CINCINNATI -- This is a hard game to get a grasp on.
The Dolphins gave six points away in the first quarter. The Bengals had two turnovers in the second quarter and the Miami offense moved the ball very well on one drive to take a 7-6 lead at halftime.
Interesting that Nolan Carroll is holding up so far.
Cincy QB Andy Dalton is clearly not having a good day, with his accuracy way off. He has comleted 11 of 18 passes for 83 yards. Ryan Tannehill so far is the better QB in this game. He is 7of 10 for 101 yards.
The live blog continues in the comments section below. See you there.
A td here can completely change the way the d has to play Dalton. It will completely turn to:
"WHO LET THE DOGS LOOSE"!
With Cameron Wake leading the pass rush charge!

Mando why is this AP so slow for some of us to see current blogs? Third quarter just came up.

We need a score here to give us piece of mind

Let's see if Sherman learned anything from last week's poor game management (with the lead, no less).

Let's put the daggert in them. Let's score a TD on this drive and our DL can pin their ears back and come after the QB. Another score here shuts off the Bengals running game.
Let's be aggresive here and go for the TD.

Only way we lose today is with turnovers
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
I would go for the juglar 1st play of this drive!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
Yeah, we could put them away now.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
T-hill needs to put up another TD.
Posted by: Swamy | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
Need to cash in with points & step on the Bengals throats here.
Posted by: We Have RB's | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
Starks is now the #1 priority followed by S Smith and Hartline.
Posted by: B33RCA53 | October 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
We tried(go for juglar).
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 02:59 PM
Montreal,
If I could keep Long for 2-3 yrs for 9-10 I would, otherwise i would franchise him for one year and draft another tackle

gaffney been in?
Posted by: bill connors | October 07, 2012 at 02:59 PM
Dalton seems to have a tipped pass problem!
Ha!
U guys are just hysterical sometimes!
Tipped passes!
JJ watt is a beast! That was t-hills problem!
Posted by: Dashi | October 07, 2012 at 02:59 PM
We can't get conservative, but we can play smart!
Stuff it down their throats now
Posted by: odinseye | October 07, 2012 at 02:59 PM
Gaffney's inactive, bill connors.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 03:00 PM
No I put Gaffney in my fantasy and they pulled him at last minute.
Posted by: h8dpats | October 07, 2012 at 03:00 PM

Oline give Tannehill plenty of time. Doing a great job on pass protection today

Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 03:01 PM
Tanny!!
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 03:01 PM
Tannehill is looking like a veteran so far. Let's hope that we can do it for an entire game.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
No huddle now. Get the tirf
Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
You're going to have to pass to win this one
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
Lamar must be in the doghouse.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
tannehill should have seen the bengals weren't lined up properly and snapped it to the open reciever
Posted by: Reg | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
Get them tired! No huddle now
Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
wow now killing ourselves
Posted by: bill connors | October 07, 2012 at 03:02 PM
Having trouble with the internet here folks. Anyway, CArroll is back on the sideline and he grabbed his helmet suggesting he might return to the game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 03:03 PM
What illegal shift?
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 03:03 PM
Hartline looks like a COMPLETELY different player this year. Ireland needs to lock him & Starks ASAP.
Posted by: We Have RB's | October 07, 2012 at 03:03 PM
Tannehill under pressure is awesome...I'm not so sure I would blitz him so much...Reacts very well under pressure...That's the difference between Tannhehill and Henne...When Henne was under pressure in the pocket, he was AWFUL....He was a dead duck...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | October 07, 2012 at 03:03 PM
Close again
