Dolphins lead Cards 13-7 to start fourth quarter

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dolphins are holding on to a 13-7 lead but the third quarter was a heart-wrencher not for the faint of heart.

Ryan Tannehill threw one interception and only a instant replay challenge saved him from a second.

Dan Carpenter missed another field goal attempt -- this one from 51 yards.

And the defense yielded its first TD of the day on Larry Fitzgerald TD catch.

[Craig M]

Dashi,

Not hearing too much from the 'can't believe we traded Marshall' clan tonight. They must not be watching the game.

Defense has played GREAT except for those two big passing plays...

[Yesterday's Gone]

Hell, Tanne and Hartline will be co-players of the week this week. LOL

[dbmfins]

And some idiot during the week said Tannehill would not even see a 300 yard passing game this year!

[Dashi]

Too many people flip flopping in one game, have faith you b*stards!

[IMAWriter]

Abut to cry here as well.
So Happy for these players and coach.Win or lose today, this team will win a couple of games they shouldn't.
Prolly lose a couple it shouldn't, but so be it.
All you locals, i KNow our economy sucks, but they need the support.
Maybe Ross will get smart and understand that a full stadium + concessions and gear sales with a little price cut for unsold seats is better than a 2/3 full stadium.
OH crap. Fumble.
We have to learn to win when our offense is on the field.

[Orlando Dolphan]

Wow we should have run the football. You have to make them use their timeouts. Even if we don't get a first down, we would have pinned them deep.

[nyfinfan]

ANOTHER of those odd, and to me dumb calls by Sherman. I swear, the man giveth, then taketh away.

[Yesterday's Gone]

Everything Im seeing from this team is ubelievable today!

[redsky]

FIGHT FINS FIGHT!!! Drink Redsky, drink!!!

[jcurrier31]

Ambulance has been standing by here for the last half hour, already have the defibrillator hooked to my chest

[Orlando Dolphan]

I agree Clipboard. The Dolphins looked great on Offense and Defense today. This is an undefeated team that beat the Patriots in NE and we have out played them on the road.

Where are all the Misi haters, 2 sacks for him. How many sacks do we have.

[dbmfins]

Everyone on this blog is having a heart attack!

[CreteJohn]

Last week we were not going against rookie tackles

[Clipboard]

Still is a statement game like no other!!

On the road, across the country, against a very DEF!

This team is showing a lot of heart!!!
