Texans taking advantage of Miami miscues, lead 24-3 going to 3rd

HOUSTON -- Well, the Dolphins are killing themselves.

They have four turnovers, three of them on three consecutive plays. And what was a 3-0 lead after one quarter is now a 24-3 deficit here.

The Texans clicked off four turnovers in seven minutes, three on interceptions and one on a Daniel Thomas fumble. Ryan Tannehill is having major issues with deflected passes as his last two passes were deflected at the line of scrimmage and intercepted.

The live blog continues nonetheless in the comment section below.

Total self-destruction. Things couldnt have gone worse for the players, coaches, team, fans.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

I tried to jump on the Tannehill bandwagon, but come on, seriously.
How is the Kid going to develop ANYTHING when he can't get the ball over the D-Line?
Oh God! That same feeling I got on draft day is coming back.
I saw Tannehill on the sideline talking to Moore: These guys are big. How do you get the ball over the top of them?

[austin]

houston scored 21 points in 1:53 seconds.

[Jacque]

0-16?

[Raul Castro]

OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raul Castro]

Obama, ese si es mi negron!!!! 2012, compadre!!!!

[Ug]

My God. Is this pathetic excuse for a franchise ever going to be watchable again. I cant remember the last time I was excited about the NFL.

[Lebrons headband]

Trade dansby and long for some acorns

[Ziggy]

Matt Barkley here we come

[austin]

ryan might want to try a pump fake.

[superPHIN]

God, houston gets the ball back in the 2nd half first...at this rate, this is gonna be 62 pts bad and devlin might get in there before long....

[Rabbi Zachary Rothenberg]

Well i don't agree with Raul's personal beliefs, but i'm with him on this. Obama. At least that's one black guy who robs me within the law.

[JackSparrow]

You know what....Texans are a damn good team though.

I'd like to see how we play against teams of our own caliber.

[Bruce]

A world's record. Our season is over before the first half ends.

[Lebrons headband]

Barf for barkeley

[JackSparrow]

I'd like to see how we play the Jets.

[Trayvon Lives]

A Jew and a Cuban agreeing on something. Sounds like the beginning of a bar joke.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Well, I had a feeling this Defense was going to be good.

Not bad only giving up 24 points in the half. Huh? What?

Well, when you consider 4 turnovers!

[long season]

Tipped passes WTF. The first int was on the wr. No seperation. The team knew Tannehill threw low and they still drafted him.
Maybe the Texans are that good but, it really hard to give them all the credit.

[Chris in the 623]

I feel sorry for the defense. They were put in some bad positions..and made them worse.

[JackSparrow]

PS...Jets and Pats looking good....again.

Bills and Miami looking bad...again.

[Lebrons headband]

With ryan we suck
In matt we trust

[P.a yuengs-n-wings]

there are no teams like us

[Fin 77]

Tannehill is an INT MACHINE! Put Moore IN!!!!!!

[superPHIN]

Depressing thing about this game for Dolphins is Houston isn't playing great. It's just that Miami is imploding. about a minute ago

....Armando, thats what no offense will do to a team that doesnt strecth the field and only does quick snaps and out routes to receivers that have little to no seperation....You are what your level of talent shows and offensively, we are more than challenged....tannehill might throw 45 ints for the season at this rate

[DieHard]

I actually started watching when we were up 3-0 - should have just gone back to the beach as nothing worth watching anymore

[#1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal]

Armando, how does Vegas look like now? Still freakin' out?

[TanneSupporter]

please stop overreacting its really annoying.

i love how a Rookie QB has a few tipped passed for picks and people throw him under the bus and say hes a bust when people said he looked so good to start.

please shut up, the people on this blog are such cry babies

[John Wang, II]

Werl, i aggri that the DORPHRINS rar not a goor treim. Der no grood. Obama 2012, by der wrey.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Im afraid we maybe witnessing Ireland's 8th overall pick qb going total bust right before our very eyes. Could it be 2nd coming of Ryan Leaf?

[austin]

the defense is pretty good....other than the fact that marshall doesn't know how to play the ball

the offense is just as bad as advertised, though one has to say that if garrard was the qb, this could very well be a tied game.

[P.a yuengs-n-wings]

shut up tanne

[ld124]

Little unfair for the rookie QB. Texan's adjusted pretty quickly to the total and very obvious lack of outside threats by sitting down on every route and by just having the dl read Tannehill's eyes. He just does'nt have the experience and no weapons at all.

[Jay]

Well, we'll take our place in the cellar in week 1 and stay there all season. Can we please FIRE IRESCUM NOW?

[JackSparrow]

“I didn’t see a huge separation between Griffin and Ryan at the time,” Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland told King last week. “I just didn’t see it.”

SEE IT NOW IDIOT??!?!?!?!

[cocoajoe]

The question is, can Tannehill be coached to get some arc on the ball?

[tony in miami]

i DON'T THINK THE ACTUAL DC HAS A CLUE ABOUT WHAT TO DO IN ZONE COVERAGES

[Lebrons headband]

Go heat baby

[Billy Joe Jim Bob Maynard Jr.]

Ya'll knaw how da Fins can impru? Da black dudes need to pretend their playing against da po-po. That'll get em runnin'. Just like 1862. Gary Johnson, fellas. Google 'em. All dey!

[FIRE IRELAND NOW !!!]

ARMANDO HAS A GREAT JOB WHICH MOST OF US WOULD LOVE TO HAVE, BUT I IMAGINE THE LOSING AND THE LOSING LOCKER ROOMS IS A DRAG.
HANG IN THERE MANDO.
PHINS WILL GET IT RIGHT ONE OF THESE YEARS.

[monte]

Tannehill is WORSE then Henne!! YIKES!!

[Pete]

The game ain't over. We can still win.

[FED UP PHINS FAN]

Half the blame goes on play calling as well... All the WRs are running is 5 yard slants!!!!!... The DBs are sitting on every thing cause they know what's coming....

[Gregg L]

BENCH TANNEHILL!

[Yesterday'sGone]

Even more ironic, it isnt the tipped passes themselves, the same player tipped 4 passes. The one Fasano caught could easily have been a pick.

Same player has really picked up on Tannehill's delivery.

[Ziggy]

All the points were off turnovers. Ireland traded all of our assets and our "firepower" in return wasn't even worth it. Zero threats at receiver no one to double cover= pass rush city.

[TanneSupporter]

P.a yuengs-n-wings

shut the hell up cry baby

[cocoajoe]

Get a clue Pete, game over

[austin]

this wasn't the ideal scenario to have tannehill start the season.....if only garrard could watch his kids without tearing cartiledge.

[Angry Elf]

This is on the coaches upstairs. They shouldn't be calling quick slants against this defense. Help the rookie out!

[DISGUSTED]

Different year same garbage.

[#1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal]

The Dolphins have a good d-line, good linebackers and a good RB in Reggie Bush. That's it. The rest is crap. I don't care what anyone says. Rebuilding is an understatement. Problem is the guy rebuilding didn't know how to build in the first place.

[andyk]

Ireland is a much bigger issue than Tannehill

[JackSparrow]

WHY DON'T THEY PUT GARRARD IN?

OH WAIT...NEVER MIND.

MAYBE VONTAE WILL STEP UP IN THE SECOND HALF...OH WAIT...NEVER MIND.

MARSHALL IS A PRETTY GOOD SECOND HALF GUY...MAYBE HE MIGHT...OOPS, NEVER MIND.

[austin]

well said montreal.

[Kris]

“I didn’t see a huge separation between Griffin and Ryan at the time,” Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland told King last week. “I just didn’t see it.”

SEE IT NOW IDIOT??!?!?!?!

LOL.......

[oscar canosa]

Tannehill and Philbin SUCK BAD!

[cocoajoe]

Didn't agree with starting Tannehill but now Philbin will look like a fool if he pulls him

[TanneSupporter]

Alright, i'm kidding i hate the Dolphins. Not as much as myself though. I still have those Buffalo Bob issues. Obama 2012!!!3#@$4432!1!1!!%5353!!!

[Ellutzzzo]

I'm amazed about how moronic many of you can be.

Wait. Just wait, would you? Darn attitude of people jumping out of the wagon at the first obstacle faced.

Boring all of you.
