New ballgame: Pats-Dolphins tied at 17 going to 4th quarter

FOXBORO, Mass. -- It could have been 24-3 had Clyde Gates not gotten tackled by kicker Stephen Gostowski in the third quarter.

But he was. And he didn't get the TD. And the Patriots made their comeback, fueled in part by a Matt Moore fumble that led to a TD.

The game is tied 17-17 after Miami led 17-0 at halftime.

Posted by: jscottviper | December 24, 2011 at 03:33 PM

We are in a slugfest with an elite Team and QB. We'll see.

the wheel just fell off

Posted by: jscottviper | December 24, 2011 at 03:37 PM

we're receiving a great dosis of ineptitud from Mr. Moore.

Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 03:37 PM

Intercept and score!!!

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:37 PM

This second half so far you are seeing why the Dolphins MUST draft a QB with hopes of finding one who is a franchise player.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:37 PM

ROLLER COASTER...

Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 03:38 PM

But there will be no QB to draft. So now what?

Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:38 PM

..Wow, I just got home. Suprising. It looks like turnovers may be our downfall today..We can't afford many Moore of those.

Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | December 24, 2011 at 03:38 PM

Matt Moore your franchise QB ladies and germs, choke, choke

Posted by: Husketeer | December 24, 2011 at 03:38 PM

Dang it! This team really is schizophrenic.

Posted by: cosmodo | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM

Phins D just turned to P U S S Y S!

Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM

the last time Vontae Davis went down vs. the Pats and Nolan Carroll came on the field, the Pats went right after him.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM

WHO?

Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM

I've seen this movie before. I never liked the ending.

Posted by: ergo | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM

We see Bowles can't make adjustments just like Sparano couldn't.

Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

OFFENSE DOES NOTHING RIGHT, DEFENSE CANT GET A STOP. WE'RE IN FULL COLLAPSE SCRIPT GUYS. LOL

Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

Matt sucks. He should not throw deep. He does not have the arm strength. Maybe and hopefully he will break his neck today.

Posted by: tim | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

MUst draft a QB-WR-TE-RB-and defense that can tackle

Don't forget to blow up the Saban memorial bubble and have every game at 1 PM

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

jelly bean, is it time to start being pessimistic yet?

Posted by: austin | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

Giants kicking as Jets 20-7, in the beg. of the 4th quarter

Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 03:40 PM

This blog flip flops as much as the average sports writer........pathetic

Caroll intercept-win-pay attention

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:41 PM

BRADY IN PATS HUDDLE SAYING:

"SAME OLE DAMN FISH FRIED DOLPHINS".

Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:41 PM

we need a turn over....defensive score... and 3 more brady sacks to stop the momentum.

Posted by: jscottviper | December 24, 2011 at 03:41 PM

Well, matt moore lovers are getting a wake up call....

Posted by: superPHIN | December 24, 2011 at 03:41 PM

Full on meltdown. Not as bad as the Monday Night Jet's game several years back, but a meltdown no less. Can't be surprised by it though, Miami is 5-9 for a reason and NE wins the east every year for a reason. 2 different teams, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this game ended 34-17 NE. You hate to lose to a division team but Miami still wins in the Draft order with the lost.

Posted by: /facepalm | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM

this is a clinic on how to lose a game. todd bowles is completely overwhelmed.

Posted by: austin | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM

Need a top HC and QB just to start with

Posted by: DublcOtown13 | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM

Which was more surprising DD, a lead or a collapse? Pats maybe came out flat after their Bronco win? Yeah its all about Bowles lack of adjustments lol.

Posted by: Tom | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM

Welker matched up against Kevin Burnett ... Not good. Not good at all.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM

What did I tell you
Brady will study the secret film at halftime and now look at him

Posted by: beerndrums | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

Armando,

They are going after Carroll again, I guess Brady just likes him more than Davis.

Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

how Burnett can be paired with ..........this is a joke

Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

ITS NOT JUST MATT MOORE, THIS TEAM NEEDS TO ALSO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS D CANT GET STOPS WHEN NEEDED MOST TOO.

Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

2 turnovers by Matt Moore. If he has kids, I hope he breaks his neck so his kids can have a terrible life.

Posted by: tim | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

..Nice post Tim..Are you serious?? Come on, that statement is one of the worst of all time..Plungie award for you for Christmas.

Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

Nice trade Welker to NE Nickovitch-turnover time

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

armando, is nolan conspiring against the dolphin's head coaches?

Posted by: austin | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

Vontae has an elbow injury. he is questionable to return.

Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:43 PM

Some of you guys are hilarious, just 30 minutes ago Bowles was the coach of the future and Moore a franchise QB, now they're both toast lol
I've been saying this team is flattering to deceive now you see the proof

Posted by: Husketeer | December 24, 2011 at 03:44 PM

Bowles audition just ended.

Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:44 PM

Trade 3 1's for Luck? That still might not be enough.

Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 03:44 PM

Nolan Carroll in for V Davis....oh gawd

Posted by: DublcOtown13 | December 24, 2011 at 03:44 PM

Yes I am serious Darryl. I actually kept it clean. I actually hope for worse things for him so he can suffer.

Posted by: tim | December 24, 2011 at 03:45 PM

Vontae vanishes when we need him

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:45 PM

BRADY IS THE BEST QB IN HISTORY ....
