Dolphins and 'Niners tied at 0-0 going to second quarter

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.

[72perfectstill]

Sean Smith is soooo bad

[Jkv]

Smith sucks!

[nydolfan19]

Sean Smith is a joke artist

[Armando Salguero]

The Niners have found out that the Dolphins are scared stiff of Randy Moss.

[Orlando Dolphan]

What is Sean Smith doing?

[jpao]

2nd time...Sean you blow!!!

[nyfinfan]

Sean Smith is THE WORST corner in the league bar none!

[thepirate19]

It's crazy how bad miami's secondary is yr after year and how Miami has no revivers. Should try and fix problems.

[Sandoval]

Just awful

[mattybfromnc]

Wow Smith was horrible there.. too much room equals turning a what should be tackle into a 12 yd gain.. Kap picking on Sean Smith lol

[Dashi]

Austin EXACTLY!!

In Other Words The Refs Are Throwing The Game!!

AFTER U TAKE 2 STEPS WITH THE BALL!! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF U RUN INTO THE ENDZONE!! THAT BALL IS DEAD!! AT THE SPOT OF THE SECOND STEP!!

THE GUY CAUGHT IT LANDED WITH 2 FEET!! THE REF BLOWS THE WHISTLE!! AND THE GUY TAKES 2 MORE STEPS!! BEFORE STEPPING INTO THE ENDZONE!!

THE BALL WAS DEAD AT THE 4!!!

[austin]

i'm afraid 6 points might be enough for sf.

[reg]

sean smith where is his coverage??????

[Yesterday's Gone $Ever!]

50yrs in the league and Moss is still both faster and qicker than Sean Smith. Smith was severely out-quicked on that catch by Moss. LOL...

[superPHIN]

u could be dan dierdoff and play against this soft @ss zone coverage and GET wide open...*lmao*

[Andrew]

Everyone in the secondary should probably go, maybe keep Reshad Jones (who is super overrated but serviceable at least).

Dolphins controlled this half but will still go into the locker room losing. Standard.

[David]

nobody is covering Moss-at all!

[Gregg]

Philbin is just a horrible HC.

[Ken]

jpao, it was not just this mistake it is tons of them that are costing us games. These are MENTAL mistakes and that is coaching. C'mon man learn the game or go watch soccer.

[Ignignokt]

@ Marcus .

You're right , I did . I was wrong .

This kid could have what Henne didn't , the smarts .

[IMAWriter]

LOL, ig.
You'd think we figure out that EVERYONE cuts back to the INSIDE on us, yet we still get faked out.

[thepirate19]

I like how some of you are suddenly shocked how bad Sean smith is. He's always been bad

[Orlando Dolphan]

Let's hold them to a FG. We get the ball first in the second half.

[We Have Draft Picks]

"No doubt , the one thing I love best about Tannehill is his fearlessness and ability to shake off a bad play .

The experience and better decision making will come with time and some help around him."

Ignigknot,

Some more help @WR & TE would be nice.

[Dan]

Wake is a beast. Smith is a puddle.

[Gregg]

Colts got a QB. Dolphins got a bust.

[Dashi]

MR.W!!! AGAIN!!

[nyfinfan]

no one blocked Wake!

[klndry]

Smith is watching the game. A 10 yard cushion on 40 year old man? Seriously. And then let him run by you?

[Andrew]

Every time the Dolphins blitz, they telegraph and get screened to death. Coyle, Ireland, Rizzi.....it's a long list of people who need to go.

[Tony in Miami]

We can get drunk with only a field goal

[klndry]

Yeah Wake

[austin]

there is no way sf will win the sb.

[We Have Draft Picks]

Wake is our only consistent pass rusher.

[mattybfromnc]

Again those of you calling Tannehill a bust not even after one year.. have no football IQ at all sorry.

[IMAWriter]

LOL, ig.
You'd think here in the bible belt you'd find decent folk but instead we all sleep with our cousins.

[jtlawson5]

Good thing it was not a CB blitz. Smith would've missed the QB. Wake is a monster

[We Have Draft Picks]

If Wake doesn't make the Pro-Bowl than the fans of the NFL are REALLY f#cking dumb.

I think you are right there. I also plainly heard the whistle...THEN the steps.

[Dashi]

GREAT HALF!!!

[superPHIN]

Wake is our only consistent pass rusher.

Posted by: We Have Draft Picks | December 09, 2012 at 05:17 PM

IT also helps alot when you dont even touch him...just sayin!!!!

[thepirate19]

Tannehill and philbin aren't the problem. Give them time. It's not like they're surrounded by talent.

[Dan]

Seeing the Colts at 9-3 makes one wonder what could have been had the Fish thrown all their games last year. It seems to have worked out pretty good for the Colts.

[Yesterday's Gone $Ever!]

Wake's clearly the best pass rusher in this game. 3 sacks and it isnt even halftime yet. At this pace he'll make pro bowl today. LOL...

[Zonk]

Will Tannehill ever throw a TD pass?

[jpao]

No...Really....Sean Smith is AWESOME!!

just ask Craig....he tells me every week.

If Ireland resigns him to a big contract this offseason he is an idiot.

[reg]

And that list of people to go includes you..........................ANDREW!!!!!

[mattybfromnc]

Thank you the pirate19 @5:18

[superPHIN]

IMAwriter, theres NO exscuse for freeney to even be anywhere near the endzone when making that catch.....REFS didnt blow it, he did!!!!

[Yesterday's Gone $Ever!]

Where are the people who said you dont trade the house for RG3? He added the Ravens to his list of casualties today. LOL...

[thepirate19]

Zonk who is he going to throw to? Two avg receivers. The rest are awful. And he doesn't get great blocking. No running game to buy him time.

[IMAWriter]

Our D has really come to play. I'm surprised how the 49'ers offense has regressed from last year. Not sure it's Kaepernicks doing, though he plays a bit "hurried."
I was WAY off in my prediction...at least so far.

[Nat Moore]

I guess Philbin is ok but we do need a new GM and QB.

[Sandoval]

It's like watching the Texas State Fighting Armadillos...

[superPHIN]

Will Tannehill ever throw a TD pass?

Posted by: Zonk | December 09, 2012 at 05:19 PM

Dont see it against this defense, best hope is for either a screen pass or a run for points on offense...DOnt hold ur breath though!!!

[mattybfromnc]

Nat,
The kid played 19 games in college and now 13 in the NFL.. give him an offseason.. i bet we will see a vast improvement next year. He needs experience and hes getting it this year..

[Orlando Dolphan]

The fins are playing the Niners tough on the road. It is now up to T-Hill to put the time in after the season to work with the receivers, watch film, etc. Find him a top FA receiver (Bowe, Jennings, Wallace) and resign Harline so that he can start working early.

It must be tough for T-hill to put in extra time. With a hot wife like he has, I am not sure how much extra time he will put in after the season.

[Zonk]

lots of excuses for TanneBust lol

[Yesterday's Gone $Ever!]

I wouldnt go as far to say, "our entire d came to play today".

BUT CAM WAKE SURE HAS! 3 1ST HALF SACKS!
