SAN FRANCISCO -- The pace picked up a bit in the third quarter, but the Dolphins are no closer to victory. Further, actually.
The problem in the third quarter was a Marcus Thigpen fumbled punt inside his 10 yard line. The 49ers converted with a 1-yard Frank Gore TD run. Gore, by the way, has gone over 1,000 yards for the sixth time in his career.
The Dolphins answered San Francisco's TD with a field goal. Story of the year for the offense.

Tannehill misses wide open Moore
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
Why did he dive for the ball. He should have run through it.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
Yeah...Maybe the defender held him????
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
Why draft guys who are coveted coming out of college when you can fill out the roster with undrafted scrubs.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
That defensive hold saved a TD.
Tanny!
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
We should make Tanny a RB
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:21 PM
now we know why moore is a special teams player.
Posted by: austin | December 09, 2012 at 06:22 PM
No reason for Moore to dive, perfect throw
Posted by: Joey | December 09, 2012 at 06:22 PM
Tannehill looked like a real bust on that run...
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:22 PM
He neds to run more often.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:22 PM
Move Tanny to WR or trade him.
Posted by: Shula 73 | December 09, 2012 at 06:22 PM
Sigh. Tanne can never makes those passes.
Posted by: Sad Miami Guy | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
Nothing Is F'ing Wrong With T-Hill's Arm!!
HARTLINE IS JUST SLOW!! BUT GOOD!
MARLON MOORE HAS NO HANDS!!
AND DAVONE BESS IS THE SECOND BEST SLOT WR IN THE NFL NEXT TO WES WELKER! PERIOD!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
4 down territory?
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
Arm Bar, Dierdorf loves it
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
At least they are trying to go deep but Hartline just has no skills. Please sign Mike Wallace or Bowe.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
Mike Pancake!!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 06:23 PM
When was the last time we had a CB that made a play like that????
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Marlon Moore never makes tough catches.
Posted by: thepirate19 | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Hartline not the guy for that deep ball, but who else?
Great block
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Pouncy!!!
Posted by: jtlawson5 | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Don't run the ball too much. Time is running out and we need TDs.
Posted by: Oy Vey, Miami! | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Another thing that they have not done is throw to Reggie.
Pouncey is awesome.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
ENOUGH WITH BUSH UP THE MIDDLE WHEN WE ARE BEHIND@!@E*#$#Q
Posted by: Sheesh | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
I could be showering with my sister right now instead of wasting my time with the Dolphins.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
They should show some urgency
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
lets keep running the ball , we only need a couple scores
Posted by: Moore now | December 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM
a 4th rd'er and walk on are our starting wr's.
ENUFF SAID!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone $Ever! | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
Fist pump time.
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
At least our offense is getting some rest.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
That was excellent play by the CB.. great pass by Tanne and Hartline was in position to catch it.. that was just great CB play
Posted by: mattybfromnc | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
running the option down by 14?
Posted by: austin | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
The 49ers Are Playing Prevent Defense Like The Pats Last Week!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT!
The Kid Keep Learning And He Needs Some Weapons!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
Tanny could be our best WR but hes definitely not our best QB.
Posted by: Shula 73 | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
Why are we wasting time running the ball? Play calling matches the talent.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
Are we trying to just go for the FG, Sparano in the house?
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
We made such a great decision to get rid of Marshall and ocho and not try for v Jackson or bowe....not having any receiver except for slot is awesome.
Posted by: inimounts | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
Great play call by Philbin.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:25 PM
What a run by Bush...Beautiful.
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
Tannehill misses wide open Moore
Posted by: Earl
yet another dumb post!!!!!! Earl do you even have your TV switched on????
Posted by: reg | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
Moore has not always been a back up.
Moore haters = stupid.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
Too many runs
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
Thomas is completely useless
Posted by: Danny Whuerffel (Heisman Winner) | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
absolutely no imagination in the play calling.
Posted by: austin | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
i would kill for a redzone tightend
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
We never throw on 1st and goal.
Reggie has to be gassed.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
Wasting too much time
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
It is going to be tough to put the ball in the end zone against this defense.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
That deep pass to Hartline in the End Zone is exactly why we can't resign him next year. A real #1 WR makes that play.
Posted by: jpao | December 09, 2012 at 06:26 PM
How about a f#cking TD??? Someone??? Anyone???
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Thomas sucks lol
Posted by: Shula 73 | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
why thomas in there NOW???
Posted by: Danny Whuerffel (Heisman Winner) | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Stop the runs already. Time is not on our side. Good lord, what are they doing???
Posted by: Sahd56 | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Great confidence on Thill huh?
Posted by: jtlawson5 | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Thomas is a bust.
Posted by: thepirate19 | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Sorry Matty, dolphins fans have forgotten what good CB play looks like.
Keep running it up the middle, Sherman, we have time to waste.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
tun up the middle
run up the middle
run up the middle
Posted by: Sporano good | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
I hope we go on 4th
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
God hates the Dolphins.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
I would be shocked if we score.
