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.

You did Dying, I remember. Nice prediction (if it wasn't as deflating).

[victor]

Man do all you guys out there long for the Shula and Marino days ? i cant belive the crap ive seen the past 10 years...It was fun watching the dolphins in the 80's...

[The Seer]

The blame for the O-Line blowing falls squarely on the Ball Boy, Fist Pump & The Quitter.

They have UTTERLY FAILED over 3yrs & Millions of $$$ to even build up Fist Pump's "pet" unit.

[jlwesq]

trestman is a has been that couldnt get a job in this country but u want him as oc. maybe we should search fir a dc in the turkish league

[zonk-39]

Call Jake Grove and Donald Thomas Back TOMORROW

[Angry Elf]

Can Parcell's be sued? Class action? I' m in.

[DyingBreed]

Ross should fire Ireland and Henning right after game. It's delusional to think anything else from this season can be salvaged!

[Earl]

NFL, PLEASE DONT PUT US ON ANY PRIME TIME GAMES, THIS IS EMBARRASSING

[Kris]

DC....its always good to know there are a few other level headed fans out there

[austin]

its interesting that the offensive line gets addressed every offseason, and it is still terrible. sure, there have been injuries, but they can't run the ball when healthy. isn't sporano an offensive line coach? by the way, why did they hire him anyway?

[arpas1]

i am not going to any dolphin game until the owner shed the bucks and put a decent team out there for me to go see :(

[zaphod]

Jon: We DEFINITELY can fire Sparano after this season ... especially if Cowher or Gruden become available.

[Jimmy Jam]

Craig - You'll give Henne two years and next year to improve but Thigpen, who has only started for one full year and a couple of games when you add it up, you'll not give any more time? So, Thiggy isn't the answer but Henne is? Please. The guy stinks. The only thing I'll give him is that Henning is a turd and has coached the kid scared and NEVER lets him loose. If I could only see the guy play a game where he is allowed to show what he's got. Unfortunately, I think what we've seen is what we get. We'll never know, though. This coaching staff is gone and Henne is probably gone with them because neither Gruden nor Cowher will want him (assuming Ross goes with a celebrity coach).

I'll give Thigpen more games before I judge him. To do so on this game with no O-line isn't fair. Of course, if we go on with no O-line, I guess it doesn't matter 'cause we're going down hard.

LONG LANK i appreciate that post i watched all of those games as well and i saw a team out there playing 60 minutes of football and we lost so many of those by less than a TD.... but our offense now is just a bunch of empty bodies.... we've got the components but what does any of it mean if you dont have the coaches to put it all together.... Look at Dallas and Minnesota... Two of the most loaded rosters in the league but bad coaching cant put the pieces together

[nhad]

I wish this team were good enough to be mired in mediocrity.

[DC Dolfan]

victor, no I don't. Why long for what you can't have? I WISH the team would find the right combination of coaches and personnel to win more than 1/2 their games consistently.

[qbclub13]

i think we have an owner that will be in the mix this next offseason to help pick players to atleast win a few home games

[jlwesq]

i agree to clean house ut wont happen but it should

[ALoco]

MARSHALL SAID,,,,,(( WE WILL GO TO THE PLAYOFFS ,I GUARANTY IT ))

GIVE HENNE SOME OF YOUR MONRY MARSHALL.

[Po White Trash]

F*ck Bill Parcells..

[payuengsnwings]

That would be the jacksonville playoff game

[VA Fin Fan]

Dont worry, next season Miami will gets its 1 mandatory prime time game. Nobody wants to watch tthis crap.

[The Seer]

@DB--

Right Effing On!

Act now and get a jump start on the next rebuild.

And will any "sports journalist" ask St. Tuna how and why he failed so utterly in Dallas & esp. here in Miami? Nah.

[OtherJamieLuck]

He'll be somewhere in the NFL next year jl. He will win another Grey Cup and get a job.

[Angry Elf]

I guess they don't teach get out of bounds in football school anymore.

[Po White Trash]

Right Loco........

[Ceed]

Just curious, why Moore over Wallace this week? Better on special teams?

[@Russell1286]

RICHARD NO ITS NOT IT WAS LIKE BETWEEN 2000 AND 03 WE LOST IN THE PLAYOFFS TO THE RADIERS LIKE 63 TO 7 OR SOMETHING RIDICULOUS

[DyingBreed]

Playing for fist pump now!!!

[The Seer]

Tuna & Ireland puked all over us and this franchise.

[Scooter]

WSCR in Chicago are laughing at Miami. Joke of the NFL.Agreed.

[qbclub13]

dude even an arm chair coach can see Henne has way more talent than henne

[jlwesq]

jamie not achance

[Angry Elf]

Sparano has regressed.

[austin]

is it really that difficult to draft a good player? it was clear to the ``untrained eye" that dez bryant is a beast. misi, odrick, are you kidding me? i mean, these guys are really over analyzing things.

[zaphod]

Wow ... Miami may not win another game this year. Amazing.

[Cam Cameron]

This could've all been avoided if we hadn't traded Ted Ginn, Jr. and his family.

[qbclub13]

thiggy

[no point in dreaming]

Whats that stench??? Oh, its the fins.

[Kris]

Dont worry, next season Miami will gets its 1 mandatory prime time game. Nobody wants to watch tthis crap.

Lets hope so VA...we need our 1PM homefield heat advantage....as you can see our room for error is very small

[Mama Henne]

I am embarassed and Ross should refund my ticket price for the team he puts out there. I am done.

[jlwesq]

we have 4 ol playing that we picked up as unwanted free agenrs

[Po White Trash]

7 and 9 if we are lucky.

Lets lose so we ca pick another DL in the 1st round.

[ALoco]

TUNA DIDN'T FAIL,THE TEAM HAS FAILD .

WHAT CHAD.P IS DOING ON THE SIDE LINE ?

[payuengsnwings]

thigpen sucks

[Angry Elf]

I heard the sideline reporter say Thigpen was not given a copy of the playbook till 30 minutes before the game.

[OtherJamieLuck]

Trestman better than Henning...at least more current. The CFL is a pass first league. We don't have running backs so we might as well be a passing team.

[DC Dolfan]

Not looking forward to Sparano talking about a "short" week. Excuses don't lead to victories. You can have 1/2 your starters on stretchers and think you can beat anyone.

[jamesc]

ready for henne?

[The Seer]

But Dez's mother had a sordid past, so the Ball Bot decided a known head-case like BM was worth more than a 'project' like Dez--who might have showed up late for a meeting! (tho everyone who looked into it sia dhe was a good kid)

[DyingBreed]

NOT EVEN A FIST PUMP TONIGHT GUYS!!!

[Po White Trash]

Shame............

[qbclub13]

tuna failed hard and left

[austin]

marshall made a ``business decision" by leaving the game. that effectively ended any change to win.

[jlwesq]

jamie we have no ol doesnt matter who runs ball or throws it

[Toronto Ry]

Where in Canada are you from JamieLuck? Go Argos.

[Buffalo Bill]

Worst 5-5 team in the N.F.L.

[Scooter]

Soooo emBEARASSING. Screw this mess.

[Earl]

At the beginning of the year, the second half of our schedule looked easy, now it looks like we'll lose every game. we've regressed to the 1-15 level of talent.

[Po White Trash]

Shame.............
