ORCHARD PARK NY -- The Miami defense is having a hard time tackling. Really hard.
And that's one reason C.J. Spiller went 24 yards for the only touchdown so far today.
The Dolphins haven't been able to do much damage on the ground, something they expected to do. But they did get big 30-yard pass play from Matt Moore to Charles Clay as the first quarter ended.
They're in field goal range. Let's see how that goes.
The live blog rolls in the comments section. Meet me there.
[Update: Matt Moore completed a 22-yard TD to a wide open Anthony Fasano on the first play of the second quarter. Tied game.
Where's Soiled? Always late that fellow...

Fasano and Clay will be great with RGIII or Barkley throwing to them next year.
Posted by: KS | December 18, 2011 at 01:42 PM
Not a bad throw Matty!

How we gonna get either QB without a trade up ... We'll prob finish with the 6th pick in round one. Not good enough to get those guys.

Great throw actually, nice high arc lob to TE, good job.
Posted by: rand_the_fin | December 18, 2011 at 01:43 PM
.....Just sad!!! Great for fasano, but Hell anybody here with the exception of mando could catch that ball being that wide open.....*lol*

Followed up by a FUBAR special teams play

good pressure from D line
Posted by: dolfanSF | December 18, 2011 at 01:45 PM
Ryan Fitzpatrick has erratic accuracy. One does not give a QB with erratic accuracy a big contract.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 18, 2011 at 01:47 PM
Fasano as the 2nd T.E. works in 08 with David Martin as the 1st option Fasano played well blocking and releasing as a secdondary option in the pass game. If we finally get an upper tier pass catching T.E. we could have a solid 2 T.E. formation which GREATLY helps the run and pass game.

Well, the bills are doing enough to help us with all these penalties. Now we need to see a drive to take the lead.
Posted by: Jim Burnett | December 18, 2011 at 01:50 PM
Sounds like were due for another turnover....maybe???
Posted by: superPHIN | December 18, 2011 at 01:51 PM
HARTLINE!!!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 18, 2011 at 01:52 PM
Great catch....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:52 PM
love hartline, doesn't get enough respect.
Posted by: dolfanSF | December 18, 2011 at 01:52 PM
Dolphins wasted a down to take the possibility of replay out of the last bomb completion.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 18, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Matt Moore...I'm a fan...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 01:53 PM
Armando, that's an improvement over Sparano right there.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 18, 2011 at 01:53 PM
GREATLOOKING DRAW....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:54 PM

Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 18, 2011 at 01:56 PM
Can we put all the "play hard for Sporano" crap to bed.....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:56 PM

Posted by: dolfanSF | December 18, 2011 at 01:56 PM
Great run by Reggie!

Mando,
Posted by: fin4life | December 18, 2011 at 01:57 PM
NICE throwaway by Moore. He's learning, finally!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 18, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Players PLAY for themselves.....
This isn't the Knute Rockne era......
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Guys, despite the loss last week (One bad quarter cost us the game), I'm a fan of Matt Moore, Reggie Bush, Charles Clay, Brandon Marshall...We're a few o-linemen and wr's away from being a pretty good offense. I'm also a Brian Daboll fan...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Forget the punter- Reggie Bush is our MVP for this year!!!
Posted by: Jim Burnett | December 18, 2011 at 01:58 PM
If your lucky...you get players that PLAY for there teammates....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:58 PM
ADBOLL this is your show...
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Another dropped TD for Brandon Marshall.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Marshall is a puss
Posted by: KS | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Another dropped TD by Marshall. pfff
Posted by: MaCo | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
6 tries from the 1 WTF!!
Posted by: PhinFan4Life | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
That should of been a TD...Great throw by Moore again guys...Got to give him credit...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Mando,
SAy what you will of Moore but the ball handling on the hand off to Bess was a thing of beauty! Marshall should have caught the 3rd down pass.
Posted by: fin4life | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM
Brandon :(
Posted by: Sandoval | December 18, 2011 at 01:59 PM

C'MON MARSHALL....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM
That was a great play by Byrd...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM
Wish we could keep Daboll and Nolan and drop GM.
Posted by: KS | December 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM
Did Byrd get his hands on the ball or did Marshall drop it?
Posted by: Spiderman | December 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM
I would trust hartline in the endzone more than i trust marshall......apparently daboll needs to learn that as well.....
Posted by: superPHIN | December 18, 2011 at 02:01 PM
and another 6pt drop by Marshall. Hartline is the best wr on team. Should be more invoved.
Posted by: todd neal | December 18, 2011 at 02:01 PM
Spiderman, Byrd knocked it out of Marshall's hands...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:01 PM
somehwere, Tony Sparano fist pumped the FG.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 18, 2011 at 02:01 PM
Defender streaking across from beyond the end zone knocks ball out of Marshall's grasp. Thats exactly what happened.
Its popular in Miami to accuse Marshall of dropping td's. Thats not what happened in this case. Sometimes our eyes tells us exactly WHAT OUR BRAINS WANT TO HEAR.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:02 PM
I need to see a replay...
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 02:02 PM
So what is everyone bitching about..
Posted by: Spiderman | December 18, 2011 at 02:02 PM
NY G......
Im shocked but you called it....KC beating pack...that would be an upset of the year!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 18, 2011 at 02:03 PM
lol @ Armando....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 02:03 PM
Brandon Marshall needs to go. So msny dropped passes. No excuse for the end zone drop!
Posted by: Jim | December 18, 2011 at 02:03 PM
Armando, lay off the Sparano jokes, he's gone. Very tasteless from you or anyone else here.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:03 PM
KC does NOT beat GB.....not....just a slow start.....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 02:04 PM
Jim,
Would take Marshall over you anyday! LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:04 PM
