CINCINNATI -- Something's different today.
The season has changed in that the weather is officially turning to Fall. It's jacket weather here -- in the 40s, gray overcast. It just feels like football weather.
The season has changed in that pretty soon the Dolphins either have to start winning some games or we're going to be discussing free agency and the draft as primary topics. In other words, as I asked in my column today, can the Dolphins salvage the season?
Players say yes. We'll see.
The inactives today are something of a surprise in that Jabar Gaffney is inactive. That is a disappointment because he's supposed to be a veteran upgrade at WR. He's healthy. Saw him working in warmups. Obviously, something didn't click in that he is not playing today.
Marlon Moore may have something to do with this. He's been inactive the past couple of weeks so he's back today. That frees him and Anthony Armstrong for WR work today.
The other inactives are Pat Devlin, Richard Marshall, Will Yeatman, Michael Egnew and Rishard Matthews. Carroll starts for the injured Marshall.
The live blog is coming also. It starts in the comments section at kickoff.
Ok so I thought the cinci game was gonna be on cbs since they are at home and brownies are away against the giants but no. gotta watch the giants crush em in the rain.Crap.

This year just feels deifferent. Not just because we lost two games that we woulda,shoulda, coulda, won but because the whole team seems to be headed in the right direction.

Bengals differ coin flip to Fins.

We need smith to shadow green all day! give em safety help over the top. we'll shut down their run and make someone else beat us. On O we just gotta keep running. especially in the fourth. we gotta figure out a way to finish games. we're really not that far off

Armando,
Turnovers are a big deal every game. LOL

Looks like the Bengals are going to try and force Reggie to run inside. Looks like they are trying to over play the edge a little.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:05 PM
Bush is dancing too much!
Posted by: beatthebengals | October 07, 2012 at 01:05 PM
Except you said DEFENSE Mandy...However, that first drive was pathetic
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 01:05 PM
Great start!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:05 PM
Jake long faltering
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 07, 2012 at 01:05 PM
First play usually sets the tone of the game. I'm think blowout again.
Posted by: JackSparrow | October 07, 2012 at 01:06 PM
Great start...not.
We're gonna get carved.
Carroll will be the target.
Lets get a PICK!
woo hoo sack!!!!!
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:06 PM
I really like the dolphins offense. From the offensive line to the running backs to the receivers and fasano is alright.
Posted by: richard3000 | October 07, 2012 at 01:06 PM
Exactly as I thought. Gang up on the run and get the pressure on Tannehjill on 3rd and long.
Since obviously they are going to force Bush to run inside. We need a big back running inbetween the tackles, beit Thomas or Lane.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Joe Philbin apparently not aware an in the grasp rule is not reviewable.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
Reggie won't last the season going up the middle. I think he knows that.
Posted by: JackSparrow | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
bad call
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
bring back the replacement refs.... LOL joking
Posted by: beatthebengals | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
Tannehill fault on that sack. He didn't have to step up, or maybe it was a QB draw!
Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
That was a fumble
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 07, 2012 at 01:08 PM
Hi Armando & everyone another blog, another game, another Victory - I hope- ...Go Dolphins!!!!
Posted by: tony in Miami | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
Jake has not be his old self so far this year!
Posted by: ray | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
No idea what the Dolphin just did but it looked like Karlos Dansby was playing a hypbrid safety spot.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
Great coverage on that
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
Why challenge when you D just sacked the QB? Big gamble to lose a TO on a 50/50 chance.
Posted by: JackSparrow | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
Smith almost!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
Smith nearly had the pick. AQlmost is great in horse shoes. But I'll take the stop.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
SMITH dropped INT...
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 01:09 PM
good job D
Posted by: Direland | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
That was stupid!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
Come on man!
Posted by: The Biocentric | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
BTW, good afternoon everyone.
Uh oh...Jones...no.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
Wow, what bad luck!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
Ruling is ball hit Reshad Jones in the leg and Burfict recovered before going out of bounds.
Play is being reviewed.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 07, 2012 at 01:10 PM
Turnovers again
BS

That was just...
Posted by: Marc | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM
Why the hell does thigpen ever come up on the ball to catch it... He always sits back!!! Terrible!!!
Posted by: fbd2707748 | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM
If they keep it, got to admit that was a pretty good heads up play.
Posted by: JackSparrow | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM
Jack, it was a possible turnover...so if it was challengeable, why not?
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM
This is such a dumb, snakebit team.

Posted by: xtremewayz7 | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM

Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:11 PM
Dolphins is their worst enemy, what a bone head mistake by these guys. My good lord!

had a baaaaad night with my canes last night.
This one is starting similarly.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 07, 2012 at 01:12 PM
It has been many years of this kind of luck. The dolphins have the worst luck i've seen in my life. The ball always baunces against them
Posted by: jtlawson5 | October 07, 2012 at 01:12 PM
I'm going to start drinking now!!
Posted by: redsky | October 07, 2012 at 01:12 PM
We are jinxed
Call Santeria priest voodoo doctor
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 07, 2012 at 01:13 PM
Not a mistake, misfortune. Noway can a guy know the ball hits him in the back when turned away from the ball. Just gotta suck it up and hold defensivelyu for 3pts.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | October 07, 2012 at 01:13 PM
This team is cursed. We really need a Babalao, lol.
