The defense that yielded 516 passing yards last week is almost half-way there today, having given up 219 yards to Matt Schaub already.
The offense that struggled in the red zone last week, is at it again because three trips into the red zone have yidled only one field goal.
And the special teams that wasn't a worry last week is stinking today -- having missed one field goal, having had another blocked and having given up a 40-yard punt return.
No wonder the Dolphins are losing 16-3 as the team get ready for the start of the third quarter.
The live blog continues in the comments section of the third quarter post. Go there now, please.







Ha! Ricky did fumble today.

BTW its finally happened. Welker who was an everyman, has now been around primadonna Brady long enough that he doesnt think he should be touched off the line and is complaining to the refs whenever he gets chucked....too bad he was a good man

Posted by: Jebediah Gonzalez-Cohen | September 18, 2011 at 06:27 PM
Seriously guys. I'm not a football expert. Is there any reason at all to why would Nollan Carroll cover Johnson?
Posted by: MaCo | September 18, 2011 at 06:27 PM
Damn starting to like Henne!
Posted by: d-dense | September 18, 2011 at 06:28 PM

No reason at all Maco... Those are the mis-matches offensive coordinators brag about on Monday when watching film. Was Davis on the sidelines again?
