FOXBORO, Mass. -- One quarterback completed a 30-plus yard pass down the sideline. The other QB has started the game 2-fo-9. One quarterback has moved his team. The other QB seems frustrated and troubled by the opposing pressure.
Yes, Tom Brady is struggling and Matt Moore is doing quite well.
Just like everyone expected, right?
Well, obviously not. The Miami defense has blitzed on numerous occasions and gotten good pressure on Brady. That's why New England hasn't moved the ball.
Miami leads 3-0 on a 47-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter.
Will it last?
The live blog continues in the comments section so the answer awaits.
Soiled, wipe up and handle things until I get back.

CAM NEWTON LAUMNCHES 91YD TD PASS!

Like I said, Marshall's in "maybe mode" today!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:49 PM
The TD pass Moore to Marhsall is the good news. The bad news is Jake Long is out of the game.
John Jerry is in at left tackle.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 01:49 PM
10 -0. Woo hoo!
Posted by: ergo | December 24, 2011 at 01:49 PM
Cam The Scam, Lootin Newton

Posted by: dolfanSF | December 24, 2011 at 01:50 PM
Brandon Marshall = Ted Ginn??? Are you guys stoned???
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 01:50 PM
About time we start taking advantage of the 32nd ranked nfl defense. YESSSSSS!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:50 PM
Jake Long has an arm injury. His return is questionable.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 01:50 PM
Armando any rumors about Daboll -keeping him or kicking him ?
Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 01:51 PM
You gotta tackle these guys by the Man Purse or they just slip away
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 01:51 PM
Pats look like they were going to mail this one in. Mando disagrees, but I say Bowles should keep job with 3 wins.
Posted by: Tur d Ferguson | December 24, 2011 at 01:51 PM
Let Jerry play the rest of the season. See what he's got. Let Long rest.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 01:51 PM
soiledbottom.
As long as its only nfl defenses that Newton is lootin. He will recieved nfl amnesty!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:52 PM
jerry looks good at LT. How about putting him at RT when Jake gets healthy.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | December 24, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Would like to see Woodhead spit splinters after the Fins shove his wooden dick down his throat.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Logan Mankins is out of the game for the Pats.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 01:55 PM
Every time someone touches Welker he comes up looking for a stupid penalty.
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 01:55 PM
Agree with Turd...
Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 01:56 PM
Dolphin D showing the perfect blueprint how you beat a prolific offense that doesnt have an awesome wr.
The only way they beat you deep on your blitzes is a short reception and missed tackle. Not have a legit wr is killing the Pats right now!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Matt Moore is looking better and better to me as a starter every week. That throw to Marshall for the touchdown was impressive. Maybe they should think about surrounding him with some talent on offense next year.
Posted by: Professor Lou | December 24, 2011 at 01:57 PM
This D is starting to remind me a lot of the 49ers D.. Built similarly
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 01:57 PM
YG DB Tell us about Barkley again.
Posted by: clueless | December 24, 2011 at 01:58 PM
Lets cut his ass

Who is this guy Mastroud?

Po, what's happning? Good Christmas?

48YDS, Bush halfway to 100yds already!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 01:58 PM
got a break there. That ball was clearly uncatchable
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 01:59 PM
what a break for the Dolphins on this call
Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Dolphins need to knock the wind out of the Pats sails on this drive if they can.
Posted by: Professor Lou | December 24, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Im starting to love bush.. He's legit if he can stay healthy..
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 02:00 PM
REGGIE...REGGIE...REGGIE!
Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 02:02 PM
patriots pass defense makes Miami pass defense seem like the Steel curtain pass defense by comparison.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 02:02 PM
The craisy is loose
Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 02:02 PM
Underthrew it
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 02:03 PM
Pats ask LB Jerod Mayo to cover Brandon Marshall down the seam.That is a GREAT matchup for Miami.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 02:03 PM
Ill take marshall one on one in the endzone against mccourty all day. Just needed a better throw
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 02:04 PM
Steeling a page out of the Wisconsins badgers playbook! I love it. Monte Ball is definately a better thrower and Rob Wilson is a much better WR
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 02:05 PM
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 02:05 PM
Loving the play calling by Dabol today and Moore hanging in there until the last second to complete the pass to Bush for the first was an excellent play on his part.
Posted by: Professor Lou | December 24, 2011 at 02:05 PM
Moore missed a Wide open TE again
Posted by: Chase | December 24, 2011 at 02:05 PM
Hey Armando, Kardashian is doing a good job on Reggie Bush eh
Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 02:05 PM
Matt Moore - Brandon Marshall - Reggie Bush
The core of our offense next year?
Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 02:06 PM
If Marshall cuts in front instead of behind McCourty its a td catch. Marshall cut behind McCourty giving him a play on the ball.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 02:06 PM
So I went to sleep at 10:30 this morning and just woke up... Am I still wasted or are we winning 17-0 and dominating? Weird...

ALRIGHT MIAMI!!!

Too much eggnog
Posted by: ergo | December 24, 2011 at 02:07 PM
I'm officially on the Matt Moore and Reggie Bush fan wagon gents. These guys are plying like allstars.
Posted by: devildogfin | December 24, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Excellent play by Moore on that touchdown. Also should some excellent ball handling skills on the first and goal play.
Posted by: Professor Lou | December 24, 2011 at 02:08 PM
As I said earlier, to beat the Pats you have to excute in all phases!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 02:08 PM
IS this where we get lulled into a false sense of security with the lead and momentum only to have it change in the second half
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 02:08 PM
holy C#%p!!!
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
