FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots have something to play for and the Dolphins are playing for pride. Well, playing for something is kicking pride's behind.
The Patriots have two touchdown runs by Stevan Ridley, including one on fourth down, and Tom Brady has that TD pass to Wes Welker.
The Dolphins?
They've got a lot of work to do --in many different ways.
The live blog continues in the comments section.
The irony of the day is that the score should 21 14 right now. So even morons cant blame Tannehill.
But Im sure some morons will. LOL...

These replays showing how inept our WRs are at getting open is an indictment on Ireland and his stupidity.
Elf, the case for Sean Smith? If we don't resign him, our best returning CBs are Carroll and Wilson. Ugh. Ireland is so bad it's insane. How any of you defend him is beyond me. This team is so devoid of talent it's hard to believe.

Gardner should be benched'

I'm so effing tired of the Dolphins getting dominated year in and year out by one freaking team! My God, did the 80s really happen?

FIRELAND!

I really think they should bring Don Strock in as a QB coach. Let's be honest, Strock is probably as much responsible for Marino's greatness as Marion was. The guy was a great mentor to Marino.

Bench for who Oscar??? Lol
Posted by: Clue | December 30, 2012 at 06:44 PM
Phins they just showed them again....
One two Fasano
One to Bush...
the DROPP by Binns wasn't on him...
Posted by: Kris | December 30, 2012 at 06:44 PM
On a positive note, we shut the Pats out in the 3rd quarter.
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:44 PM
Clue,
Have you been watching this game? A little pocket and less pressure would help.
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 30, 2012 at 06:44 PM
SCORE SHOULD BE PATS 21 FINS 14 RIGHT NOW.
CANT BLAME TANNEHILL FOR THAT.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | December 30, 2012 at 06:45 PM
@ The Fins Suck...what pocket? moron...it's hard to have pocket presence with the defensive line draped over you like a Snuggie
Posted by: AisleBBach | December 30, 2012 at 06:45 PM
I don't think Tom and Bill are gonna lay down and let Miami score, if they can help it.
Shutout the last game will be icing on the cake.
Posted by: JackSparrow | December 30, 2012 at 06:45 PM
The only reason Justin Hunter is'nt considered a far better prospect is because he tore his ACL a while ago.
Trust me,this kid is everything we need.
He's tall,strong,fast and he put up big numbers prior to his injury.
Also,look out for DeAndre Hopkins.
Another solid player...
Posted by: Mark | December 30, 2012 at 06:45 PM
We may actually hold the Pats to 28!
Posted by: zaphod | December 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
"Earl"what pocket are you talking about? Hasn't been one today, apparently you're not watching the game.
Posted by: Phins78 | December 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
Hartline has been ttaken to the ground multiple times today watching him in one on one coverage against MCcortney...this guy just isnt good enough to get any big seperation most plays....and it wont change next year either...
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
Yes, this is clearly all Tannehill's fault. He's been sacked 5 times people!
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
Samuda nybody, lu
Posted by: oscar canosa | December 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
NE swept the entire East right?
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:47 PM
I DO think at this point we bring in Matt Moore...just to prevent an injury to Tannehill.
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:47 PM
YG......AGREE ......THE OL ,JUST BAD.....
Posted by: ALoco | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
Hartline could be a "Welker-like" player if we had legitimate offensive weapons.
Posted by: zaphod | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
SuperPHIN,
he was good enough to make the Pro Bowl, wasn't he?
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
History has proven time and time again that Ireland is not a draft guru.
Point being this....
Ireland GETS RID OF MORE TALENT than he acquires.
Posted by: JackSparrow | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
Bad QB's take sacks, no pocket presence.
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
I keep saying this but it is all about the QB. If Tannehill is the next Chad Henne, then Ireland will be fired. However, if he develops and becomes the next Tom Brady we will be talking about Ireland being a genious in a few years.
Everyone thought that Scott Pioli was a genious when he was in NE but he was smart because of Brady. Ask the Chief fans how smart Pioli is. The Chiefs are the worst team in the league.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 30, 2012 at 06:49 PM
No way some team like KC, and Wets, and even buffalo dont at least attempt to look into signing moore as their QB in the offseason....chances of him staying here to back up a rookie and have 100% no shot to satrt unless t-hill injured.....Just dont see it happening!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:50 PM
This team makes me yearn for the days of Fiedler and Wanny, at least they competed.
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:50 PM
EARL,
YOU ARE LIVING PROOF OF TAKING A BAD SACK. ASK YOUR PARENTS.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | December 30, 2012 at 06:50 PM
At least we aren't the dirty rotten New Jersey jerks. They really suck. Can't wait to see Rex "Footy" Ryan get the heave ho.
Posted by: RastaJew | December 30, 2012 at 06:51 PM
Is next year already pee for Lee?
Posted by: rbleigh | December 30, 2012 at 06:51 PM
Andrew, I agree Smith's services should be retained, but not with the franchise tag. Use that on Long.
Posted by: Angry Elf | December 30, 2012 at 06:51 PM
"However, if he develops and becomes the next Tom Brady we will be talking about Ireland being a genious in a few years."
==================================================
LOL!! Didn't it take Brady all of three or four games (as a starter) to win a super bowl?
Posted by: JackSparrow | December 30, 2012 at 06:52 PM
YG4, you're pretty dumb huh?
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:52 PM
SuperPHIN,
he was good enough to make the Pro Bowl, wasn't he?
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:48 PM
As an alternate...and frankly I dont see how in the hell he even made that considering his TD production....,his last three games, he's had a total of 6-7 catches for minimal gain and the PRO BOWL is a joke as it is....
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:53 PM
Take anybody out for God's sake. Hit! wWe don't want NE in the SB.
Posted by: oscar canosa | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
Yes, Tom Brady won the SB his first year, Tannehill will never win a SB
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
Binns ... I've seen enough.
Posted by: zaphod | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
yep this Binns guy is not comin back next yr
Posted by: rattlersteve | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Yep...another dropped pass that was Tannehill's fault.
Posted by: navydolfaninva | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Can binns be cut before the game is over?
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Well I expected ugly but not this ugly. Binns is sucking and Tanne looks dazed. Not sure where some of the certainty about Irelands return is coming from.
Posted by: Tom | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Binns has NO hands, another Ireland acorn?
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Jeff saturday made the Pro Bowl this year*lmao*....just sayin!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
T-hill could have run for the 1st down.
Still has a lot to learn.
Posted by: Noplayoffsagain | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Ross's certianty says he is back...and thats all that counts unfortunatly!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Even more pathetic is the fact the Ireland is the one who will be responsible for getting us the wrs and te's hes already proven he cant find. Great
Posted by: Phins78 | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
There's a reason Binns was unemployed...
Posted by: Ignignokt | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Tom: I think Tannehill looks fine. He's staying pretty steady despite the circumstances.
Posted by: zaphod | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
binns needs to go; it's cold, but if you can't catch the ball in ne in december, there is not need keeping you around. the bush fumble was absolutely atrocious...not tannehill's fault.
Posted by: austin | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
Getting shutout in your final game of the season really should get Ross to re-think Ireland's job security
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
Binns, ??*lmao*...well, at least miami said no thanks to Braylon Edwards this late in the year!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
What could cap off a more disgusting performance than to show Ross in his booth .
Posted by: Ignignokt | December 30, 2012 at 06:58 PM
Brandon Marshall > Armon Binns
But hey...acorns are better than actual oak trees.
Posted by: JackSparrow | December 30, 2012 at 06:59 PM
I guess Ross enjoys half empty stadiums and losing football games? Only reason to keep Ireland around.
Posted by: Earl | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
PEOPLE...Miami was blown out in NE two years ago with the same lackluster performance that didnt end sparanos career in miami...why the hell would ross now pull the plug on irefiend considering whats happened today???
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
What does Ireland tell Ross? What can Ross see in Ireland's work that warrants his continued employment? What farm animals does Ireland have photos of doing illegal acts of Ross?
Posted by: zaphod | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
Hey now, in a couple of years we could have TA&M's latest greatest Johnny Football and his trophy GF too! Sherman could actually start collecting these guys and we could have who has the hotter TA&M QB wive/girlfriend debates.
Ah consolation
Posted by: rbleigh | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
there are plenty of big fast guys that can't catch the football. they cut a few in training camp. someone besides ireland needs to draft the offensive players.
