CINCINNATI -- The Dolphins have played terrible so far.
They've committed two turnovers. They've missed tackles. They have been their own worst enemy.
And yet they only trail 6-0. Consider that a blessing because it could be much worse.
We'll see if the team can turn things around. The live blog continues in the comments section below. Join me there.
Jon I think Ireland loses his job no matter what. Philbin obviously running things. Best he can with Ireland's talent

TD from this drive
Posted by: ncfinfan33 | October 07, 2012 at 01:55 PM
Jon,
Like Armando's said before, as long as Tannehill plays well, Ireland keeps his job even if winning 4-5 games.
Ireland's job is directly linked to how Tannehill himself plays. Plus this year's rookie class is making a decnt contribution thus far. Take away Lane's fumble today and Egnew thus far inactiveness.

Armando,
The disconcerting thing the play calling of Sherman. I know the need to probe and see what might work for later in the game, but when something is working he seems to go away from it. The defense has kept this game from getting ugly.

We are in this game on the road. We are a touchdown away from taking the lead. I really like our defense. They are putting a lot of pressure on the QB and are awesome against the run. Ireland has done a great job of building this defense.
If Ireland can find one more receiver and another TE our days of misery may be over soon. And in my opinion we found the most important position of all a franchise QB.

Lane trying to redeem himself...Good catch and run
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 01:55 PM
Good play call.
Posted by: Powhitetrash | October 07, 2012 at 01:55 PM
G, Ireland is a huge part of the problem!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:56 PM
Pass to Lane a nicely designed play
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:56 PM
The owner is at fault.
Posted by: g | October 07, 2012 at 01:56 PM
Yeh, the Ireland rant is getting old. He is about on par with the 25+ other GMs and their average teams.

Reincarnate Joe Robbie

"Just a question for you guys. Would you rather Miami win 4-5 games and that result in Ireland losing his job? Or would you rather Miami win 8-9 games, miss the playoffs, but Ireland retains his job?"
Jon,
First of all there's NO WAY this team is not winning 8 games this year.
I'm all for building around Tannehill with a GM that can do a better job of CONSISTENTLY finding good players.
Thank God for Coach Sherman & Tannehill.

Owner should have fired him last year. Cant blame Ireland for nt being fired
Posted by: g | October 07, 2012 at 01:57 PM
Jake Long sucks this year...Badly...

CLAY!!!!
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 01:57 PM
Yeah guys, I'm thinking Ireland's job is safe because of T-Hill too. It just makes me SMH because he is so mediocre at his job. I think it's a mistake to intrust him with such an important draft and free agency this year.
Posted by: Jon | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
Clay!!
Posted by: Powhitetrash | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
That TD down the seam play has been missing. Dolphins need much, much more of that.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
That throw was a thing of BEAUTY THERE!
Posted by: Chase | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
Wow! Every OC we bring to Miami will be accused of bad play calling no matter what.
When will you guys stop "parroting" and realize there's no such thing as a perfect play caller? When will you wake up and realize Tannehill can change plays at the line?
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
first big play by Clay!
Posted by: Swamy | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
Great catch. Clay sighting
Posted by: g | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
What a throw by Tannehill...This kid keeps on getting better...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
Clay amazing!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:58 PM
Like Armando's said before, as long as Tannehill plays well, Ireland keeps his job even if winning 4-5 games.
YG,
4 or 5 wins??? When did Armando say that???
Posted by: We Have RB's | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
The TE is the most logical and lethal weapon in the red zone. Finally seeing the Dolphin use it today.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
As a testament to how stupid Henne was, look at how often tanne reads and changes plays at line.
Posted by: popncaps551 | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
Lookin Good! No turn overs! Please God!
Posted by: Powhitetrash | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
There is hope. Can we punch it in?
Posted by: g | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
What a pass and catch to Clay!!!
Finally...CLAY.
That catch may be his turning point. Maybe get Clay in the Red Zone offense.
BTW, the corrector ENGLISH spelling is DEFENSE.
Canadian or not.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
Good run there on first.. Need to punch this in
Posted by: Chase | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
One score from being in the leas
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 07, 2012 at 01:59 PM
Got to punch it in here...No freakin'FG...

FINALLY D THOMAS does his job!
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 02:00 PM
Is there a Dolphin fan that REALLY thinks Tannehill is not legit????
Posted by: We Have RB's | October 07, 2012 at 02:00 PM
Nice cutback by Thomas. TD.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 02:00 PM
Hell yeah!

Posted by: Chase | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
All That BS AND WE'RE UP!
Posted by: The Biocentric | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Now this is the type of play we can have when not "beating orselves". 7pts Miami!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
This team is so smart and well-coached.
Posted by: Buzzard's Luck | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
TOUCHDOWN!!! maybe D.Thomas is worth keeping after all!
GO DOLPHINS!!
Posted by: dolfanSF | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
48...go-go...TD!
Posted by: Direland | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
7 wipes out 6! Nay sayers!If not for the stupid Javorski fumble we are showing ability to move on offense.
Go Phins!
Posted by: Martin | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Awesome our defense is keeping us in it and we are now in the lead.
Posted by: richard3000 | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Tannehill showed great leadership on that drive. Balls of steel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Tannehill is looking better every week. Good times are headed our way.
Yes, TD. There you go complainers. We just took the lead on the road against 3-1 team that made the playoffs last year.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 07, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Carpenter is not bad. Just had a couple of rough games. Remember how great he was a couple years ago?
Posted by: g | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
Thomas and Clay haters LOL
Posted by: B33RCA53 | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
Nice drive by Tannehill great pose. He does have the it factor. Greatness is starting to come out! Man guts imagine some real weapon on this team!
Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
We have rb's : only bandwagon fans think that. True fans can see we have a Qb and coach we can hang our hats on for a long time. We are on our way back week by week!
Posted by: qbclub13 | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
Thomas & Clay redeeming themselves for a day. It's about freaking time!!!!
Posted by: We Have RB's | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
AwwwwRightMiami!!!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 02:02 PM
This is the part where the d allows the opponent to march downfield and easily score. Lets see if this changes.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 02:03 PM
The fins up against the Bengals and the ref's!
