CINCINNATI -- Last time they were on the road, the Dolphins blew an 11-point lead. They have a 13-point lead now.
But the Bengals have the ball at the Miami 3 to start the fourth quarter and are threatening.
Can Miami hold on to win?
We'll find out as the live blog continues in the comments section. Join me there.
Once again the coaching staff makes another blunder in trusting carpenter from 50 and now the mommentum shifts to the other team in the 4th qtr....unreal, they just dont from their mistakes....

Were giving up to many gains. We have to buckle down in the fourth.
Posted by: heem502 | October 07, 2012 at 03:23 PM
guys keep the faith, i believe it was the right thing to do going for the kick. it would have meant a minimum fg on the next drive would have made it a little easier
Posted by: Reg | October 07, 2012 at 03:24 PM
Smith didnt correctly use his length advantage on that td.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:25 PM
Let the 4th Qtr meltdown begin...Oh yeah. SEAN SMITH STILL IS HORRIBLE!
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 03:25 PM
no, punting the ball to a bungals offense that have done nothing since was the smart call that wasnt!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | October 07, 2012 at 03:25 PM
Once again instead getting us points, Carpenter is costing us points.
Memo to Philbin: don't use him for anything above 45yds.

Probably we are enter in a new era or another dimension but a field gol of more of 50 yds. with a mediocre kicker and the Corners giving to much space to the recievers are we going to win games need to be in the playoff...?
Posted by: tony in Miami | October 07, 2012 at 03:25 PM
Smith is looking better, he just needs to increase his aggressiveness a little more.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
Well! Another one of those Games.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
4th quarter is looking like deja vu all over again.
Posted by: Direland | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
SEAN SMITH JUST WATCHES AJ GREEN CATCH A TD IN FRONT OF HIM!!! LOSER!!!
Posted by: Earl | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
if smith wants to be a top corner he has to bat that away like the elite corners do. clearly the bengals don't think he is elite as they are throwing in his direction regularly.
Posted by: Reg | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
YESTERDAY'S GONE.............BAD CALL TO KICK THE FG!
The team needs a win at this point. Screw the confidence of the kicker not the time to for that at this point.
Posted by: Sick of This | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
Smith doesnt seem to have enough "meanstreak" in him right now. We need his meanstreak to begin to show.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:26 PM
Not much smith could do about that. It was good coverage against a great receiver and a great throw
Posted by: Chase | October 07, 2012 at 03:27 PM
Another Crapenter missed field goal turns into points for the opposing team.
Posted by: zaphod | October 07, 2012 at 03:27 PM
every time they trust carpenter, it has backfired every week....no confidence in him with 45 plus kicks...thats just the way it is, punt the ball or go for it, but dont kick it....
Posted by: superPHIN | October 07, 2012 at 03:27 PM
Deja-Vu?
Come on, this is getting so predictably pathetic.
Is there a 3 quarter league qwe can join?
Posted by: odinseye | October 07, 2012 at 03:27 PM
I don't blame Carpenter for missing a 53 yard kick. I blame the coaching staff that trots him out there to try it.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 03:27 PM
Why can't we QB sneak on 3rd/4th and 1?
Posted by: Earl | October 07, 2012 at 03:28 PM
Whenever Smith begins to play with a meanstreak and sense of urgency, the sky will be the limits for him.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:28 PM
on first down you have to be more aggressive with the ball in the air. a pass interference wouldn't have hurt as long as he tries atleast.
Posted by: B33RCA53 | October 07, 2012 at 03:28 PM
Well, here it comes.
Sherman had better be on his game now, and tanny MUST protect the ball.
If we lose this game, PHILBIN MUST BE QUESTIONED.
he's done a nice job getting the team ready, but 3 straight games of game mismanagement...bad as Sparano. Different, but just as bad.

CLAY!!!!!!1 UGH!
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 03:28 PM
The good ol'Smith showing up late in the game and now...Clay...Unreal...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Exactly why Clay has had a tough time with playing time.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
We're starting to unravel....Oy vey.
Posted by: Dan | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Armando would you have blamed the coaches if he'd have made the kick???? that's why you write and they play!!!!!!
Posted by: Reg | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
We have to come up with points on this drive-PERIOD!
If not, you might as well make a Beer Run for the 4;00 games.
Posted by: odinseye | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
He dropped it comenon
Posted by: heem502 | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Wow if Clay catches that cleanly its prolly a TD... Terrible...
Posted by: Chase | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Win the 4th Quarter...win the game...plain and simple..
Posted by: Buster | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Typical Dolphins 4th quarter football...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
TYPICAL FINS AFTER A SCORE, 3N OUT
Posted by: Earl | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Charles Cay-catch-then drop-why don't we have quality TE's?
Why won'tthey let Lamar Miller run-why-why-wwhy
Posted by: David | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Maybe NOT Clay.
What a shame. great physical tools, apparently no heart.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 03:29 PM
Time for T-hill to take charge.
It's pretty even on total yds
233 - fins
218 - bengals

Hands of stone clay
Posted by: Lebrons headband | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
People!
The defense was playing great! If they would've done the job Cindy would've went 3&out! Not score a td!
That was on the defense!
Posted by: Dashi | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Were starting to look uninspired on offense o god
Posted by: heem502 | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
a few ball players do not have the baaaalllllllss to play the game
Posted by: tony in Miami | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
I was surprised when Clay caught one in the 1st qtr.
Three and out time.
Posted by: AKGUY | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Surprise! Momentum goes to the other team. Dan "I ruin our momentum and chances of winning" carpenter
Posted by: MiamiD20 | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
The d has to respond. They can not lead the implosion. No execuses!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Once again 4th QT playcalling will lose us this game. No time taken off and stupid plays
Posted by: Joey | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Adjust to their offense now.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
WE WILL LOSE THIS GAME
Posted by: Earl | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Who the hell is Charles Clay and why the hell are we passing to him? Where is Bess? (Sorry, I've missed the first three quarters so I'm coming into this late).
Posted by: zaphod | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Dropped by Fields! Animal.
Posted by: Angry Elf | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
Bengals player of the game = Cam Philbin.
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | October 07, 2012 at 03:30 PM
4TH QUARTER MELTDOWN!!!1 WOOOHHOOOO, TYPICAL CRAP
Posted by: Earl | October 07, 2012 at 03:31 PM
Is Dan Carpenter the catalyst of disaster?
Posted by: B33RCA53 | October 07, 2012 at 03:31 PM
Take the ball away + score
Posted by: David | October 07, 2012 at 03:31 PM
