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.

NOOOOOO NEED TO PANIC DEFENSE PLAYING VERY WELL!!!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 19, 2010 at 03:03 PM
Henne is about to wipe that grin off of Favre's face.

CAN WE CHANGE COMMENTATORS
Posted by: Dolphins4Life73 | September 19, 2010 at 03:03 PM
As soon as it doesn't smell like roses out there, 80% of you become bitter old hags.
Show some support and cheer your team. It is not like you provide constructive criticism, so don't give me the koolaid crap...
ugh, I hate the way everyone turns on the team so quickly.
their only score came on a 1 yard drive... have some faith in our defense..
Posted by: LipsinToronto | September 19, 2010 at 03:03 PM

I think that the defense will bail us out of this one once again.
Posted by: FB | September 19, 2010 at 03:04 PM
henning is a moron. You don't put Ricky in on a goal line rush.
Moron. He may lose this game.
Hopefully, someone will have the balls to fire his ass.

This Offense has not moved the football at all since the first drive...NOT GOOD!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | September 19, 2010 at 03:04 PM
finish it off in the 4th! GO FINS!
Posted by: ms cuba | September 19, 2010 at 03:04 PM
come on Phins hold onto this thing. we can do it.

Unfortunately Dave, Football has 4 Quarters. prevent offense here we come
Posted by: brent1992 | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
have faith
Posted by: d-dense | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
Well ... Vikings get another TD here ... games all tied up ... and Miami has shown NOTHING in the way of being able to push the ball downfield except on the odd freak big play. Methinks we're in trouble unless the D comes through. Hell, if NOT for our D it would be a tie game already
Posted by: zaphod | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
Well said Lips, best comment all night!!!!
Posted by: Dolfan in Alberta | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
love this game. fins have played great up to now. how many of us really thought we'd be leading the whole game and into the fourth quarter. we have played great an with both linebackers out! I am very impressed
Posted by: finfan23 | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
Agreed with all the Henning hate, this playcalling is a joke. Why dont we just give the Vikes our offensive gameplan before the game and save some time.
C'mon Defense its all on you!!! I think were going to be saying that a lot this season!!
Posted by: Sonic420 | September 19, 2010 at 03:05 PM
IMO, THE PLAY CALLING HAS BEEN PRETTY DARN SOLID TODAY. GLAD SOME OF YOU ARENT OC'S.

Posted by: robbyhernz | September 19, 2010 at 03:08 PM
cant win consistently with a qb that only has 1 target on his mind...he's getting by on arm strength alone
Posted by: Big I | September 19, 2010 at 03:08 PM
Lets get that pick
Posted by: kris | September 19, 2010 at 03:08 PM
Let's hope Favre keeps treating Jason Allen like his favorite receiver.

... guess Mando figures it's a foregone conclusion now.
Posted by: zaphod | September 19, 2010 at 03:09 PM
Too conservative on offense. And Chad "The Robot" Henne strikes again.
When the play breaks down, he tucks the ball and essentially looks for a soft place to land. I guess they can't "program" him on what to do in those situations!
Posted by: Phins_Win | September 19, 2010 at 03:09 PM
that was terrible.
