Dolphins lead Steelers 6-0 to start second quarter

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.

WE HAVE NO EXPLOSION IN OUR OFFENSE. EVERYTHING IS A LONG DRIVE.

[Jimmy Jam]

Nice catch by Hartline. Doesn't make up for the bobble though. Nice protection too

[TorturedDolphan]

Dont be frustrated. Your team sucks. You can't do anything about it. They have no place playing with the likes of the Steelers.

[dave]

nice protection. and when they blitz we need some hot routes to counter that.

[The New Kid]

Henne has been really good this season at picking up 3rd and long. There is plenty to criticize about him, but he's been good in those situations.

[LeGrand]

@Elf---yeah, but his Bowling Team buddies ARE the Front Office

[heepman]

we're playing v weak

[stonecld33]

drivin for a fg

[superPHIN]

even when it looks good , it isnt.

[Jay-Mo]

What's the deal with the head fakes on these short bubble screens? Just run (Hartline)!

[Marc]

Someone predicted a big game for Hartline

[Richard3000]

I honestly don't think I'm being negative, I lost faith in this team during the NE game. I'm just watching to see the development of this team, but I was expecting this

[stonecld33]

how many time are rb gona get triped

[nyfinfan]

I sense a fielddddddddd goalllll coming

[LeGrand]

Set up the hashmark, Coach FistPump!!

[DyingBreed]

NO EXPLOSION AND HENNE'S INABILITY TO THROW THE FADE IN THE ENDZONE ARE THE TOP 2 REASONS WE SETTLE FOR SO MANY FIELD GOALS!

[superPHIN]

FG time, FIST PUMP TIME PPL!!!!

[jlwesq]

wow foward pass who knew

[test]

no FG no FG no FG no FG no FG

[Angry Elf]

LeGrand--ROFL.

[Jimmy Jam]

Bess!

In field goal range. Might as well kick it now

[dave]

give henne some credit hes moving the chains

[scottpez]

we can throw with this team!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!

[TorturedDolphan]

Teams must circle their games in Miami.

Basically a bye week and a vacation. Kind of like going to the pro bowl. Bring the family along, get some sun, play a couple of quarters and put your scrubs in for the second half.

Great vacation for the fans too.

LMFAO.

[John Oregon Dolphin fan]

Passing on 1st down.

[Marc]

Bess showing why he got paid

[mobiljorge]

need 7!

[fansince72]

We're in FG range!!!!

[nyfinfan]

incognito and mcquistan stink, and for someone whose name is incognito, he sure as heck gets noticed a lot, and not for anything good

[Marc]

Wallace caught a pass

[Vince Moss]

Miami's runningbacks are dropping with the slightest touch from the Steelers defenders. Coaching staff has given up on the game already, which was illustrated by the replacement of Carroll with Cobbs at KR. Awesome idea guys, let's put the slowest guy on our offense out at kick returner. And I loved the screen to Hartline. Even if Farrior and Woodley weren't there, Polamalu has more than enough speed to stop that screen pass. Henning must have forgotten that we weren't playing the Bills again.

[Jay-Mo]

(Emphatic golf clap) ... Come guys, field goal here, come on guys, good job!

[Angry Elf]

Just saw Sparano flexing his fist--field goal coming.

[Armando Salguero]

The Bills are beating the Ravens 24-10. hahahahahaha.

[superPHIN]

hey, we have a wallace too except ours is no where near AS GOOD.

[DyingBreed]

I HATE OUR SLOWASS OFFENSE. WE HAVE ZERO LIGHTNING. BEEN BLOGGING ABOUT THIS ALL WEEK!!!

[standley23]

henne is getting the time, The wideouts need to keep working hard to get open.

[test]

get ready for the field goal fist pump

[Marc]

I thought Marlon Moore was a bit more refined than Wallace. THought Wallace was the "project".

[dave]

keep the passing going and the run will open up some. we need a score then come out after halftime and have a nice long drive for another score.

[LeGrand]

And judging by the highlights, Mando, they actually threw deep once or twice....and completed it!?!?!

[twitter.com/akguy]

Its Carpenter time!

[mobiljorge]

Need explain to coach TD counts for 7 and he can celebrate as a FG

[fansince72]

This has to be a TD drive.

[grfdolphin]

when we score, do we go for two?

[nyfinfan]

@Vince, I agree with you about the slightest touch and fall, but Carrol looked like he got hurt on the last return he took he walked off holding sides (ribs) which is why Cobbs was in

[DyingBreed]

ARMANDO,

FLACCO HAS SEEMED TO BE REGRESSING THE LAST FEW WEEKS. HENNE CURRENTLY RANKED HIGHER AMONGST NFL QB'S.

[IMAWriter]

Big holes by O-Line, but Ricky too slow getting there. Are our backs playing too deep?
Can't figure it out.
Once through the d-line, no moves, just straight into a a defensive players grip.
Our line deserves better. $-5 years great, sure, but we can NEVER seem to break a big one in a game like this. At this point, not trusting our KO coverage, if we're 4th and goal, we had BETTER go for it.

[The New Kid]

This is a nice answering drive by the offense. A TD with no time left would be big.

[fansince72]

Bess MVP!

[dquezada559]

And, a TD!!! fist pumps!!!!

[mobiljorge]

too early we go for 1

[standley23]

just like that!

[Jimmy Jam]

[nyfinfan]

[Armando Salguero]

Bess plays with such incredible desire and heart. Inspiring.

[Angry Elf]
