Well, at least Brandon Marshall didn't get tossed from the game in the second quarter.
Other than that, it's a bad night so far for the Dolphins. Yes, they've actually outgained the Jets 215 yards to 100 yards. But Matt Moore's interception to Darrelle Revis, which he returned 100 yards tips the scales toward New York.
The Dolphins offense is terrible on third down -- 0-for-6.
The defense just gave up an 80-yard drive to the Jets prior to halftime.
This is not good, as you might guess.

Did that last drive really just happen?
Posted by: Jebediah Gonzalez-Cohen | October 17, 2011 at 09:59 PM
Hey
Are Hartline, Bess, Wallace or Moore even playing????
Does EVERY pass have to go to bumble hands Marshall?

pathetic coaching from Sparano
Posted by: Serpico Jones | October 17, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Sparano couldn't coach a high school team. It is beyond pathetic.
Posted by: Jebediah Gonzalez-Cohen | October 17, 2011 at 10:01 PM
This Team Deserves To Lose , I Was Rooting For My Dolphins Today But After Seen The Play Calling , Oh Man
Posted by: (Yeah,Suck For Luck) | October 17, 2011 at 10:01 PM
This coaching staff keeps repeating mistakes! That's a problem!
Posted by: redsky | October 17, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Sparano just bent over on national television. dude has no heart.
Posted by: another year wasted | October 17, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Man we suck. Just fire everyone please.
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:02 PM
Where's Sal Alosi? Maybe he can trip Sparano and knock him out of the game!
Posted by: dbmfins | October 17, 2011 at 10:03 PM
Just when you think you've hit rock bottom...someone throws you a shoval
Posted by: SoiledBottom | October 17, 2011 at 10:03 PM
I honestly believe after that halffime quit CLAP by sparano he is tired of coaching the dolphins and is looking forward to getting out i mean that was just to LOSERISH even for him!!!!
Posted by: storm shadow | October 17, 2011 at 10:03 PM
WTF was that before halftime? Sporano is so bad he should be fired at halftime. At least act like you want to win a game and just not lose it.
Posted by: James | October 17, 2011 at 10:03 PM
Honest to god, I see sparano getting fired after this game. A full bye week and that is what the Fins come up with?
Posted by: Toronto Ry | October 17, 2011 at 10:04 PM
Igor Olshansky is the only one keeping us in this game.
Posted by: PriceMaster | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
This franchise should just fold. Hell, even under Marino we couldn't win a SB.
Posted by: Dolphins Suck | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
This season is worst than the 2007 season can we please trade Brandon Marshall!
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Marshall is by far a drag on this team. They clearly are trying to force him the ball, only problem is he cant catch it. Oce again we are an embarassment on national tv.
Posted by: todd neal | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Armando - Given what we're seeing tonight, it's tough not to think that it's at least possible that everyone - even those who should be fighting for their job - is thinking about the next year. Any whispers on any of our bigger name players being put on the block?
Posted by: DC_FinFan | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Mr.Ross, we need Bill Cowher. Let him choose the GM and let's make the Dolphins a contender again.
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 17, 2011 at 10:05 PM
Dan Henning has to be laughing, with him we won some games.....I'm not sold on Daboll, he can go with TS and JI. Might as well lose out.....season is done!
Posted by: redsky | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Was anyone expecting any MORE from this team? There's a reason we're 0-4. And you have a backup in there.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
The SUCK for LUCK thing is stupid, and real fans would never want their team to lose. However, for those who believe in it, your number one supporter seems to be our stupid head coach. He is doing his best to TRY to lose this game. We are NOT this bad. The coaching is horrible. Bush is better running to the outside, and on screens. Of course we run him between the tackles. Why isn't Thomas getting more carries? Marshall, shut your trap, and learn A. How to catch and B. How to not run out of bounds. You have cost us two freaking TD's. No heart.
Posted by: john | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
It is odd that down by 8 with a timeout and over a minute on the clock we make no effort to move the football. Great reasoning in 1975. Guess TS wanted to hustle into the locker room to make those killer 2nd half adjustments.
Posted by: Chris in the 623 | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
How many fumbles do we have? 3?
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
You would think with 1:10 left on the clock Sparano would want to get in position to do what he loves to do... Kick another field goal. This team is completely disheartening.
Posted by: Bonez | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
With his job on the line Sporano goes into the half like that against the jets on national tv??? Plus we are winless. Sporano doesn't really want this job anymore. Ross should fire him.
Posted by: V | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
We are 0 and 4 so we kick field goals and mail it in with 1:15 left in the half....
Posted by: SFL | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Pretty bad when Jaws & Chucky question the coaches heart at not even trying to score before half.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Armando,
Once again you are drinking while working. The Dolphins did in fact convert one third down possession in the first half but I am sure you pouring another shot when it happened.
Blatant pass interference penalty on Revis for the pick six. As much as it pains me to say, S4L should be the course for the rest of the season.
Regards,

Any of you guys want spaghetti?
Posted by: Tony Fumblano | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
well i dont know which is worse, having no heart or no brain. but i do know sparano has neither.
Posted by: another year wasted | October 17, 2011 at 10:06 PM
BIG QUESTION-let'say colts and fins finish 0-16 who get's 1st pick
Posted by: Mr Mojo RISIN | October 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM
Marc Columbos doing his part. And Fasano finally got his hands on the ball in the first half...when he picked up that fumble (or was it a dead ball?)
Posted by: PriceMaster | October 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM
I can see us running the table from here, get in on a Wild Card.
Posted by: Mr.Bing | October 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM
Gates sucks as a returner
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM
Remove the shoval from Coach Sparano's hands
Posted by: SoiledBottom | October 17, 2011 at 10:07 PM
Fasano. Hey, there IS another receiver besides Marshall.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | October 17, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Tony....you're 0-4, at this point you can't afford to not try to score every time you have the ball! Run out the clock for halftime? Pathetic! He needs to go. He's already given up.
Posted by: keyrat69 | October 17, 2011 at 10:08 PM
redsky, that's a good point. Everyone was blaming Henning for Miami's struggles on offense. Who do you blame now? Henning?
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 17, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Gates can't even break a tackle.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 17, 2011 at 10:08 PM
a screen to fasano SUCCESSFUL but (scratching my head)
Posted by: storm shadow | October 17, 2011 at 10:08 PM
First and goal from the 4 yard line, field goal for the Fins, Same freaking crap, year after year after year. Just terrible!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Jim | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Another drop. Clay.
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
I have heard we would lose the tie breaker with either the Colts, Rams or Broncos due to our strength of schedule in case of a tie.
Posted by: Chris in the 623 | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Another drop
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Oopsy a drop & it's not Marshall.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
just hit clay in a bad spot
Posted by: vt follett | October 17, 2011 at 10:09 PM
Were there two skillets on the end of Clays arms?

WHY THE DOLPHINS LOSE......."YOU GOTTA MAKE TAT CATCH"
Posted by: nate | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
wow nice spin!
Posted by: another year wasted | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
into the 3rd qauter and still Its amaizing that no one has even put a hand on Moore yet. if they passed blocked like this for Henne we would have our franchise QB and we would be 3-1 right now.
Posted by: g | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
What a bad call a run on 3rd and 10? lol
Posted by: DKM | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Thomas is a keeper.
Posted by: dbmfins | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
bright spot
Posted by: vt follett | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Dolphins have not converted a damn 3rd down either.... Sick...
Posted by: john | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Los Angeles Dolphins...not too far away before you hear that Stephen Ross is not happy that he is only selling 50% of his stadium (doesn't understand why the fans are not happy with a 0-5 team) and is considering a move to Los Angeles...
Posted by: John007 | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Nice run. Let go fins!!!!
Posted by: VENOM | October 17, 2011 at 10:10 PM
