Bills lead Dolphins 19-7 going to third quarter

BUFFALO -- Well, the Dolphins are still waiting for their offense to show up to this late game.

The Dolphins first first down came on a Bills encroachment penalty in the second quarter. They have not crossed midfield in the first half. They have only 50 total yards on offense.

Nolan Carroll has three penalties, including two pass intereference calls, that have cost the Dolphins 51 yards.

And so the Bills lead 19-7 but it feels much worse because the Bills have dominated.

The second half starts soon. The live blog continues now in the comments section.

[YIKES]

All our 1st downs are by penalty.

[Earl]

I think it is safe to say that Stephen Ross has no idea how to run an NFL franchise

AMEN

[Zaphod]

So what's that 15-20 yards on encroachment?

[Kris]

That @ND hit probably gave Thomas a CONCUSSION....

[Earl]

WHY ARE WE RUNNING?

[The Fins Suck]

We cant run vs the worst and second worst running defense in the NFL.

This is pathetic. Holy crap.

[Jon]

If John Jerry makes that block, it's a big gain

[sagneul]

Nop its not fair to say that RT is worse than Henne... cause he´s a rookie... but right now he´s strugling and miami does with him

[tehrlich7]

Thomas turns his back too much

[Orlando Dolphan]

Horrible pass.

[Chase]

Has anyone noticed whenever Tanne is under center and audibles a bunch of times its always a run???

[nyfinfan]

WIDE OPEN Clay!

[Kris]

2nd hit

[The Seer]

Worthwhile point DC Dolfan.............but I think we might have already seen enough.

Look.....they took a flier when the effed up Luck/RGIII....and that flier has crashed and burned.

Cant fire the owner....but he can fire the lot....Ireland & Casper Philbin a/k/a Milquetoast. Hire A real GM, not a ball-boy, and let him get a coach.

[Stra8balla]

Stretch play with Daniel the fullback Thomas who runs through the wrong hole and to the defender.

[bill connors]

bills not worst d in league, that was problay last week vs tenn

[DC Dolfan]

Wide open, guess that was on the oline, huh ATL?

[Andrew]

That's a freaking AWFUL throw by Tannehill.

[Zaphod]

Sympathy flag.

[sagneul]

flags strats coming on our side!!

[Zaphod]

We're almost in field goal range.

[The Seer]

Moore now, Moore 4eva

[Kris]

@ least help your QB back up Richie....

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES WE CHANGE THE DAM SNAP COUNT....

[Earl]

PLAYING FOR THE FG = LOSERS

[The Fins Suck]

STOP RUNNING THE ISO RUN OFF THE CENTER AND GUARD.

IT DOESNT WORK

[Andrew]

Three man rush, they get pressure. Two first round picks, a second and a third on the offensive line and they still stink. For that alone, Ireland should be gone.

[dayne]

reggie in the doghouse again

[Art]

Tannehill & Philbin is the best thing that ever happened here. It's just about everyone else who cannot man up!

[nyfinfan]

Get ready for a Miss

[Kris]

LOL....

[Earl]

CARPENTER FLAILS AGAIN

[Zaphod]

Welcome back Crapenter!

[superPHIN]

no philbin, u dont get bailed out for having a sorry offense.....NO FG FOR YOU!!!!

[Earl]

WANNY PITCHING A SHUTOUT

[NWFLPhins]

FG attempt........... it's no good

[Sean]

It's too bad ownership doesn't listen to the fans. Ireland should have been fired when Sparano was canned. I wonder what Ireland does behind the scenes to keep his job?

[bill connors]

carp trying a 50 yarder in buffalo, hilarious

[dayne]

nyfinfan called it haha this team blows

[YIKES]

Fire Cam Philbin NOW!

[Zaphod]

I'm envious ... I want to see that chick's video she sent to her "husband" ... better than this hell hole game!

[DC Dolfan]

Don't blame Carpenter for that. That's TOTALLY on Philbin. Carpenter is NOT a long-distance FG kicker. How many times does he have to prove that? Philbin, you're an idiot. Should have gone for it on 4th down.

[IMAWriter]

Some of these posts are from pure idiots.
Fire the coach.
Tannehill sucks etc...
Morons.

[h8dpats]

We need better screen plays

[Andrew]

Terrible decision to kick a field goal. Even if you make it, you are still down two scores. That's an easy decision to go for it for a coach with a brain.

Philbin just not doing his job either.

[fsdabus]

We need 52 new players next year. I keep Fields and thats about it.

[ATLFinFan]

Wow DC, one wide open pass he misses after all this?? Yea, that's on the O-line!! the guy is frigin' shell shocked right now. Seriously, end it.

[TanneSupporter]

pathetic this team is done. This is getting really bad i keep giving them chances but man this is really hard to watch i think that kick seals it for me. Why even kick the FG? Whats the point?

[Sean]

Missed field goal. Surprised anyone?

[KS]

Why are we kicking there. Need 2 TD's to get game. No point in making it 19-10!

[nyfinfan]

LOL Zaphod!

[The Seer]

The Ghost of Fist-Pump & Take-a-knee-Wannstache have possessed Mike Sherman.

Shameful...playing for fg like you have a real team.....GO FOR IT EVERY TIME!!!

[sagneul]

here comes Carpenter's show.... Carpenter is 27 of 32 kickers in %FG thisn season... and sinking

[bill connors]

agree on that, carp is awful . he had no chance at that. but 4th and 7 with this offense might as well be 4th and 50

[Kris]

Reggie Bush will be ELSEWHERE next year taking SCREEN PASSES to the HOUSE.....and
busting STUDENT BODY SWEEPS for 60 YARDS.....

and he will call these last two season's a BAD DREAM.....MUCH LIKE MARSHALL....

[fsdabus]

Heat game started guys!

[Zaphod]

We fail in every stage of the game. Hell, I bet the hot dog vendors at Sunlife stadium suck, too!

[Stra8balla]

Fins will sink to last play in the AFC East. At years end even the Jets will surpass us. Watching this offense is like watching paint dry. You don't even get the feeling that the Fins can even move the chains a few times in a drive.

[72perfectstill]

Pathetic coaching decision to kick a 50 yard field goal at this point in game
Looking like Sporano

[nydolfan19]

If carpenter isn't gone after this season.....ill kill myself

[IMAWriter]

You kick the fg there idiots.
