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.

Needed a TD there.
If the Texans answer Miami's FG with a TD, it's game over, season over.
This is a huge series for the defense.
Posted by: The New Kid | September 18, 2011 at 06:37 PM
field goals and lack thereof, aint gonna cut it
Posted by: tdeck | September 18, 2011 at 06:37 PM

more pink slips to be handed out tomorrow.
Posted by: dolphin 77 | September 18, 2011 at 06:44 PM
They need to get rid of Carrol. Even Sapp wasn't as bad as he is.
Posted by: Gorillas | September 18, 2011 at 06:44 PM
first sapp.....nolan will be gone tomorrow
Posted by: tdeck | September 18, 2011 at 06:44 PM

Reggie Bush needs to earn his money as a returner. Gates has no clue.
Posted by: CanesRUS | September 18, 2011 at 06:46 PM
vontae.....quit being a wussy
Posted by: tdeck | September 18, 2011 at 06:46 PM
no doubt ross announces sparano is fired on monday, if not sooner. this team is pathetic. once again, take it down the field only to get 3 pts. then texans take it in for 7. the defense sucks. the offense sucks. i have to agree with the camp that says sparano has to go. it's a complete and total lack of coaching ability.
Posted by: dm1dolphan | September 18, 2011 at 06:46 PM
Hah!, you thought you got me, but I'm still cooking those pork chunks.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 18, 2011 at 06:47 PM
Henne is doing good, but we need great.
Posted by: alaindelon | September 18, 2011 at 06:47 PM
Why is Nolan Carroll even covering Andre Johnson? Why not Will Allen or Sean Smith? Nolan Carroll is the worst cornerback on our team and he's sticking Andre Johnson?
Posted by: bigtrav1 | September 18, 2011 at 06:47 PM
I don't care what anyone says. Even if we lose. This is a good team and will win at least 9 games. The pats and texans are two of the best in the afc.
Posted by: Jaison | September 18, 2011 at 06:47 PM
Henne's audition for next year is now!!!

soprano has no clue!!!!
Posted by: alaindelon | September 18, 2011 at 06:51 PM
The decision to go for it was the correct one.Dansby, Vontae out) The fact that they didn't do it was wrong.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 18, 2011 at 06:53 PM
Embarrassing.
Posted by: CanesRUS | September 18, 2011 at 06:53 PM
grind out the clock. game over.
Posted by: dolphin 77 | September 18, 2011 at 06:54 PM
Dolphins Layyyying down now
Posted by: alaindelon | September 18, 2011 at 06:54 PM
This team will quit on Sparano very soon, if they haven't already.
Posted by: CanesRUS | September 18, 2011 at 06:54 PM
let's see if ross has balls as big as his nose is to fire morono.
Posted by: dolphin 77 | September 18, 2011 at 06:55 PM
Nolan Carroll, gave up that play to Andre Johnson and that is what probably killed this game.
Posted by: bigtrav1 | September 18, 2011 at 06:57 PM
Nolan Carroll expected help over the top. Reshad Jones should have been there.
Posted by: CanesRUS | September 18, 2011 at 06:59 PM
last chance clutch Henne
Posted by: alaindelon | September 18, 2011 at 07:00 PM
The o-line play is the biggest reason why I want Sparano GONE!
Posted by: CanesRUS | September 18, 2011 at 07:01 PM
You use Bush by throwing to him in open field from out of the backfield to create, not run him! This entire organization is friggin joke. Henne is entirely too inconsistent. This team underachieves because of very inferior coaching. We are going nowhere with these tools. PATHETIC
Posted by: ccherald2 | September 18, 2011 at 07:02 PM
5 minutes off the clock!! Sure glad we didn't go fOr it Sparano please quit because you're a gutless terd and have no business coaching nor do you have the respect of anyone in the sport. You are a huge reason why we suck.
Posted by: Ziggy | September 18, 2011 at 07:02 PM
I simply can't believe this!!!
Posted by: TONY'S CLIP BOARD | September 18, 2011 at 07:02 PM
but he is an o line genious! maybe he needs 1 more year to get a o line together.
Posted by: dolphin 77 | September 18, 2011 at 07:02 PM
The 'Phins coaching staff is incompetent. Nolan Carroll, on Andre Johnson? This is why Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano will not be here after this season.
Posted by: bigtrav1 | September 18, 2011 at 07:03 PM
put a fork in them. i'm done for the season. it's obvious this season will be a complete and total loss.
Posted by: dm1dolphan | September 18, 2011 at 07:03 PM
This is so disheartening... :(
Posted by: TONY'S CLIP BOARD | September 18, 2011 at 07:04 PM
When do the Dolphins fire Sparano?
Record 0-2
Can't will at home.
Posted by: tkr | September 18, 2011 at 07:04 PM
Mando are u still there or did u leave with everyone else after Johnsons's Td?
Posted by: Ziggy | September 18, 2011 at 07:05 PM
Is Mr. Ross going to subject us to this suffering for the rest of this Season?
