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.

Tanne is horrendous. What a bunch of lousy calls.

Who was he throwing to?
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Unbelievably terrible play calling

Thomas and R Brown vs 3rd round Gore
:]

Run, run, with Daniel Thomas, our worse rb? Really?
Posted by: inimounts | December 09, 2012 at 06:28 PM
Lol that rollout play is so telegraphed. Every defender saw it coming a mile away. Sherman is awful.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:28 PM
How is it that Philbin/Sherman run up the middle SO FREAKING MUCH WHEN BEHIND?????????????????????????????
Posted by: Sheesh | December 09, 2012 at 06:28 PM
God still hates the Dolphins.

THE WORST OFFENSE IN THE NFL..................
BESS SHOILD RETIRE WITH FASANO,,,,
Posted by: ALoco | December 09, 2012 at 06:28 PM
Fasano corner catch pt deux.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
Great throw and catch....TD!!!
Posted by: jpao | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
TD!!
THE KNEE WAS DOWN!!
WE ARE DROPPING KNEES!! ON THE 49ers!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
TD, a TD!!!! It only took 6 quarters!!!!
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
Finally...A play from one of our TE's!!!
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
One knee equals two feet.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
difference is fumbled punt giving them 7
Posted by: Danny Whuerffel (Heisman Winner) | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
1 knee = 2 feet
Posted by: jszach | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
Dierdorf is such a blowhard. Of course that TD was good.
Posted by: Oy Vey, Miami! | December 09, 2012 at 06:29 PM
I am shocked we scored. Great pass and catch. T-Hill has a future in this league.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Two balls = One nut.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
More a Fasano TD than a Tanne TD
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
I'd still like to see a QB draw on 3rd and goal from the 4..worked last week.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
What a catch by Jersey's shore
Posted by: jtlawson5 | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
That was a low percentage football play and we got lucky with the only player on the field that catches tds.
Posted by: inimounts | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Dierdorf trying to lobby for no TD, what an ass
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Holy crap! Whew.
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
So telling that it takes a literally inch perfect throw/diving catch to score one stupid touchdown.
In before the defense responds by letting SF drive down the field with no resistance.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Tanne-thrill
Posted by: phins 'n skins | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
Andrew... I know.. we used to have some shut down corners.. Madison.. Surtain..
Posted by: mattybfromnc | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
great thrrow by T-Hill and even better catch by Fasano!!!!!!!!! took some nerve to put that touch on the ball just enough
Posted by: reg | December 09, 2012 at 06:30 PM
The first "GRONK" impersonation from Fasano since he's been a dolphin.
THAT CATCH WAS PHENOMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone $Ever! | December 09, 2012 at 06:31 PM
Tanne needs to learn the art of the pump fake
Posted by: grummantiger | December 09, 2012 at 06:31 PM
I'd still like to see my wife's grandma naked.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:31 PM
Nice PLAY! I'm so happy I can give it all up IN UR MOUTH!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:31 PM
So at this rate, we might score our next TD against Buffalo?
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:31 PM
It's common sense that bess and hartline can play, but not on the same team. Slot receiver, and we need a 1 and a 2.
Posted by: inimounts | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
Well, you CAN'T say we don't go down fighting!
Lets get a turnover...
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
nice td. Dierdorf was just stating what everyone was thinking. No way. But Fasano made a great play. Not a bad throw from Tanne. We have a chance and they don't have any timeouts. This may get exciting if the d can hold up. Take your 5 hour energy boys. Ya need em now.
Posted by: klndry | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
WHAT WOULD DANSBY DO?
NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
This would be a great time for a forced turnover. Of course, our defense doesn't have that function.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
lol now that Tanne has a TD the I HATE TANNE trolls come out and give all the credit to Fasano.. Great catch no doubt but he puts it where only Fasano can catch it...
On the 3rd down play.. why not play action? Why shotgun ?
Posted by: mattybfromnc | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
What a drive on a top-tier D!!! Now we need the fins D to make a game changing play right here!! Take advantage of Kaepernick inexperience....
Posted by: robbyhernz | December 09, 2012 at 06:32 PM
Now the defense has to reach back and play strong. It won't mean anything unless we can come up with a big stop.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
In case you are wondering, Odrick and Wake are on the field this week with 7:49 to play.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
Do we lead the league in fewest turnovers forced?
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
Well here it is, let's see what this defense is made of. We've been here before, but I hope they stand up this time! we need a stop badly.
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
If I AIM WELL, I can give it all up IN MI MOUTH!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
@6:31!!
U KNOW I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!
BUT DASHI DID CALL THIS TD!!
NOW THE COMEBACK?
WHAT WOULD DANSBY DO?
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
"Lol now that Tanne has a TD the I HATE TANNE trolls come out and give all the credit to Fasano.. Great catch no doubt but he puts it where only Fasano can catch it...

MattyB,
Totally. Tannehill deserves none of the credit right???
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:33 PM
Here comes game winning, time killing drive.
Posted by: Earl | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
LOL @ Armando,
Had to point that out. Well this week it's crunch time LOL
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Can the D hold? Doubt it.
Posted by: Dan | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Now defense please
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Why does everyone hate on Sherman when philbin wanted to trade Marshall and cut ocho? Marshall has more tds than all our receivers combined.
Posted by: inimounts | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Andrew you moan T-Hill doesn't throw a TD, then when he does you still sound like a F**king retard. If you applauded good plays then maybe when you talk about the bad ones people 'might' just might listen to you. As it is you haven't got a clue!!!!!!
Posted by: reg | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
If Marlon Moore could catch, Tanny would have had TD 3 minutes ago...
Posted by: KS | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Smith another Ireland bust
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 06:34 PM
Let's see our defense step up in the 4th quarter.
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 06:35 PM
Why is Sean Smith fifteen yards off the ball? Get aggressive Coyle!
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 06:35 PM
Holy crap just shut up Douchedorf.
