It is a battle of field goals so far.
That's good for the Dolphins because the Texans have dominated this game so far. They drove inside Miami's 20-yard line twice in the first quarter.
They had a 40 yard punt return by Jacoby Jones.
And still they're only down, 6-3.
The live blog continues in the comments section below. Go there now.







so they had 3 chances and only attempted to go into the endzone once.....
so sad

Left handed FP. Ever try that?
Posted by: popncaps551 | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
this a total coaching debacle....why wait to fire sparano
Posted by: austin | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
Awful pass attempt on the run, awful block
Posted by: Tom | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
Blocked-why didn't Henne run it in
Posted by: David | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
What happens in the freakin redzone?

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, IT WAS AN EXTRA POINT!!!
Posted by: Earl | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
FAKE??
Posted by: NY "G" | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
FG blocked all he had to do was chip it up cmon man
Posted by: FinFan4life | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
JJ Watt ... ugh! They say he has a high motor, which means "athletic white guy"
Posted by: Jay-Mo | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
I was just thinking about something. Why don't NFL teams put a 7 foot basketball type player on the team just to block extra points?
Posted by: Los Lobos | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
Couldnt even get the fistpump. Im beyond explanations for this team. We always find new ways to suck!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 18, 2011 at 05:11 PM
and blocked =/
Posted by: Jimbo | September 18, 2011 at 05:12 PM
Interesting difference between Dolphins and Pats:
Last week when Vontae went out of the game, Brady went right after Carroll.
Now Joseph is out for Texans, Jason Allen is in, and the Dolphins don't go after him at all.
Drives me crazy!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 18, 2011 at 05:12 PM
Austin is right. Give team to OC. Fire tS and JI today
Posted by: popncaps551 | September 18, 2011 at 05:12 PM
how many games are we gonna win??? 3 games out of the lead already
Posted by: ctphins | September 18, 2011 at 05:12 PM
Special teams again - thought Henne could have ran it in

"Though we suck, we will suck together."

Posted by: Angry Elf | September 18, 2011 at 05:12 PM
Forget that he's Jason Allen and he's not good, he's a backup and therefore not as good as the starter.

Posted by: Kim Kardashian | September 18, 2011 at 05:13 PM
So if we lose do we keep Tony or fire him middle season
Posted by: oldenglish | September 18, 2011 at 05:13 PM
Miami does not want to win this game. When Carpenter gets a chip shot blocked you KNOW we're in trouble.
At least the defense got a little rest.
Posted by: zaphod | September 18, 2011 at 05:13 PM
Blew it. Chance to get in this game and make a statement. WTH?
Posted by: The real G | September 18, 2011 at 05:13 PM
Thomas is working-so they put in Johnson-Henne can walk in-but throws out of bounds-we need 15 yards so they run it-who are paying these guys and why?
Posted by: David | September 18, 2011 at 05:13 PM
Carpenter sucks

Are we on the clock yet. I think i can start house hunting in south florida
Posted by: Andrew Luck | September 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM
aight so were firing this regime and hiring either cowher or gruden to run the show and drafting andrew luck next year
Posted by: Jimbo | September 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM
Funny, these two teams are not that different.
Posted by: Los Lobos | September 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM
Will ALlen great tackle!
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM
They don't go after him because Sparano is so detail and game plan oriented that he has trouble deviating. He is an assistant coach at best. Has no clue how to adjust to situations in game. He's in over his head.
Posted by: LouD | September 18, 2011 at 05:15 PM
Kim I've seen the video you have no bush!!!
Posted by: grrreatdane | September 18, 2011 at 05:15 PM
Even in getting better we seem to get worse!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 18, 2011 at 05:15 PM
Armando
Who makes the play calls on offense?
Sparano or Daboll?
Cause this is the same crappy red zone offense we've seen for years even though there is a new OC.
Posted by: Boardwalk | September 18, 2011 at 05:16 PM
sooo glad allens back

HAHA...Boring video, but, I'd still beat it up!
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 05:17 PM
Daboll calls offense. Nolan calls defense.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 18, 2011 at 05:17 PM
Glad to see Will Allen back out there.
Posted by: Ithaca Phin Fan | September 18, 2011 at 05:17 PM
Every team in the AFC East will be 2-0, The fins will be 0-2

*counting money on the sideline*
Damn, this team sucks!
Posted by: Tony Sparano | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
Sparano has to line an extra olineman next to Columbo and the right side still sucks. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
and sparano makes the personnel decisions...
Posted by: austin | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
I miss Jim Jensen
Posted by: Jay-Mo | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
Is it me or do we get worse every game? We need Mike Shula as HC. Just look what he has done with Cam Newton as his QB Coach. This is really getting ridiculous. Fix the defense and offense suxx then fix offense and defense suxx what happens when both sux? 1-15 and cam camoron all over again. ouch omg!
Posted by: nj fins force | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
This game is giving me grey hairs.
Posted by: Sandoval | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
Sparano is getting the "O" Pumped up on the side line... So look for a Fist pumping moment.
Posted by: NY "G" | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
Something else ive noticed is receivers making tough catches all over the nfl this week. Why do our receivers always need perfect throws? Learn to f***ing catch a ball.
Posted by: LouD | September 18, 2011 at 05:18 PM
J Allen vs the beast...No brainer...Gates is fast and still got overthrown!
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 05:19 PM
Yeay! Pass interference offense ... leggo!
Posted by: Jay-Mo | September 18, 2011 at 05:19 PM
Definitely in over his head, but even the detail oriented criticism seems generous... seriously, he may just be focusing on completely irrelevant details because thats all he knows.
Posted by: Tom | September 18, 2011 at 05:19 PM
I think it's pretty obvious the Dolphins need points on this possession. And, really, they need a TD.
Posted by: The New Kid | September 18, 2011 at 05:19 PM
Closer than I thought...
Posted by: Marc | September 18, 2011 at 05:19 PM
