Texans lead Dolphins 27-10 in the fourth quarter

HOUSTON -- Marcus Thigpen gave the Dolphins a fleeting ray of sunshine with a 72-yard punt return TD in the third quarter.

But the Dolphins offense cannot move the ball with consistency. And the defense cannot stop the Texans with consistency.

And so this game is 27-10 at the moment and hope of a Dolphins comeback is fading.

The live blog is not fading. It continues going strong in the comments section below.

I say we trade Bess for a few conditional picks.

[North Tim]

4th and goal at the 1...should be easy to throw a 2 yrd pass...unless its tipped of course

[oscar canosa]

You can see the weaknesses of some of our Players being exposed against a good Team, including Incognito's.

[IMAWriter]

Finally, rolls him out...that's a catch.

Yeah, but I'd rather have 4th and goal at the one than on the five.
Duh.
Javorski?
I'd roll Tanny out. Hate to keep harping on this, but it will give our next opponents something to have to game plan for.

[Swamy]

Fins would be pulling a win out of their a@# if they can score a TD here and convert two consecutive kickoff recoveries into TDs.

31-30

[inimounts]

The only difference from luck and tannehill is watching luck u know he is something else. Throws a pretty ball, looks alot like manning, and is smart. He will get better. Ryan I'm not so site.

[inimounts]

Sure*

[72perfectstill]

Trade Bess so Ireland can screw up the picks?!
No way!

[inimounts]

Andrew luck is pressing in the red zone, trying to get the ball to Wayne. Wheeden has no one to throw to but does not look good.

[compcomplex]

Tanny won't put up the numbers or points Marino did that day. Please don't insult Marino by comparing him to that latest stiff to be the quarterback.

[Chris in the 623]

That play pretty much sums up the day.

[IMAWriter]

Horrible call on the challenge.
And, they didn't roll him out.
I'm an amateur, why can't the coaches see this?

[Earl]

AWFUL, JUST F$#KING AWFUL!!!

[Radish]

Wow, the wco is very impressive. We got a field goal out of it.

[JackSparrow]

glad it was knocked down instead of knocked up

[zaphod]

Another knock down. Good stuff from the offense todoay.

[superPHIN]

batted ball...figures, can they practice lollipoping the ball up in the air in practice this week....

[dave]

2 nice drive by thill but got to finish

[Yesterday'sGone]

Dolfans, call your grandmothers, this one's history!

[inimounts]

Our players are worse than they were last year! And the worst part, the secondary, we're the least amount of the problem today (no ints, big surprise)

[long season]

Tannehill throws it right at the jumping DL. Henne did the same thing. The DL was in the air before he threw the ball. SMH

[Grrrreeeaaattttt point]

Yes, if we only had Marshall we could be a 6-10 team again instead of winning one or two and having the first pick. Please bring Marshall back so we can lose out on the 1st pick and continue employing Jeff Ireland.

[Kris]

Why are we calling time out.....

[TanneSupporter]

stop complaining so much hes a Rookie

If the dolphins cash in a few times and dont turn it over 4 times they would be in this. Its one bad game chill out

[JackSparrow]

Houston does not respect Miami's offense. They could have easily drove the length of the field.

[bobbyd12]

Za

[inimounts]

Philbin, like Ireland and Ross, have killed the team I love. I wanted to get a jersey at the store but no dolphins jerseys, we have no one worth the print.

[Kris]

Thinking the same thing about the batted ball.....

[robert909]

you just seen it in the batted ball he is staring down recievers and the D-line is watching him and batting the ball down he has to stop staring down reciever

[superPHIN]

God, i want to punch philbin for doing this BS....who gives a fu#k at this point in the game...this offense has been putrid..enough is enough...let it end!!!

[tiredfinfan]

Tannehill is the worst rookie QB from this year's draft! He needs a step stool when he throws. DAMN IT!!! This team SUUUCCKKKSSS!!! Cam Cameron saga part II. Ireland's resignation, better-termination needs to happen tomorrow morning ASAP!!!

[CreteJohn]

sn't it amazing? Yet another opening game. Patriots sailing along. Mistake free football, Good old Wes Welker (not good enough for Miami to keep) ... Miami - another new coach, another new quarterback, tons of mistakes, turnovers, .. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR A DECADE NOW!

[NWFLPHINS]

Batted balls at line of scrimmage are on qb not level of talent around him...

[dave]

at least we found a return man

[Ziggy]

Tannehill has zero weapons for sure but he still sucks. Batted balls, check downs, he's Henne all over again

[Mark]

It would have been nice to see Moore giving some advice to Tannehill on the sidelines. I don't think i've seen him at all.

[oscar canosa]

Yes, STs were good again. But not enough to win.

[inimounts]

Can anyone explain to me how nobody owns us like the texans. Even when they had carr and sucked we did not beat them.

[Kris]

stop complaining so much hes a Rookie

IF PIGS COULD FLU...and IF Gas was dollar 1.256 again....ONLY IF.....

[JackSparrow]

LOL!!!! Total lack of discipline.

Guess we need to go back and look at the tape.

MANDO, DON'T FORGET TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES PLAYERS SAY THAT IN THE LOCKER ROOM TODAY.

[TanneSupporter]

Tannehill has zero weapons for sure but he still sucks. Batted balls, check downs, he's Henne all over again

LOL hes a ROOKIE shut up please

[superPHIN]

undiciplined, and now dropping footballs....Oh My!!!

[Radish]

rg3 139.6
brees 78.9

[DS]

WCO not problem. Tann-E-Hill STARING down = batted balls. He's got 4 inches on Montana and he had no problems. Gotta learn...

[oscar canosa]

Bush is Bush and Bess is Bess, also.

[JackSparrow]

HOLY CRAP!

IF BUSH GETS HURT, WE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE NEGATIVE WINS THIS YEAR.

[72perfectstill]

The more things change, the more things stay the same

[bobbyd12]

Anyone who is judging TanneHill off the 1st game of his carreer needs to watch Tennis or something else.

[inimounts]

I'm going to say this one more time, and it can't be denied: TANNEHILL HAS NO ONE TO THROW TO. How can he be judged until he does? Until Lamar miller is used how he was promised to be? Until we get a receiver or tight end that scores tds? Patriots have two te that score more tds than we wil all year COMBINED.

[TanneSupporter]

vick has 4 INTS

Stafford has 3 INTS

give me a break stop complaining about a rookie

[Yesterday'sGone]

Houston's best greatest weapon today has been "OUR OFFENSE". LOL

[Jscott]

I'm thinking Tannehille needs to be 8 foot 2 .....Maybe he could then get it past the line of scrimmage.

[inimounts]

I either always agree with bobbyd or never do. Which one is it bobby?

[Angry Elf]

Fix the line tips and the penchant to throw to ole concrete boots Fasano and Tannehill is doing well for a rookie.

[72perfectstill]

Save your judgements on Tannehill till the end of the year

[JackSparrow]

PULL THE DAMN STARTERS JOE!

[superPHIN]

sign gaffney, sign plax, and stallworth....at this juncture, you cannot go on with this recieving core...ATROCIOUS!!!

[Swamy]

Tannehill needs to roll out if he doesn't plan to put any arc on the ball.

AT WHAT POINT WILL FO MAKE A CHANGE AT QB?

0-6?
0-7?
1-7?
1-8?

[JackSparrow]

TANNE HAS NO ONE TO THROW TO BECAUSE HE CAN'T GET THE BALL OVER THE DAMN O-LINES HEAD.

[Kris]

Lets trade for 6-7...Mallett....
