Steelers lead Dolphins 17-16 going to third quarter

The Dolphins were kicking field goals in the first quarter.

The Steelers scored touchdowns in the second quarter.

Luckily for Miami, Davone Bess got past the goal line on a 26 yard play that showed his heart, will and determination.

So while the Dolphins trail 17-16, it could certainly be a lot worse.

THE LIVE BLOG CONTINUES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER POST. GO THERE NOW PLEASE.

[Jay-Mo]

I'm starting to think Ricky Williams is a more capable running back than Ronnie Brown, even though he runs as if he's on ice.

[Armando Salguero]

gO TO THE FOURTH QUARTER POST FOR THE LIVE BLOG CONTINUATION.

[CJ]

Marc,

if by douch3 you mean i call you out on your bulls hit, then yes, i am...

[IMAWriter]

Finally a hold. They've been holding Wake and Misi all day

[Vince Moss]

Hey someone mentioned Wake being quiet-- he has forced two holding penalties so far and GREAT RETURN BESS!

[steelgrizzly]

need a long ball for marshal

[Jay-Mo]

Man, I wish Miami had a threatening punt returner!

[fansince72]

Right now is the time.....use the heat, wear down the defense and impose our will.

[The New Kid]

Good field position here. We have a chance to take the lead.

[steelgrizzly]

wake should have a half sack on that fumble to i think

[Utdolfan]

Our chance to take a lead.

[IMAWriter]

Nice return by Bess. He's having an all pro type game pretty much.

Do we dare trying pounding these guys?
What a role reversal for the steelers THAT would be.
They've mad a living for years (before Ben) of doing that to everyone else.

[The New Kid]

Lame call, lame effort on 3rd and a foot. Whatever happened to the QB sneak in situations like that?

With the punt, the team really has very little room for error now. The defense has to stand up.

[doughboy]

why is ronnie running on 3 and 1 when ricky is the power back???

[steelgrizzly]

dont like it they know we are gping to try and run it play action would have been nice there even if we didnt get it

[ms cuba]

Big play D! come on!!!

[ricky brown]

What a piss poor call on third down u have to QB sneak that!!

[The New Kid]

I reeeeaaaallllly question rushing 3 and dropping Wake into coverage on 3rd and 9.

Let your best players do what they do best.

[steelgrizzly]

TD rihht here

[brett144]

[Drew]

cannot believe we just played for a fg ? WTF is this sh*t?

[hennething]

[David]

He's a kicking fool!!!
Terrible play calling-but we're ahead-defense-take the ball away and score!

[steelgrizzly]

iknow we have not won yet but could we win one by over 10 points this season plz!!!

[Drew]

Another game lost because of terrible play calling and a defense that wilts when its needed.

[Drew]

As I said

[gcfan79]

thank you lex!

[Drew]

terrible terrible terrible

[MattD]

we deserve to lose - can't play for FG's in the NFL. Shame on you Saprano - this one is on you.

[Drew]

I concur Matt

[fansince72]

Special teams costing us again.

[MattD]

shame on you Sparano - this loss is on you big boy. Can't play for FG's in the NFL. Heck, he acted like we won the Super Bowl when we kicked the FG - ridiculous!

[Richard3000]

this is where henne stinks

[#1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal]

I have been watching football for over 30 years, canadian and american...I have never, EVER seen such crappy play by special teams in my life. These players are CLEARLY NOT the answer. Hilliard, Cobbs, etc... They suck!

[Drew]

They stopped playing once they got to the 20. Like they were just going to kick it anyway.

[Drew]

Was sitting here and called a QB sneak just by looking at the D set up

[Drew]

Hey Mando its a good thing those LB are jelling or we Pitts would be in trouble. HAHAHA

Again when you need a stop the D wilted like the heartless punks they are.

[Richard3000]

third game in a row where they QB sneak it on us??

[Drew]

TD Pitt sorry Dan

[Drew]

ughhhh

[Drew]

Henning fakin them out with a run smart.

[Drew]

Can we please play Thigpen now ? Henne holds it to long and looks scared like a litle girl even when there is a pocket.

[vivasicily]

It sounds like there were more Steelers fans than Miami. Great fan base. Think that the public should put up money for the stadium for this crappy team? At least the Marlins have won a few championships!!

[Czonka's hemmorhoid]

Wow, officials don't even have the bals to right a bad int call at the end. So shadey

[Drew]

this loss is on Sparano and Henning all the way. Should have been up 14-0 after the 1st quater and playing for a FG with 5 mins to go was just plan stupid. I cannot believe this crap.
