'Y excuse, wahhhhhhhhh , guess he can't afford the gas LMAO much less the ticket to the game

Parcells is drinking whisky in a plastic cup.
Posted by: Tommya | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Marc = PUS'Y...
Posted by: bobbyd12 | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Almost intercepted. Lucky.
Posted by: DevilDog | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Coaching? I only see lack of talent. The coaches are doing thier best to try and keep the game as close as possible. Even though they to knew before the start of the game they were severely out gunned.
Did you expect them to hold a press conference and announce it before the game. Some fans just dont even have a clue. Thats why you're fans and not running the team. LOL

Ginns family looks stellar today
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
I'm surprised that Parcells was not seen wearing brown paper bag.
Posted by: This is a Joke | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
The worst part about the last 2 weeks is that with these BAL, JAX, and DEN losses, we coulda been in the 6th seed.
Posted by: Andrew H | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
playin for a fg
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Jesus... Henne tried to this for a field goal.
Posted by: DevilDog | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Dolphins only need nine field goals to tie the game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Please take Henne out!!!!!!
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
A FG ATTEMPT???
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
How can the stupid fans boo that Sparano is kicking the field goal?
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Yeah for a field goal attempt. I'm so happy!!
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
get off Henne jeez if this guy had any type of defense we would be in the playoffs ... our defense is horrible
Posted by: sick of this game | December 27, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Mando how bad can Patrick turner be why can't we play this guy cannot do any worst
Posted by: Lazysol | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
another nice catch by ginn
Posted by: Jeff | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Think they were booing Henne's 50 overthrows
Posted by: PhinPhanGaz | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
What u want white in ??
Posted by: Replayrn | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
play calling is abysmal! Do you really kick a field goal at this point? REALLY?
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
The defense makes him overthrow the passes?
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Hey Armando, stop stealing my lines!
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Mando any evaluation of this team needs to include coaching. Play calling and time mgmt have been real issues for us all year.
Posted by: D-dense | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
A good time out, Gannon? Bull crap. It is bull $hit timeout. He is up 27 points and is icing the kicker.
Gannon is a douce and so is Ian Eagle.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
oh goody 3 points
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
Crap play calling. High school football.
Posted by: spillmar | December 27, 2009 at 02:28 PM
OK, now that right back in it with that 3
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
anyone want my tix for next week? I'm stayin in Jersey! Pittsburgh will crush Miami next week
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
At least this means that Parcells will definitely be sticking around for a bit longer. His work is obviously not done...
Posted by: Kevin | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
How does one go from a playoff contending team to the worst team in less than seven days?
Posted by: This is a Joke | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
Henne looks awful, I would rather see White in there. Henne needs to be benched when he plays like this
Posted by: Ziggy | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
WooooooooHoooooooo!! 27-3.
Posted by: Dreesen | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
Let's see...Pittsburgh is winning. Got our scoreboard help. Unreal.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
Glad I've got the Ticket so I can see some competetive games today.
Posted by: Buddy | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
GUYS, wat r u doing?
Posted by: Davesteding | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
phew....24 more points!
Posted by: Jeff | December 27, 2009 at 02:29 PM
great...avoided shut out... I AM SO PROUD!
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
idiot sparano clapping again.
Posted by: JLuck | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
wow terrible at least 21-3 would seem to give us a chance. im not sure if we play a perfect second half we can do it. miami should play lights out next week with nothing to play for.
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
It's times like this henne needs Penny to talk to, settle him down some.
Posted by: Standley23 | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
I have always supported Henne, but he looks terrible so far. He's not throwing catchable balls. Too hard to the backs and overthrowing the WR.
At least we won't get shutout at home...
Posted by: tar | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
Parcells is drinking whisky in a plastic cup.
Posted by: Tommya | December 27, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Probably Jager
Posted by: cocoajoe | December 27, 2009 at 02:30 PM
Dude, where's my team?
Posted by: Davesteding | December 27, 2009 at 02:31 PM
Hey in the 2nd half Texans may help us to keep the score more respectable by running the ball more. LOL
Posted by: DyingBreed | December 27, 2009 at 02:31 PM
that's because they weren't a playoff contending team
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 27, 2009 at 02:31 PM
Thigpen?????????
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 02:31 PM
Schaub 14-18, 247 yds 2 TD;
Henne 11-23, 82 yds INT
Fins 25 yards rushing...

buffalo, tenn., and today are the 3 games we needed most and just completely blew or are blowing all of them. The team is not clutch.
Posted by: dave | December 27, 2009 at 02:31 PM
Depending on how badly the Phins choke the rest of the season, I predict Parcells walks, a la Jimmy Johnson after the Jville debacle.
Posted by: Buddy | December 27, 2009 at 02:32 PM
Good news, I heard the Real Dolphins just arrived in at the Miami airport, they should be at the stadium shortly!
Posted by: Hd2463 | December 27, 2009 at 02:33 PM
another mirage...thought our team was improving...guess I was wrong...again...guess I'll just watch college football from now on...
Posted by: mntmanfinfan | December 27, 2009 at 02:33 PM
I don't believe this...our secondary got totally exposed in the second half
Posted by: PMTamayo | December 27, 2009 at 02:34 PM
So.. i think it's time to start thinking offseason.. who do the Dolphins not sign that they should?? who do the Dolphins not draft that they should??
Been a Dolphins fan since birth in 1978.. how long do I stay faithful to the team when they aren't even close to sniffing a SuperBowl win?
I once read someone selling their fanship... I'm seriously considering it..
