Bears lead Dolphins 16-0 to start fourth quarter

The Dolphins had a terribled third quarter.

They did nothing on offense and the defense yielded a touchdown drive that took part of this decade.

Oh, and Brandon Marshall is out of the game. He's on the sideline in street clothes.

Miami needs three scores to win this one, assuming they don't give up any more points.

It looks bleak but ...

Well, let's see what happens. The live blog rolls on.

Dan Henning...

Steady as she goes

[Toronto Ry]

first

[zaphod]

I was actually kidding when I stated before the game that Fields was going to have a busy game ...

[Fidel, tengo Coral Gables alborotao!]

No sirven, Mandy, no sirven.

[Richard3000]

man we're getting punched in the mouth again. I wonder how many miami fans have been lost this season?

[Jeff F., Long Island, NY]

Armando? How can you remain optimistic at this point?

[Denny]

Redsky you're right, Thigpen is the future at QB, the guy's money!

[Eric]

Armando what's wrong with your podcast? Hasn't been updated since Monday.

[Toronto Ry]

Henning, slow it down a little. Let's stop being aggressive and run the ball 3 in a row.

[superPHIN]

Bleak, it looks like Comedy central on offense!!!!!

[Sandoval]

This game is just awful

[Fidel, tengo Coral Gables alborotao!]

No sirven, Mandy, no sirven.

[zaphod]

I've switched to watching the game online ... my 8 year old boy is playing Bears vs. Dolphins on Madden so I'm watching that on the big screen instead ... at least the Dolphins are winning in fantasy land.

[Denny]

Mando the Dolphins can win with two scores and two 2 point conversions (which actually is more like 4 scores come to think of it)

[Richard3000]

I think we're detroit lions bad.

[Hurri]

No mas, Armando. No mas.

Miami fans don't deserve this.

[dolfanSF]

looks like the offense will be the focus of our 2011 draft. hopefully without Henning.

[Dman]

Good night guys. Dolphins season is done. Hope Ross decides to fire coaching staff. God I hate Parcells.

[superPHIN]

Well, just make sure ARMANDO that you dont go including me on that list Of thigpen the next brady spill*lol*

[Denny]

I'm done,,,,, later

[zaphod]

Armando can be upbeat because he is totally smashed right now ...

[Ripp]

What a pathetic game. Miami just as well have forfeited the game. Just a poor showing all around even for back ups.

[compcomplex]

The season is officially over, the Dolphins are done. Bring on the draft...

[not a dumb finfan]

hey man like totally man, like don't worry man were gonna be good next year, just wait, man were only a few players away, man.......and in training camp with shorts on there gonna look awesome man, and with Penny coaching the Qbs wow man.....yeah man and don't forget the 72 season, man wow man....

I know man, it's been like 50 years since we have done it man, but don' worry man were gonna learn from this man, totally, man and our draft is gonna be AWESOME, man.........

just wait til next year, man that's our year, man

[Utdolfan]

Wonder if it's too late to add another chapter to the Parcells special they keep advertising.

[Jay-Mo]

Remember when we were all excited after Miami beat Minnesota on the road. Man, that feels like two years ago!

[Richard3000]

Man I can't even put my finger on it, trying to figure out why we're so bad.. I just can't tell

[superPHIN]

Yea this game is pretty much mopp up time for bears, Get the 2nd and third stringers some work*****PHIN OUT!!!!

[rand_the_fin]

The Buffalo Bills played the Bears tougher then us. This front office has to go. Sick of it. We have nothing to show for the past three years of drafts, etc.

[zaphod]

Pretty soon it'll be just the crickets and Jets fans in here ... we're dropping off fast now.

[antonio maceo senior high school]

well, think of it this way. at least we don't play our games in a lifeless, antiseptic stadium.

[Toronto Ry]

tell the fat lady she's on in 15 mins. Season is DONE.

[Hurri]

Richard,

We don't have ONE player on offense the ilk of Calvin Johnson. Not one. The Lions are better than us, my dude.
They've looked better losing than we have winning, as of late.

[durks]

this is like watching a preseason game. Nobody on this team makes plays. im getting so tired of this team.

[Kris]

They did nothing on offense and the defense yielded a touchdown drive that took part of this decade.

VERY FUNNY ARMANDO....At least i can still smile

[Marc726]

Every time this team takes a beat down they just accept it.

[Fidel, tengo Coral Gables alborotao!]

"well, think of it this way. at least we don't play our games in a lifeless, antiseptic stadium."

I believe they call it Sun-Life stadium.

[Richard3000]

"Remember when we were all excited after Miami beat Minnesota on the road. Man, that feels like two years ago!"

right?? I think it was the NE when I stopped believing in the phins. Man we're a lost franchise right now. I'm going to try and not watch next game, try to get my self away from this

[not a dumb finfan]

will you MORONS who ALWAYS say how important DEPTH IS AND THINK you know when we have good depth or not.......

please read FOOTBALL for Dummies

[zaphod]

Cool ... our defense is totally wearing down the Bears offense ... they're so exhausted they can't run one more play without a timeout. Pretty good strategy ... must be an idea from that mastermind Dan Henning!

[Utdolfan]

It does feel like a preseason game.

[@Russell1286]

I actually feel bad for the Lions AND YES THE BILLS.... They score TDS and have a combined 3 wins

[Toronto Ry]

I'm starting to think Thigpen's record as a starter is 1 and 10 not because the Chiefs were so bad, but because Thiggy is bad.

[Fidel, tengo Coral Gables alborotao!]

How's that Gloria and Emilio-thingy working out for ya?

[@Russell1286]

MOSES STOP DANCING YOUR TEAM IS SUCKING RIGHT NOW

[Jimmy Jam]

Wow. No pass protection at all. Our OLine is done. Thus the Offense is done. Dan Marino couldn't do anything behind that line.

Grove back in Miami next week

[Jeff F., Long Island, NY]

What is Moses celebrating for? they're getting their @ss kicked.

[Hurri]

Durks said it.

No one on this team makes plays. And if they do accidently makes one, they aren't heard from again.

[Iceman]

All of sudden Henne is looking pretty good, isn't he Henne haters?

[Craig M]

I'd like some of you guys to explain how none of this is Thigpen's fault. We're down 16-0, we can't move the ball, Thigpen is taking sacks he doesn't need to and he's been picked off. Wasn't he supposed to have 'IT', supposed to spark the offence, supposed to be super accurate? Time to fess up guys, Thigpen is not and NEVER has been the starter that we need. Henne haters need to shut up now!!

[mike d]

Armando. Do these guys actually practice? Or what?

[WAKE!]

Yea thigpen's so bad,he has no time and has been sack a million times, yet it's his fault...sure

i nevercomment on here but u guys r just straight up retarded

[antonio maceo senior high school]

do you guys remember when dan marino had a perm and let it rip every other play, deep down the middle, touchdown?

my point: all future miami QBs need to visit Sami or Mirta de Perales during training camp.

And get a damn PERM.

[Richard3000]

i would like to see a new qb maybe?

[Thefish]

Is Ronnie brown still on the dolphins? The second best offensive player and he touches the ball once. Maybe the genius henning is trying to trick them...or maybe he so old his memory lapse made him forget Ronnie was on the team. Worst game plan I have ever seen

[@Russell1286]

HURRI your absolutely correct when they do something good they're benched or get injured or even get a penalty so they have their first down back at the original line of scrimmage

[Jeff F., Long Island, NY]

wow...there is zero pocket out there.

[Craig M]

seven possessions and SIX first downs....BRILLIANT!!.....and NONE of it is Thigpen's fault. The guy plays a million miles an hour and accomplishes nothing. It's not a surprise he's on his third organization.

[what_me]

and the wheels have come off............where is my fork?

[Utdolfan]

Thigpen should just roll out, then take off running every play. Best chance for positive yardage.
