Dolphins lead Bills 3-0 to start second quarter

ORCHARD PARK -- The Dolphins took their first lead of the season on their first possession of the season today against the Bills.

After playing stifling defense the first series (and every series afterward, really), the Miami offense marched 37 yards en route to 32-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter. That is the only score so far.

Miami's other possessions have been stalled by a reverse call and a failed wildcat try. But the defense has been excellent.

Karlos Dansby, blitzing from the outside, has one sack already.

carpenter responsible for 3 pts for Bills and negative 3 for us

[TorturedDolphan]

So this is the mighty Miami Dolphins???

Wow.

[Jay-Mo]

Well, I promised my wife I wouldn't get smashed drunk. I have to now just to get through the second half!

[T.S.]

Henne sucks

[Mark]

I quite like TorturedDolphan. At least he is consistent. And he makes everyone else feel good about themselves...

[acwalsh8]

there should be an option to "hide" posts by certain tards on this website.

[mntmanfinfan]

Dink and dunk = few points, close games...too many mistakes...

[test]

i wish our offense and play calling was like the patsies

so good

[test]

I know jackshyt about football

[test]

dolphins playing down to the worst team in the league

[kris]

Tourtured...Test...

WHY ARE YOU HERE???

Seriously

[test]

tony must have been pissed he couldn't do this FG fist pump

[Dexter]

Good kick

[d-dense]

we lucked out!

[T.S.]

I don't care what anyone says, the Dolphins should have been leading by 21 points...mark my words, the fix is in with the officials....so far no calls on the Bills for all of their late hits or obvious holds.

[DyingBreed]

And the air goes outta Bills stadium!!!

[mntmanfinfan]

How can such total domination = 10 to 3?

[mike d]

should have had smith back to return that field goal attempt

[OhFinFan13]

Why did we call a time out with 21 seconds left? Why not let the clock run down?

[kris]

Its halftime...Test Tourtured...

WHY ARE YOU HERE..WHY ARE YU WATCHING THE GAME?

[David]

Sparano-chew their a__ Henne +Marshall +the receivers need to take this game over quickly!!!

[dave]

seems like we always one way or another keep the other team in it. we need that killer instinct. we need to put teams away.

[test]

ohfinfan13

thats tony morono for you, doesn't know how to head coach

[T.S.]

Again, bad clock management on the part of little Tony.

[LipsinToronto]

we get the ball back to start the second... so, should still have the chance to go ahead by multiple scores..

Guys, we are looking good.. we havent given up any huge plays, we almost clicked on a nice long ball...

We played much better than what we were showing in the preseason... just as many had suggested.

And anyone that says "who cares, it is against buffalo" has to admit that division games are ALWAYS tricky, no matter the team record. The Jets, Pats and Bills are always big games to worry about no matter the standings...

[mntmanfinfan]

AT least we get the ball first at half

[Eric]

Henne's been mediocre so far.

[zaphod]

Maybe Miami just doesn't want to show too much to the Vikings next week?

Ahhh, CRAP, no, they just play down to every team they play!

[redsky]

Henne still hesitant, Sparano needs to make some adjustments in the O, the D needs to save the O!

[test]

I'm here cause I think it's funny being a Jets troll
Plus I'm a total AS@hole in life

[test]

an oline coach masquerading as a head coach...

an OC who needs to retire

defense + nolan look good

[kris]

TRUE T.S.

That was bad clock management...almost bit us in the but

[T.S.]

Talk about being blind....who here can't see all of those holds and late hits...not being called.

[DyingBreed]

Lets scrap the team because we're only ahead 10-3. Non fans please address all concerns to yousuck.org!!!

[kris]

Test,

apperciate the honesty

[mntmanfinfan]

Well, the d is playing very well, we have the lead, most of the mistakes are correctable...btw how many times do you get to make the same mistake and keep calling it correctable??

[hudowl]

do we bring the starter into the 3 quater ?? or save them for Minesota ?

[SoiledBottom]

we are Stallions tied to the lvl of play of our apponents

[bobbyd12]

Very impressed overall, defense looks solid, ST solid, Henne accurate Marshall and Fasano beastly!!! Timing still a litle off but its coming

[T.S.]

It isn't like the Bills are a powerhouse on defense....Henne, making short and off his timing throws....hesitant and causes our receivers to come back or twist to make the catch...

[dave]

NE 24-0 thats killer instinct

[Armando Salguero]

[kris]

Soiled,

We blow them out in the 2nd half

AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT....TO THE BANK!

[odinseye]

Hennings play calling SUCKS.

We get in the make it break it situation and he wusses out everytime.

Grow some you wuss bag.

Marshall, Marshall, marshall!

[socalfan]

Henne 128 yds. 15-18 2 drops. Just terrible!

[T.S.]

I am happy that Miami is in the lead but if this were the Jets, or Pats we would all be depressed right about now.

[DyingBreed]

Dave it could just be poor offense and defense by the Bengals, lol!

[Armando Salguero]

[OhFinFan13]

We need those CHUNK yards in the second half that Sparano preaches about!

[LipsinToronto]

Ya, am happy too bobbyd12 - some of these guys expect to win the Superbowl today..

I just want to get the win this one with some nice plays, solid defense and few "minus" plays.

[Uhusofree]

I agree @socalfan Henne's 91.8 passer rating is just terriiibbblle.

[bobbyd12]

T.S uhh we swept the Jests and split with the Patsies past two years and we have a better team. Please, put down the drugs and learn some football

[dolfanken]

where can you watch live on the inernet?

[clay]

Just logged on, anywhere I can watch this online?

[nyfinfan]

WOWOW!!!!! Marshall almost took his head off

[redsky]

marshall just leveled that guy

[TorturedDolphan]

What's this another Marshall drop? Yep.

Here come the Bills. Here comes fish fan misery.

[Henry]

Henne is such a disappointment. With all due respect to Jake Long, we should've taken Matt Ryan. The best Henne can accomplish in his career is an average (probably not much better than Pennington). I don't know, I just don't have much confident in this Henne.
By the way, Brandon Marshal looks realy good.

[westcoastkid]

please make this
