INDIANAPOLIS -- The Dolphins offense slowed down in the third quarter.
The Colts did not.
The Colts got a touchdown on a 36-yard pass from Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton in the quarter to give them a 20-17 lead. The Dolphins, meanwhile, punted twice.
This game will be down to the wire. As they all have been.

Gaffney HAS to catch that!!!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | November 04, 2012 at 03:37 PM
Gaffney, catch is bro
Posted by: Jon | November 04, 2012 at 03:37 PM
Need a td to kep the pressure on Luck and the Colts offense.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | November 04, 2012 at 03:37 PM
Gotta score a TD bc luck ain't done abusing our secondary.
Posted by: Andrew | November 04, 2012 at 03:37 PM
Gaffney drops another one.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | November 04, 2012 at 03:37 PM
Oh. Butterfingers.

C'mon Gaffney...

Fist pump time

Why do we throw so many screens on third and long? They never work. It's like giving up on the drive.
Posted by: Andrew | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
not a fan of the3 step drop under tanne....
he seems more comfortable with the 5
Posted by: Kris | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
not sure you can blame gaffney on his own for that
Posted by: Reg | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
Those weren't very catchable balls. Sure they COULD have caught them, but, still not great passes
Posted by: Marc | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
Funny we don't hear too many 'cut Carpenter' comments these days. Where did those guys go?
Posted by: Craig M | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
This is going to be a great finish but we need to score TDs.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
This team isn't done yet GO Dolphins !
Posted by: Ignignokt | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
At least the team doesn't celebrate FG's like publishers clearing house just rolled up to their door anymore
Posted by: Jon | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
That was a great playcall on that screen
Posted by: heem502 | November 04, 2012 at 03:38 PM
Tied-now sack Luck-intercept-don't deflect-special teams defense
Posted by: David | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
throw for the end zone!!!
Posted by: jpao | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Can we see Matthews! Gaffney can be a vet! But he has always had a problem with catching the easy ones! Ask the pats!
Posted by: Dashi | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
F#cking Gaffney HAS to catch that ball.
Posted by: We Have RB's | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
If Gaffney keeps on dropping the ball, he'll be joining Anthony Armstrong soon...
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Bad play calls, but at least we got sumthin.
Posted by: Danny boy | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Well, lucky Carpenter hasn't had to kick a long one lately.
Posted by: Marc | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
3pts still a moral victory on this drive. Its now or never for the d step here. Smith needs to redeem himself with a pick 6 td at some point this qtr.
Someone on d needs step and make a very huge play.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Ok. Tied up 20-20 fourth quarter. Have to blitz and get to Luck this next possession.
They've tried the bend dont break, and it's not working. Or maybe catch one of these possible INT's?
Posted by: Mike d | November 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Kris,
Tannehill would be scrambled eggs if he used the 5 step drop today. The O-line can't get it done
Posted by: Jon | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
not sure you can blame gaffney on his own for that
Reg,
It was right in his hands!!! He has to make that catch.
Posted by: We Have RB's | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
We will have shot at INT, need to make it.
Posted by: KS | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Gaffney dropped those at Gainesville?
I'd do nothing but throw long to him at this point.
OK, lets see if the good guys can hold on to an INT
Posted by: IMAWriter | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
20-20 boys...on the road...with our D playing poorly.
Fins are in it again.....lets see if we can pull it out.
This is a huge opportunity for this team. They pull it out and confidence skyrockets!
They don't and this team goes backward.
Posted by: jpao | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Andrew Luck has thrown 39 passes. He WILL throw an INT.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Our D is due!!!!
Posted by: jweamer | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Dashi,
Your comment @3:39 pm is RIDICULOUS! Gaffney's always been known for a good hands. Check his numbers from last year. Don't make crap up!
Posted by: Craig M | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
nice push them back, now step up d
Posted by: bill connors | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Tanne seems to be more a read and see what develops kinda QB....
On these 2 step drops...the ball is suppose to come out...1 read and fire....
he seems to rush those....
Posted by: Kris | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Big penalty...Wow!!
Posted by: #1 Dolphin Fan in Montreal | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
How bout a sack strip fumble by wake
Posted by: Lebrons headband | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Turnover time.
Posted by: KBrad | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
WE NEED A TURNOVER
Posted by: nydolfan19 | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
Agreed!
If it hits ur hands! Catch it!
Bring the rookie in!
Posted by: Dashi | November 04, 2012 at 03:40 PM
D desperately needs to step up now. C'mon, play mad. Play mean. Play hungry.
Posted by: 48-Go | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Yes Armando, agree!
Posted by: jweamer | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Somebody said earlier O has to win it. Too right, D hasn't done it today
Posted by: cocoajoe | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Maybe if we actually tried to pick up long third downs we could. Seems to work for Indy. Sherman being a wuss.
Posted by: Andrew | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Danny boy,
Any play that doesnt work is a bad play call. Im sure thats "your view, right?
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Look a head coach of the Dolphins being involved in strategy with the QB and his coach-how logical-and unseen in decades!
Posted by: David | November 04, 2012 at 03:41 PM
dashi - that was not an easy catch for gaffney.
craig m - don't put the kiss of death on carpenter as this game might come down to him if we can slow luck down aswell
