Third quarter starts with Dolphins leading Vikes, 7-0

MINNEAPOLIS -- It started out fast, with the Dolphins scoring on their first offensive possession.

Things settled down afterward, with the teams about ready to start the third quarter and Miami still holding a 7-0 lead.

Chad Henne has thrown only five passes and completed three of them for 70 yards. That includes the 46-yarder to Brandon Marshall.

The Dolphins are getting timely play from the defense. Vontae Davis got an interception at the Miami 1 yard line to thwart a Minnesota drive.

Minnesota WR Percy Harvin tweaked his hip again during the second quarter. He is questionable to return.

Defensive stand guys.....come on!!!....shut 'em down....

[Marc]

[IMAWriter]

OK, I'll say it...I TOLD Y'ALL SO!!!
Way back in the 2nd quarter Peterson would wear us down.
We didn't let Farve play catchup...that's where the int's happen.

SAME OLD SONG. What a shame, as our D played so well.
Maybe we can somehow find some O.

[superPHIN]

WOW GAME BALL TO DEFENSE!!!!

[IMAWriter]

my "Live thing" locked up.
What happened on 4th and goal?

[twitter.com/akguy]

YES REFSS YAHOO!

[Craig M]

Why does the offence have to get a first down? How do you figure? The team just has to kill the clock.

[olympic gold]

how much better would the clock look with 45 less seconds on it?

[superPHIN]

Does anybody else piss themselves when this offense is on the field???!!!!!

[IMAWriter]

How many timeout's remaining for Minn?

[IMAWriter]

No feed here now

[Craig M]

Mr Kahn,

Not sure Nolan won't be here for a while. He's regarded as a great co-ordinator but not such a great head coach.

[olympic gold]

ive pissed myself since dan retired!!!!

[finfan23]

no matter what happens i am so proud of our team. This is a great team we are playing, we have no linebackers left this week and we are winning at the end of the game. So proud! our defense especially rocks. They scored all their points by turnovers practically in the endzone.

[mobiljorge]

Go Dolphins!

[superPHIN]

ONE TIMEOUT LEFT!!!

[The New Kid]

Okay. We still need one more first down. It's second and 10. they're probably going to run the ball on 2nd down to make Minnesota use another TO. Which means Henne has to make a play on 3rd what will probably be 3rd and long.

BTW - That 30 seconds that the refs failed to run off after Favre was sacked earlier this quarter is coming back to be a factor in this game Unsurpring.

[superPHIN]

Heres the game!!!

[mr kahn]

craig someone is gonna give him a chance again our defense is gonna b awesome this year n he will get the credit

[IMAWriter]

Ah, just got it back.
Shut up, Gumbel!!

[Craig M]

Anyone else surprised that Camarillo was running back kicks today?

[olympic gold]

wildcat pleaae

[superPHIN]

WTF???? Miamis offense is absolutely not playing well

[mr kahn]

defense please

[twitter.com/akguy]

Can the D do it one more time?

[IMAWriter]

Freakin' Henning. Why not a delay...have Henne try to draw them offsides.
Henne gets too many batted down.

This team is too risky for my health.
ONE MORE stop Fins. PLEASE.

[jrljr2]

one f'n first down. unbelievable!!!!!!

[Craig M]

I doubt any time soon Mr Kahn. His time in SF was pretty much a disaster.

[IMAWriter]

[IMAWriter]
