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.
Hartline Bess cant get open. Marshall cant hold on to the ball! Great receivers core.

Mando,
NFL Net. reporting the Packers will hire T.Sparano as the team's head janitor and assistant cheerleaders coach. It seems the fist pump will be vogue around the league.

The point is, it is a free country people. And there's nothing worse than people who claim to know what is inbounds commentary and what is out of bounds.

Why did Steven Ross cross the road?
...To screw up his next important decision.

I would call a TO if Buf is stopped on 2nd down.

Armando, freedom of speech? Have you really read some of your past blogs?
Should have had the freedom of speech brainwave operating then. It comes down to what players you do or dont like, when it comes down to you renigging on thiers. LOL

Defense has sacked up since first drive.
Posted by: todd neal | December 18, 2011 at 02:25 PM
maybe they should give Gates a look at PR.
Posted by: dolfanSF | December 18, 2011 at 02:25 PM
Dolphins have had a pick in quite a few STRAIGHT games.....
Armando...do you have the stat.....
Posted by: kris | December 18, 2011 at 02:25 PM
What about donations for the airplane in the Jets Game, to said bye, bye Ireland
Posted by: tony in miami | December 18, 2011 at 02:26 PM
ARMANDO.
Now that your reading posts can you please consider a topic on the Dolphin Scouts? They suck and nobody wants to lay a hand on these.
What is their record and i believe that These scouts are also to be held responsible.
BTW, Jeff Ireland was a Scout for KC and the Cowboys.
Scouts Armando, please place that on your ""to do" list.
Thanks,
NY "G"

Another great catch by the best wr on the team B hartline.

B-Line!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 18, 2011 at 02:26 PM
Armando, boy did you trample all over Ricky Williams freedom of speech during his Dolphins career. The list goes on and on.
Armando, none of us are perfect, so sometimesw we have to be so careful when calling the kettle black. We all have idiot moments, even you. LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:26 PM
Hartline, friggin soldier. love em.

man the bills are awful. this game kills us, loses our last place schedule and moves us down in draft. killer damnit!
Posted by: dusty bottoms | December 18, 2011 at 02:27 PM
Isn't that an incomplete pass to Bush????
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:27 PM
nice effort, reggie.
Posted by: dolfanSF | December 18, 2011 at 02:27 PM
Tuck Rule!!!
Posted by: todd neal | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
As of lately, whenever he handles to get open, Hartline is making really good catches. Problem lies on "whenever he handles to get open"
Posted by: MaCo | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
Colombo you SOB
Posted by: Spiderman` | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
This play is being reviewed. If it stands as ruled onthe field, the fumble was caused by Chris Kelsay. Blocking Chris kelsay?
Marc Colombo. He strikes again.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
niceeeeee keep bills in game
Posted by: dusty bottoms | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
Why is MARC COLUMBO STILL STARTING! Is he the best we have?
Posted by: Spiderman | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM
dusty, do you copy/paste your exact same posts week in and week out??? It would save you some time...LOL!!
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:28 PM

I have never seen a more PATHETIC display of offense in the redzone then I have with this team......PUKING!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 18, 2011 at 02:29 PM
Marc Colombo is AWFUL...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:29 PM
So "deputy dog" Ross says Ireland's only a couple players away in the personnel dept. Lest see.........................hmmm?...
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:30 PM
If Matt Moore's name would be Tom Brady, the call would of been reversed...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | December 18, 2011 at 02:30 PM

NEXT COACH FOR DOLPHINS WILL BE...............
Ask Armando Salguero
Posted by: tony in miami | December 18, 2011 at 02:31 PM
Armando,
If Ricky Williams said the sky was blue. You would find a way to have issue with it. LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:32 PM
yesssssssssssssss come on bills get in endzone. winner of this game kills their future compared to the loser
Posted by: dusty bottoms | December 18, 2011 at 02:32 PM
Is it too early to fire Todd Bowles!! Call a timeout when you are on the 10 yard line with 40 seconds left so you don't turn the ball over. And don't go for a field goal on the road from the 2 yard line. Go for it! And don't run up the gut with Bush on 3rd and 2 !! Same stupid coaching calls! Same stupid results!!
Posted by: FinFanFoster | December 18, 2011 at 02:33 PM
dusty,
Scary game, Bills seem to be finding ways to out-awful the Dolpyhins!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:33 PM
Man I am going to have to look that one up given the rules are constantly changing but I thought an under handed pass tossed foward was a foward pass even behind the line of scrimmage, seen Favre do it alot in his career??
Posted by: fin4life | December 18, 2011 at 02:34 PM
Drug test the officals
Posted by: jscottviper | December 18, 2011 at 02:34 PM
That's the FIRST time in history that an empty hand has resulted in a perfect spiral! What a bad call. Yeah, his arm was hit but he held onto it long enough to throw the pass, ergo, the spiral.
Posted by: Jim Burnett | December 18, 2011 at 02:34 PM
kick fg
Posted by: dusty bottoms | December 18, 2011 at 02:34 PM

Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 18, 2011 at 02:35 PM
