Live blog of Dolphins vs. Falcons (plus pregame info) here

Guard Artis Hicks is out with a neck injury. John Jerry starts at right guard, as I reported yesterday. Kevin Burnett (back) is not playing so Gary Guyton starts for him. And as I previously read on this blog, Karlos Dansby (knee) also isn't playing while Austin Spitler takes his spot.

The rest of the Dolphins scratches tonight:

David Garrard (knee), Kelcie McCray (foot), Kevyn Scott (leg), Jonas Gray (knee), Burnett (back), Dansby (knee), Lydon Murtha (foot), Tony McDaniel (leg) and Brian Hartline (leg).

The Murtha injury is interesting in that he missed much of last season with a foot injury. It is unknown if it's the same foot but this is not good.

Vontae Davis is scheduled to play so you can now totally discoun the idea he's going to be traded in the next day or so.

And finally, we have a live blog going this evening. I'll meet you in the comments section at kickoff.

[Mark in WPB]

No way the Dolphins beat Bama

[Phins78]

Actually that does it for me tonight too. When the lonely guys club president starts trying to talk to me about random subjects that's a sure sign to call it a night. Poor sad fool.

[Rick]

Tony Sparano is laughing

[What if?]

Odin

To quote Shakespeare,

Doth thow protest too much.

I'm sure the meaning of that goes way over your head, so in a nutshell, guilty as charged!

Any innocent person would have ignored it.

If these clowns ever win a game they'll throw a parade lol

So you really do care? You do attach importance top Pre Season win/loss records?

[IMAWriter]

Orlando, Dave won with Jimmah's players, andy basically wore out 2 rbi's, and eventually left the Fins depleted due to his and our GM's poor personel decisions.

[Rick]

Brandon Marshall is laughing

[Dashi]

The last game was lost on the last play.

And the Starters only played 1 half. Amd that wasn't even the starting D.

Plus the Starting Wr was out. Yes, Flatline is the 2nd best Wr on this team.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Listening to The Doors right now. Morrison rocks.

'I'm a back door man, yeay yeay...'

Great lyrics!

[nyfinfan]

Buckle up boys 1-15, the nightmare part deux.

[Dashi]

Ahh Crap!!!!!!

Little Hands in the Rain

[Rick]

Never thought we'd yearn for the Wanny years like we are.

[72perfectstill]

Egnew hasn't gotten on the field

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Dashi....are we going for round two tonight? After the game? I got a new webcam.

Obviously my impostor. Obviously still talking gay stuff.

Just for the record guys, this guy accuses me of talking all that stuff.

[oscar canosa]

Man, does Matt Moore suck or what?

[#1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal]

How is Roberto Wallace doing tonight? I keep hearing he's the next Brendon Marshall...Yeah, sure...

[jerk]

Hey stupid, stop quoting Shakespear, youre just making a fool out of yourself. It's not "thow" its thou you moron. What a joke you are. That's not even a typo, the w is 5 keys away from the u. Bwaaaaahahahaha

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Philbin obviously doesn't want the offense morally defeated by the score.

Mother nature isn't cooperating.

[Z99]

This is terrible, maybe 1 or 2 wins this year.

[IMAWriter]

Rick, not me. Wanny was ultimately a destroyer.

[Rick]

WHERE ARE THE FANS??? LOL

[oscar canosa]

Have to gather myself before analyzing where this Team is coming from.

[IMAWriter]

Mando, why Miller in so late, on a dangerous field, unless he's on the bubble. I can't believe that's the case.
The rest of this game needs to be handoffs to the fullback, fall down and get outta here without serious injury.

[Dashi]

Damn these little hands!!!!!!

[Any given Sunday]

We have HOF caliber WRs.

[Another LongSeason]

Where is "7-11"? I mean no one on this team but Bess can actually catch a football, and you have a guy who is "always open" but he doesn't play?? Or plays for one minute at the end of the 4th????

[Goodison Parke]

You guys are a Hoot!
Breaking down the plays and analyzing the players AS IF this were a real NFL franchise.

But its a joke; Tannehill's a joke; the line's a joke. Jake Long is shot & on his way out of town. With the POSSIBLE exception of Bess, there are NO NFL caliber WRs. Fasano blows. Defense is mush.

Thanks Tuna!

[#1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal]

Let's talk about the positives...First one is we don't get to see that ugly infield dirt on the field anymore...That's a start...

[redsky]

I can't believe some fans are sitting there, that rain is hammering them, at least the players have helmets, there's hail in some areas too!!!

[oscar canosa]

Very few things you can be sure of now. Rookie Lamar Miller stays.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

This is terrible, maybe 1 or 2 wins this year.

This pisses me off soooooooo bad. I can't believe anyone would post this. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I only have one of two answers.

.............um.......actually I was going to make a joke, but then In relaized, this shyt is just too stoopid to even be funny...........

(SIGH...............I wish we had some better Trolls around here.)

Golly Gee Mr. Wilson, ya think we'll get two? Gosh - Wowee, I sure Hope So!

[oscar canosa]

I dont think I've ever seen such a bad NFL team.

[Orlando Dolphan]

At least the Dolphins defense played hard for Wanny. It was 3 yards and a cloud of dust and then punt but at least we had some winning seasons.

What we have now is terrible. We need a complete new team.

[andyk]

Tanny looked pretty good tonight, given whet he was working with

Ireland continues to look like a blithering idiot

[Dashi]

Miller needs to get his plays in.

Slaton is on the bubble? Thighpen and Slaton are probably battiling for 1 spot?

[IMAWriter]

Amen, #1Montreal.
Amen.
I have to blame this all on .......

The Shula Curse.

[Jay]

Tannehill was god awful! AGAIN

[andyk]

Wanny? he was an even worse GM than Ireland

a decent defensive coach, he was one of the worst game day coaches i've ever seen...ZERO half time adjustments

[Clue]

Lol were going 4 and 12 no doubt. For the 1000th time Ireland needs to be fired. Btw has Odrick even gotten near the QB this preseason .. Bust!!

[What if?]

Hey stupider dumb dummy, you can't even spell Shakespeare after I handed it to you on a plate! LMFAO!

I know, you are a Y generation kid, everyone passes, even total failures.....Yep.

[Clue]

Tannehill looks like Henne out there

[Monte]

Wanny had good seasons here. Every coach since him has been worse.

[oscar canosa]

We have a lot of work to do(no surprise) but at least Philbin and RT look true.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Other than overall negative tone, unfortunately, this post is right on the money!

You should've signed this one with your real sign.....in...........psssssssft. NEVERMIND!

Anyway, I have to give credit where credit is due. If EVERYBODY is going to drop the football, where the Fvck is the guy that wants it? Where's Hogan? Christ, I woulda called Nat Moore out of the Booth!

He could've did better than this crew. We should have seen Hogan way Earlier!

[Dashi]

Odrick is Soliai's replacement.

He's saving the Pee-Wee herman for the regular Season

[Monte]

Tannehill looks like John Beck. Clueless.

[oscar canosa]

Armando is a lazy fuc-.

[Goodison Parke]

Foolbin will not be coaching in the NFL next year.

Another regime change in store.......but as exasperating as that seems, at least Ireland will be gone.........three years two late.

Thnx Tuna!

[IMAWriter]

G'night Mando, and those taking the time to post football related comments.
To the rest....
Get a life.
Seriously.

[oscar canosa]

You are a disgrace to us Cubans, Armando. We are going to take you out of there.

[Goodison Parke]

too

also

[redsky]

Odin we are getting hammered in south FL. The rain is bad too!!!! Tell me the truth Odin, we've been on this blog together for years

[Clue]

Dashi Odrick sucks quit sticking up for him. Phillbin def another Cam Cameron an old grandpa who doesn't even scream at his players

[Tim Couch]

PURE UNMITIGATED GARBAGE. JUST LIKE THE CITY OF MIAMI.

[Clue]

Armando so bored he's prob j e r ki n g off in the booth! HA

[Goodison Parke]

Tannehill's a frikkin joke, a third-rounder project fobbed off on the fans by Liddle Stevie Loss.

[jerk]

There's no such word as stupider. Wow.

[Orlando Dolphan]

I agree that Wanny is not a great Head Coach and that he benefited from having Jimmy's players. I am just pointing out that we used to complain so much when poor Wanny was here. We went from an average team (with Wanny) to the joke of the league now.

What do you do next year when Matt Barkley is on the board with the first pick? Do you trade him for a King's ransom and go on with Tannehill? I would trade Tannehill (hopefully he has some value).

[redsky]

Odin Part Deux: Tell me the truth Odin.... You are also Dashi, right, you're the ventriloquist with his recalcitrant puppet putting on a show for the rest of us.....our entertainment to lessen the hurt of our decrepit team!!!

[Dashi]

Clue ur Opinion. Doesn't take away from the Truth.

Odrick is Soliai's Replacement. Next Year. Makes Sense.

Dashi didn't say Odrick will roam with the Fear of Sandusky on Opposing Qb's.

Just Saying, Odrick is really a DT not a DE.
