SAN FRANCISCO -- It's not a blowout!
In fact, the Dolphins and 49ers are knotted at 0-0 but the Dolphins have at least mounnted a drive versus the vaunted 'Frisco D.
The 49ers, meanwhile, have been largely unable to move with any consistency on offense. So far, so good.
The live blog rolls in the comments section. See you there.







We spoke too soon about Martin.

J. Martin was destroyed
Posted by: Tony in Miami | December 09, 2012 at 04:35 PM
smith may break the sack record today
Posted by: bill connors | December 09, 2012 at 04:36 PM
FG,the penalties killed us.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 09, 2012 at 04:36 PM
Jake Long With 1 Arm Is Stronger Than Martin With 2!!
Bush Dances To Much!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:36 PM
Welcome to the left tackle spot, Mr. Martin.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 04:36 PM
agree on bush, glad hes gone
Posted by: bill connors | December 09, 2012 at 04:37 PM
Martin, meet smith!! You can't learn this in practice... I'm glad he's getting these reps and this experience.
Posted by: robbyhernz | December 09, 2012 at 04:37 PM
I don't see anyone telling us how bad Long is now.
Posted by: Hireland | December 09, 2012 at 04:37 PM
Martin...not great there.
Posted by: KS | December 09, 2012 at 04:38 PM
oh wow a fg will do you good
Posted by: TanneSupporter | December 09, 2012 at 04:38 PM
Armando, Tannehill looks in a different mode in early going...let see how he finish the game
Posted by: Tony in Miami | December 09, 2012 at 04:38 PM
Plays like that just make Jakes contract a little bit richer
Posted by: qbclub13 | December 09, 2012 at 04:38 PM
But it was only one play
Posted by: qbclub13 | December 09, 2012 at 04:38 PM
But Miami should use his momentum against him Dashi. Screens/runs to his side. Only 1 sack so far, not bad for his first LT start in the NFL.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 09, 2012 at 04:39 PM
Mr. Long Get Well Soon!!
Again, Philbin did The smart Thing!!
Spo Would've told Long To Suck it Up!! Philbin wants Long To be Healthy!! When The Games Start To Really Matter!! Next Year and Beyond!!
YG, U talk About Ireland Showing Jake Respect! Philbin Is The One That Has Shown Jake Respect!! Or That He Really Cares About Him!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:39 PM
JIMMY CEFALO IS GIDDY !!!
WHAT A HAPPY GUY !!!

Martin learned something there . If only they can continue to move the ball .
Posted by: Ignignokt | December 09, 2012 at 04:40 PM
Aldon Smith has 18.5 sacks this year after collecting one against Miami. He breaks the club record for most sacks in a season.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 04:40 PM
Not great, but pretty good stuff, considering(-10)
Posted by: oscar canosa | December 09, 2012 at 04:40 PM
Armando,
Four years of redzone ineptness!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 09, 2012 at 04:40 PM
DC: By that logic he'll give up 4 in a game
Posted by: KS | December 09, 2012 at 04:40 PM
Glad to be up by 3 but C'Mon
First and goal from the 7.
Two false start penalties and totally poor blocking leads to a big sack.
Settle for a field goal.
That's the season this year.
Don't want to hear it was THILL's fault. Or Philbin's. Or Ireland's.
That is all execution and the OLINE failed.
Posted by: jpao | December 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
With Pity and Cindy losing we have to stay focused.
Posted by: Biocentric | December 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
martin will get better...
Posted by: austin | December 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
On the brite side, Kaepernick is showing a lot of inexperience holding the football.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
Yes! 1 Play! But What a Play It was!!
Martin!! U Are Getting Judged On The Jake Long Scale!!
A HIGHER STANDARD!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:41 PM
good long drive only spoilt by the 2 false starts by our T's. I'll take points on the board after an 8 minute drive. TD would have been nice though :-)
The more time we keep our offence on the field the better.
Also reference the Martin moment, he just got caught in the wrong position as A.Smith hit him. He will learn from it i'm sure
Posted by: reg | December 09, 2012 at 04:42 PM
GRIESE "YOU GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT THREE GUYS"
UMMM DUH !!!
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
The Niners are crazy not starting Alex Smith. Kapernick is not ready to be a starter.
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
NYFINFAN, think TE.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
Misi juked out
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
LB's are Horrible In Pursuit!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
Dierdof hates the fish
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 04:43 PM
Here go the Refs.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
Any WR with any playmaking ability scores on that play Hartline got tripped up on. Nothing will change until Miami gets a GM that can draft a few weapons.
Nice job Clemons, smart play you loser.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
Nice play Clemons you idiot!!
Posted by: jpao | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
Time for The Refs To Help The 49ers!!
The 49ers Do it all Game!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
CEFALO IS GIDDY.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
the only way clemons gets his name called is to hit someone after the play.
Posted by: austin | December 09, 2012 at 04:44 PM
Chris Clemmons makes me miss Gibril Wilson.
Posted by: Cuban Menace | December 09, 2012 at 04:45 PM
how is that a penalty? srsly?
Posted by: TanneSupporter | December 09, 2012 at 04:45 PM
Why was the closest player covering Crabtree a LB??? This pass defense needs HELP!!!
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 04:45 PM
Give more cushion Carroll. Another Ireland megabust.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Smith lose in the Nevada Desert
...
Posted by: Tony in Miami | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Sean Smiths man open
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Smith bit inside.
Posted by: DC Dolfan | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Smith got burned!!
Posted by: jpao | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Crabtree slipped coming out of his break. Saved Sean Smith.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
This moron (JIMMY CEFALO IS GIDDY !!!)
WHAT A HAPPY GUY !!!
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 09, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Carroll leaving a guy wide open...
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 04:47 PM
Crabtree had Smith there.
Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 04:47 PM
its ok smith just jog around no need to run
Posted by: TanneSupporter | December 09, 2012 at 04:47 PM
False start!!!!!
And The refs didn't call It!!
Rg was swaying Liike a SWING!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:48 PM
We meed two new corners.
Posted by: Hireland | December 09, 2012 at 04:48 PM
Maybe Mr Ross can find an acorn to be GM!
Posted by: Jkv | December 09, 2012 at 04:49 PM
You can tell Dierdorf is sick of working boring Dolphins games. Can't blame him.
Posted by: Andrew | December 09, 2012 at 04:49 PM
Ireland gave Philbin no cornerbacks to work with this season
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 09, 2012 at 04:49 PM
Every Time The 49ers Have a Penalty!! Jim Calls a Timeout!! And The Refs Swallow Their Whistle!!
That RG was Rocking Back and Forth!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 09, 2012 at 04:49 PM
Bottom line--We have too many soft players on defense.
