The Dolphins got the ball inside the 20 yard line after recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff. They kicked a field goal.
Then they recovered a Ben Roethlisberger fumble inside the 20. They kicked a field goal.
Not once did Miami throw the ball in the end zone after the turnovers.
The Dolphins lead 6-0 but it is a tenuous lead. Let's see what happens as the live blog continues in the comments section.







sack or int watch

Oh sweet! Lineman down! Lineman down! Cam Wake...Get it done!
Posted by: Marc | October 24, 2010 at 01:49 PM
LOL @ superPhin, hand it off!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | October 24, 2010 at 01:49 PM
Well, that pass to Hartline was what they were referring to when they said the QB sets up the receivers for big hits. In the flat, and it lofted...He was bound to get blown up
Posted by: Marc | October 24, 2010 at 01:50 PM
i dont blame anybody in that stadium for being less excited, miami hasn't done anything worth being excited about. And here comes third and long....o boy!!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | October 24, 2010 at 01:50 PM
im tired of every week miami getting breaks and momentum and just blowing it. no killer instinct. i think thats the thing they need to get to the next level. once they have that they will be blowing people out. cause they always let teams hang around until its too late.

Posted by: jamesc | October 24, 2010 at 01:50 PM
Armando's right, sounds if more Steelers fans than Dolphin fans here.
Posted by: DyingBreed | October 24, 2010 at 01:50 PM
almost a good play.
Posted by: twitter.com/akguy | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM

Posted by: Ryan | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Don't blitz, Ben will kill you.
Posted by: Angry Elf | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM

Posted by: dave | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Nice tackling. Gah!
Posted by: Jimmy Jam | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM

Posted by: twitter.com/akguy | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM

Posted by: superPHIN | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Thats two big misses by SAPP....TWO
Posted by: mike w | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
LOL and that my friends is what "GOOD" teams do. Miami not there...Yet.
Posted by: /Facepalm | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
WHY IS SAPP ON THIS TEAM?
Posted by: Kris | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Sapp and then Clemmons both missed
Posted by: Marc | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Awesome.
Posted by: Hurri' | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Sapp is a scrub! cant believe we traded camarillo for this clown!
Posted by: coach | October 24, 2010 at 01:51 PM
Benny Sapp missed the tackle on Hines Ward.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Sapp sucks ass
Posted by: beerndrums | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
decent link?
Posted by: fin fan buck | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Henne made a really poor throw to Hartline, too. High and behind him. The QB set the WR up to take a big hit. It doesn't excuse the fumble, but it was lousy execution by Henne.
And... as I type that, the Dolphins surrender a TD with a missed tackle by Bennie Sapp, who shouldn't even be on the team, much less the field.
This is going to be a blowout.
Posted by: The New Kid | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Sapp for Camarillo. Great trade. Should've been Hartline.
Posted by: Jimmy Jam | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Sapp-Clemons-missed-only 4 points down-now let's score!
Posted by: David | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
there goes our 3rd down average. so frustrating.
Posted by: dave | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
really glad we traded camarillo for benny sapp
Posted by: Siefer Kutherland | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Nice coverage and tackle...not.
Sheesh, we're playing like we're petrified.
Not good. Lets hope we can shake this off. I think we can score on Pitt, but it will have to be Marshall, Marshall, and MORE Marshall.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Sapp wiffs, Clemons wiffs, TD! PATHETIC!!!
Posted by: DyingBreed | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Again. We just aren't that good
Posted by: Marc | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
That's the difference between the Dolphins and Steelers right now:
Dolphins get turnovers, they kick field goals.
Steelers get a turnover, they score a TD.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 24, 2010 at 01:52 PM
Sapp for Camarillo, what a trade!
Posted by: fansince72 | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
One team trusts their QB to throw the ball the other does not.
Posted by: John Oregon Dolphin fan | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
put wallace opposite marshall. lets see what he can do with some extended time. we need this win
Posted by: dave | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
bennie sap is a bum
Posted by: lacesoutdan | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
thats it for me. maybe next week. Time to go enjoy the sunshine.
Posted by: dan cunningham | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
sapp missed 2...
what a bad trade...
this front office sucks
Posted by: test | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
Ok, get Marshall involved and figure out how to get our run game going!
Posted by: coach | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
David - How do you propose we score? Can't even move the ball...
Posted by: Jimmy Jam | October 24, 2010 at 01:53 PM
Other differences: better play calling, better tackling, better QB play
Posted by: grfdolphin | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
we look so lethargic
Posted by: dave | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
What is the problem with 3rd and long today on defense?
Posted by: Ryan | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
greg camarrilo >>>>> hartline
any of us >>>> smith+sapp+henning
Posted by: test | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
WE HAD BETTER STOP LPAYING SCARED
Posted by: Kris | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
26 yards on O! Horrible.
Posted by: coach | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
12 plays 26 yards-one 1st down
Posted by: David | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
Pittsburgh is clearly a better, more physical, more talented team.
Miami is the epitome of average.
Posted by: The New Kid | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
Miami Offense
12 plays
26 yards
1 first down
not gonna cut it
Posted by: mike w | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
Speaking of trade, what would Sparano fetch on the market. Yeh, I guess we are stuck with ole Coach Fistpump.
Posted by: Angry Elf | October 24, 2010 at 01:54 PM
Pittsburgh = Super Bowl favorites. Dolphins = 3rd place in division favorites. Time to be realistic in what is going to happen in this game.
Posted by: Siefer Kutherland | October 24, 2010 at 01:55 PM
Special teams gets a TO, defense gets a TO and we're still losing?
Posted by: MOther | October 24, 2010 at 01:55 PM
At least they have uplifting music in the stadium "I got the magic in me"
Posted by: Marc | October 24, 2010 at 01:55 PM
This is embarassing, when you can't win at home. The only defense that wil be tired in the 4th quarter will be the Dolphins, Steelers will be tired alright, of seeing the steelers offense run all over us. Pathetic.
Posted by: Shadow Templar | October 24, 2010 at 01:55 PM
CLEMONS WHIFFED ON THE TACKLE TOO PEOPLE!!!
