Inactive and live blog here

The announcement of today's inactive tells us the Raiders receiver corps will get better ... and Miami's will get worse.

The Dolphins will be without Anthony Armstrong, who was doubtful with a hamstring injury. He is inactive. Other Miami inactives are Pat Devlin, Michael Egnew, Will Yeatman, Tony McDaniel, Ray Feinga, Daniel Thomas and Pat Devlin.

The Raiders, meanwhile, are getting some good news in that Denarius Moore, who was inactive in their opener with a hamstring injury, is active today. Moore averaged 18.9 yards per receptions last season.

As you may know, my column today is about how this game may determine the direction of either franchise for quite some time. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Another thing: I don't see this being a high-scoring game. Neither offense impresses me.

We will be having a live blog here today. It begins in the comments section at kickoff. Meet me there.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Thank You God!

Now Don't forget the part where I asked for pressure on Palmer!

[Kris]

Tanne need to stop skinning and grinning...and START looking at some filim shots...ALA Peyton....

[Nino]

Great first drive!! Hartline shows up nicely

[Harmel]

It'll take 3 years to get 11 wins.

[We Have RB's]

Stop Run DMC, don't turn the ball over & the Dolphins win

[ncfinfan33]

Kris why arent you a NFL qb coach?

[IMAWriter]

Finally, the ouches listened to the FANS...roll Tanny out...run threat, and he throws great on the run.
Hartline....love the cockiness today. Lee is toast all day. Hartline is setting him up to beat him deep. If brian can just not trip on himself, as he oddly does once in a while.

BTW, was THAT the FINS?
Awlllll-right Miami!

[Reg]

sick of reading all these negative comments!!!!!!!
How about having a little faith BEFORE the game starts??
If they win you'll still moan saying 2 garbage teams so win was no big deal.
should they lose you'll just continue to try and say you're right and the team are crap.

YOU ARE NOT PROPER FANS IMO!!!!

[DC Dolfan]

Wow, a Pats fan posting on a Dolphins blog while their own game is going on. How sad and pathetic is that?

[IMAWriter]

Coaches

[robbyhernz]

Is it hot and muggy in Miami today?

[mike]

Where are the Hartline haters, he's too slow, a bust, can't catch. Right.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Oh yeah....and God, you know I was just joking about the Raiders plane crashing.......RIGHT?

[Harmel]

Where's the D?

[Armando Salguero]

Meanwhile, Dolphins secondary picks up where it left off last week.

[IMAWriter]

"Coalition"...happy as you, but this is the Raiders, not the Texans.
2 more like this, and I'll be jumping' up and down even more.

[DC Dolfan]

Always bringing us back to Earth, thanks Mando, appreciate it.

[Marc]

Wrap up Wake!

[robbyhernz]

Too much time on that Mando! That's not on the secondary..

[Kris]

nice try by wake....

[IMAWriter]

DC, Mando ain't playing db today.

[Armando Salguero]

Big moment for the Raiders here but Jon Condo, their regular long snapper is active today.

[DC Dolfan]

No, I wish I could send you a box of chocolates or something. I feel sorry for you dude.

[IMAWriter]

Palmer is as slow as cement, and we can't get him?

[Nino]

secondary did just fine on that drive. one first down.

[BLAZZIN ACE]

It's Cute when teams try and run on us

[robbyhernz]

Brady has a pass tipped for an INT... New trend on D...

[Yesterday'sGone]

T^higpen had 70yd pr td last week. Why is Bess the returner today? Maybe Thigpen taking D Thomas' place in the offense today?

[We Have RB's]

This is the best the Dolphins have looked at home in years...

[The Biocentric]

Palmer's lucky he didn't get his a## handed to him.

[Nino]

OK - lets go up 14-0 - who's with me?!?!?!

[Armando Salguero]

Sean Smith is on the trainer's table being looked at for an unknown issue.

[We Have RB's]

YG,

I was thinking the same thing. Still makes no sense. Thigpen is a better PR.

[IMAWriter]

Maybe Miller this possession?

[Yesterday'sGone]

Smith was blocked ion back on the Palmer scramble. Injury have occured there.

[Orlando Dolphan]

Phins are looking good so far. This is a game that we can win. Hartline, Bush, and Tanne looking good so far. Philbin is using Tanne's strengths so far in this game.

[DC Dolfan]

I think it's a tear in his ego, he'll be fine.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

We got off the field on 3rd down?

Scored on our opening drive? A TD no less?

Who knows what can happen.

Ima, get it a rest, we can only play whose on the scedule.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Raiders maybe stacking run box now.

[We Have RB's]

I didn't realize Tannehill was such a good WR...

[robbyhernz]

Gr8 job by O-line!!!

[mike]

Shula Fan45 Quite showing your lack of knowledge,

[BLAZZIN ACE]

THANK GOD NO MORE NENEEE!!!

[Kris]

Nice pass...;ow and away...

[We Have RB's]

Again...We started the game looking good.

[Marc]

SEAN SMITH might be better for us NOT on the field...Hartline, go whiteboy

[Yesterday'sGone]

Hartline our best wr today.

[IMAWriter]

Does Hartline have a Pornstache?

[Orlando Dolphan]

Hartline and Tanne connection looking good so far. I think Tanne has done a good job of using Tanne's strengths.

[Kris]

Nice catch...

[The Biocentric]

Tanny's passes right on today.

[Armando Salguero]

It is Miller time now. Lamar Miller time.

[Kris]

miller...4 yards on 1st carry...

[Pittsburgh Jim]

Go ahead Bess! Fasano sux!

[Armando Salguero]

Anthony Fasano's perpetually inconsist hands have made their appearance.

[We Have RB's]

If we can keep Tannehill healthy he's going to be a good one.

[Marc]

A fake FG/punt? Scratching my head here

[DC Dolfan]

Love that play. Sparano's special teams NEVER did anything like that!

[The Biocentric]

I like the pooch punt call there. Pin em deep.

[Pittsburgh Jim]

nice!! Good call Philby!
