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.
"Sean Smith is like a new man"
G,
Another player who seems to be reborn the last few weeks. Nice to have a REAL HC for a change.

special teams mistakes have created two scores so far this year.
Tebow's 4th down fake punt on jets 25 yd line and Jones not being aware of ball's location today
If fins lose by three points or less, who's to blame?
The ST coach and/or specific player(s)?

I saw Long playing TERRIBLE!
It was embarrassing being a Michigan Fan. No sour grapes, just stating the fact. Somethings wrong with the Big Guy!
Not Good!

Reggie Bush is being diminished they don't like his running style. You have to live with his negative runs but he will break the big one give him the ball he needs touches

I may have to stop starting Reggie on my fantasy team, huge upside, just not as consistent as last year with injuries.

We're away, recovering from a heartbreak loss (in fact 2 of them), it's colder than we like, and the officiating has been questionable. Plus 2 costly fumbles.
And we're leading 7-6.
Ya gotta say our coaches did their job, and our team is working hard.
This will ALL pay off down the road.
The AFC East will be an open thing next year, even with the awesome TE's the the Patsies have...not to mention Brady.
Our D is better than theirs, and a big corner in the draft will do wonders.

AGAIN DOLFANS,
A PERFECT PLAYCALLER DOES NOT EXIST. THERE'RE ALL GREAT PLAYS WHEN THEY WORK AND ALL LOUSY PLAYS WHEN THEY DONT WORK.
EXECUTION IS 99% OF A PLAY CALL'S SUCCESS.

no aggressiveness=no wins!!!
Miami doesnt play it safe, they play to lose which is why they only nurse a mathodical one point lead...they should be up by two scores but again they dont like to finish games or teams when they are down...

Really ?? Play calling isn't an issue? Look back the Jets game in overtime and the Cardinals game under 3:00 to play and tell me it's not play calling! DICK HEAD

On Bush,
Still early. A runner like Bush becomes more dangerous in the 2nd half when the d begins to tire and become a step slower. Then a runner with his ability has the potential to gain 100yds in a single half.
Dolfans think every game is won on a single play, half, or qtr. In the nfl, it takes "4trs" to win a football game.

Why does it take so long for new blogs to show up?
Posted by: h8dpats | October 07, 2012 at 02:39 PM
@sick of this....say all you want about playcalling but vs the Jets it all came to a FG missed. Against the Cards we were up and Tannehill passed for 400+. That tells you Sherman adjusted correctly and made the calls to let Tanne take advantage of the Cards D.
So is it Sherman fault that offense can get 1 freaking yard on a run?
Posted by: Arturo | October 07, 2012 at 02:40 PM
Bush= 2.9 yd/ave
Thomas= 2.5 yd/ave
Will Miller play in 2nd half??
T-hill = 7 completions out of 10 attempts
10.1 yd/ave
101 yds total
Will T-hill be allowed to light it up?
Posted by: Swamy | October 07, 2012 at 02:40 PM
Well we will see if the defense stop the offense when it counts, and we score TD in the red zone! No turn overs please
LETS GO PHINS. LETS WIN THIS GAME
