Dolphins lead Jags 10-3 going to third quarter

The Dolphins are getting timely penalty-calling against the Jaguars -- and that has helped convert multiple third down situations and nullified a touchdown.

The Dolphins are also getting a good rebound game from Ryan Tannehill, who started slow but has now completed 10 of 14 passes including a 4-yard TD to Jorvorskie Lane.

So Miami leads 10-3 going to the third quarter.

We dont have playcallers in the end zone , not playmakers...the O.C. SUCKS !!!!

[72DABEST]

Bush get run, then hits whole for 2. Then same old same old does the bouncing routine for zero yard. Hit the hole PLEASE!

[Craig M]

DC,

I like Devlin enough as a QB that they don't need another QB. When are you proposing they pick one?

[reg]

Hartline and Bess all day

[Andrew]

Shorts and Blackmon by a ton. That can't be a serious question Armando, it's not close. Ireland stinks.

[Mark]

Hartline/Bess. Add a speed receiver who can catch and we're away.

[We Have Draft Picks]

Do we have anybody else that can run like Reggie? Then...

Oscar,

Reggie is clearly our best RB. It comes down to money.

[gussoto]

Looks like about 25000 in the stands.

[superPHIN]

OK men, non-scientific survey:

Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon or Brian Hartline and Davone Bess?

Go!

Well, they both have more TD's than hartline and bess combined so would that not help their case??? and they play on an AWFUL jax squad with henne throwing them the ball!!...Just Sayin!!!

Go!

Mando,

Ehhhhhhhh....Good question. Right now I'd take Bess & Hartline but the future looks bright for those guys.

[Andrew]

Lol at any homer who takes slow and slower. Blackmon is a rookie who will only get better and Shorts has five more TDs than Bess and Hartline COMBINED.

[Craig M]

Just the Jags luck. They don't have a QB on their team and they're going to end up with the first or second pick, with no Luck or RGIII in this draft. F8cked again!

[DC Dolfan]

Also, what happened to your 4-12 prediction Craig? Sure are putting a lot of criticism on the rookie QB whom you predicted would lead a 4-12 team? How good did you expect he'd be? Andrew Luck on a 4-12 team?

I predicted the same, therefore, at 5 wins and at least 8 games where he did enough to win, he's overachieving to me. This is the next team up. Why not give him credit for executing the plays?

You're too 1-dimensional dude. There's a HC to blame. A OC. And yes, even a LEFT TACKLE. I guess you're mad Long can't be a part of the end of ANOTHER Season, but get over it.

[Armando Salguero]

I would go with Shorts and Blackmon on my team.

And the reason I ask is because you must realize Tannehill does MORE with Harline and Bess while Henne does LESS with Blackmon and Shorts.

[We Have Draft Picks]

Andrew,

How about today??? Not next year or in two years.

[TNfinfan]

Shorts and Blackmon but I seriously hope they e-sign Hartline

[Tony in Miami]

Armando you are comparing Bistec with Muringa..Hartline-Bess all the way...

[Dashi]

We still need 2 More Td's!!

And Keep The Jag's Under 10pts!!

Let Actually Score A TD This Drive!! I want To See Matt Moore In The 4th!!

[Orlando Dolphan]

Craig I agree with you that Tannehill has been one of the worst rated passers this year. However, he is just a rookie, he does not have elite talent around him, and he does show flashes of brilliance at times (ike today). I beleive that the fins would have won more games this year with Moore but that does not mean T-Hill won't learn and be the future of the franchise. I have also been critical of him but I guess we have to be patient. Nothing left to do but wait and see. He has played well today. Let's give him credit.

[superPHIN]

this game is so meaningless that even the clock attendent is trying to speed up the game...

[The Seer]

HenneHill is not the answer, so we're back to square one.

[Tom]

Mando-- have you seen that Brandon Fields 'pass' at practice?

[robbyhernz]

He has great chemistry w/ Hartline so I'd keep Hartline and Bess.. With a caveat that u get a receiver to blow top off D's...

[I Hope]

Hartline - 9 yards away for 1,000 yards on the season!

[Kris]

Did Tanne just change the snap count to "on 3"....lol....

48....GO GO...

48..GO

[DC Dolfan]

Mando, I agree. Shorts and Blackmon are superior players. Nice run by Tannehill!

[robbyhernz]

U SEE!!!!!!! He can run!!!

[We Have Draft Picks]

"I would go with Shorts and Blackmon on my team.

Blackmon & Shorts have more talent & if I were building a team I'd want them but right now Bess & Tannehill are playing at a higher level. Is it b/c Tannehill is better than Henne???? Maybe.

[Andrew]

Today it's still Blackmon and Shorts by a lot. Are you high? Blackmon is a very talented rookie and Shorts has quadrupled the dolphins entire WR touchdown production. They're better now, and that gap will only grow with time because they are both young.

You guys are nuts/completely incapable of honestly judging Dolphins players.

[Mark]

A vet should get more out of his receivers. Not quite a fair analysis.

[Craig M]

DC,

I have NO clue what you're on about above. My 4-12 season had Matt Moore at QB for some if not most of the season. So what's your point?

I can't complain about the QB? Are there rules against that? Yes, I've already complained about some of Philbin and Sherman's decisions? I'm 'too one-dimensional'?

All I've said is, 'the kid hasn't progressed the way some of us would have liked and his accuracy isn't good enough at this point'. YOUR the guy who is already drafting a first round QB in April. You're WAY ahead of me....

[jtlawson5]

That guy Mathis is their Nolan Carrol

[Armando Salguero]

No, Tom. Practice is open for only 30 minutes. They work those kind of plays when no one is around.

[rattlersteve]

Look at Tannehill go!!!

[We Have Draft Picks]

QB is a bust.

[Tony in Miami]

Is Reggie Bush our Running back or Ronnie Brown?

[Razo]

Yesterday

Tell us about that scouting report again?

I'm sure we'll here from you the next time RT does something wrong, but until then...silence.

[robbyhernz]

50% of T-Hill incompletions have been drops...

[We Have Draft Picks]

Bush keeps doing that same thing to the left.

[rattlersteve]

gotta hold on to that thigpen!!!!

[Kris]

GREAT THROW by Tanne.....

GREAT THROW....

[Craig M]

Orlando,

All I'm saying is his accuracy isn't good enough right now. Blame that on being a rookie or not having enough talent or whatever....it HAS to get better or he's not going to make it.

[Orlando Dolphan]

Tannehil is throwing well today. We neeed to get hims some receivers that hang on to the ball.

[Tony in Miami]

Why dont go for it ? C'mon men

[Andrew]

The Jags QB situation is even worse than ours starting a rookie. Jags are well set for the future at the WR position.

[Tom]

Thanks, dumb question but I was curious if you ever saw it work lol

[rattlersteve]

we should have 3 TDs in this qtr. gotta execute much better

[reg]

good drive again and better hands from thigpen and it would have been even better

[TNfinfan]

Drops really hurt THill. Another thing is Sherman does'nt let him get in a rhythm throwing the ball.

[We Have Draft Picks]

All I'm saying is his accuracy isn't good enough right now. Blame that on being a rookie or not having enough talent or whatever....it HAS to get better or he's not going to make it.

Craig,

I don't know what game you're watching but Tannehill has looked great since the first two drives. Thigpen just dropped a perfect pass for a TD.

[David]

Everyone on the team needs to learn where the 1st down marker is and get there or beyond-I knew that in Gray Y football-but our pro's do not seem to-that is inexcusable from Hartline + Thigpen has to catch that

[DC Dolfan]

It's not good enough. But it's been pretty good other than the 1st quarter. The kid is inconsistent. And then you add the other factors (like receivers with too many drops). However, he's been far better than Henne.

[superPHIN]

we're 5-8, season almost over...playoffs non existant, and playing in front of a docile crowd....U go for the fist pump!!*lmao*

[robbyhernz]

More fans at a WNBA game than here today. Fin fans suck...

[oscar canosa]

Could be 30-3 if we had played well.

[We Have Draft Picks]

"Tannehil is throwing well today. We neeed to get hims some receivers that hang on to the ball."

Orlando,

You think???

[David]

Don't forget how to tackle-boys-we have to win this

[I Hope]

Armando -- Thomas is injured, according to Dolphins radio...knee injury. That guy gets hurt often!

[Craig M]

WHDPs,

This is one game against a crappy team. We all see that. He needs to get better against the rest of the league. THAT's what I'm talkig about.

[Armando Salguero]

Please go to the fourth quarter post now.
