FOXBOROUGH, Mass. --It was an "almost" third quarter for the Dolphins.
They almost scored a TD on offense ... but Reggie Bush and Ryan Tannehill mishandled the handoff inside the five-yard line and the Patriots recovered at their own 1-yard line.
The Dolphins almost got an interception return TD from Chris Clemons, but the pass he snatched from Wes Welker was ruled incomplete because it hit the turf.
So the score remains 21-0 as we go to the fourth quarter.
The live blog continues in the comments section. See you there.
yup

Tannehill has no more than 3 seconds to throw the ball instead of realizing that and aking off his sitting there like a duck. Wasn't he a former WR use your GD legs! Jeez

OK, who is going to start with the Pats are Playing Prevent Defense In The 4th Qtr!!
Speak Now!!
The Pats aren't Going To Lay Down In The 4th!!

good lord, now Burnett?!
Posted by: 48-Go | December 30, 2012 at 06:50 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.

Lol, is no one seeing the constant replays showing no WRs open? It's not Tanny's fault Ireland hung him out to dry.
Colts- draft Allen, Fleener, Hilton. Keep Wayne. Score points, go 11-5.
Dolphins- draft Egnew and no WRs, trade Marshall. Can't score points, go 7-9.
It's a points league, it's not rocket science. Fire Ireland before he does more damage!!!!!!!

T hill is the next Henne
Posted by: Clue | December 30, 2012 at 06:51 PM
every year same thing, show a little promise, then fall flat on your face in New England. F'ing PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope they keep Brady in and 91 crushes his knees!!
Posted by: Angry Fin Fan | December 30, 2012 at 06:52 PM
Lol, Omar Kelly at the sun sentinel spent all week telling us how good Binns is. Um, no.
Posted by: Andrew | December 30, 2012 at 06:52 PM
Egnew looks like a big boy out there!
Like a big, pathetic boy!
Posted by: The Fins Suck | December 30, 2012 at 06:52 PM
Excellent point Orlando.
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 06:52 PM
Throw Egnew the ball!
Posted by: The Fins Suck | December 30, 2012 at 06:53 PM
Phil Simms just said it Hartline gets open for 10 and 15 yard passes because he can sell the deep route. He gets open deep, he just does not get the ball thrown deep often enough. We have to resign Hartline!
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 30, 2012 at 06:53 PM
Love the shots of the Dolphins receivers being blanketed all over the field. Have to give a big hand to Jeff Ireland for an epic fail finding receivers and te's. The fact that our rookie qb is throwing to receivers who joined the team in the past few weeks is absolutely f%$*ing pathetic. Way to help him out Jeff you freakin moron.
Posted by: Phins78 | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
Binns is a piece of trash.
Another great find by Ireland.
Posted by: The Fins Suck | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
that DAM #19 is CURSED....
Posted by: Kris | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
That's three drops for Binns today.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 30, 2012 at 06:54 PM
Binn sucks lmao
Posted by: Clue | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Another #19 Burn that F-ing # !!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
WELL, WE NOW KNOW WHY BINNS WAS CUT.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Perfect pass by THill. Give him some time (and receivers with hands) and he can make them.
Posted by: Angry Elf | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
He's binns fired from the team...
Posted by: jtlawson5 | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Shut out in new England mr. Ross. Fire Ireland on the flight home please!!!!
Posted by: Mike | December 30, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Andrew, you forgot to mention that they also drafted the best QB prospect since John Elway.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Well guys enjoy the last Dolphins game of the season. I hope THill turns into a franchise guy he def needs more help around him. Happy New Years ppl
Posted by: Clue | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Binns not Helping His Cause!!
Good To See them Go for it on 4th Down!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Phins 78 @ 6:54....
I was thinking the same thing....
I wonder how many other teams are finding STARTERS on offense and DE FENCE in week 13 and beyond.....
Posted by: Kris | December 30, 2012 at 06:56 PM
Binns = acorn = unemployed when signed by Phins and moved to top of depth chart.
Acorn belong on end of wang not in staqrting lineup.

Pfffft..

What's the matter, we get hit but can't hit?
Posted by: oscar canosa | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
t-hill could have run for the 1st down!
Still has a lot to learn.
Posted by: Noplayoffsagain | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
Is that Nat Moore next to Ross?
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 30, 2012 at 06:57 PM
With a great draft we could possibly be almost mediocre. Right now we are an awful, hopeless team.
Posted by: Sej | December 30, 2012 at 06:58 PM
Ross didn't look happy......
I can only pray that somewhere in that BILLION DALLAR mind he is blaming Ireland for this embarrassing debacle.....
Posted by: Kris | December 30, 2012 at 06:58 PM
you can gain ground fast in the NFL-I've heard that for 10 years-t's true everwhere but the Dolphins
Posted by: David | December 30, 2012 at 06:58 PM
Uncovered receivers-unforgivable
Posted by: David | December 30, 2012 at 06:59 PM
It's amazing to me how one team could be this mediocre for this long...and another be this dominating for this long...I hope it's different next year!
Posted by: I Hope | December 30, 2012 at 06:59 PM
Russell Wilson is winning in Seattle from pick 75. Try again, Orlando. Luck couldn't succeed with these idiots either.
Elf, smith is a reasonable #2 corner. Carroll and Wilson don't belong on a NFL roster. So we kinda have to keep smith even though I agree he is under performing.
Posted by: Andrew | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
Binns was picked up because of the injury to Bess and the lack of depth. He will not be on the team next year. BTW where is Marlon Moore?
Bellicheck has no class to be throwing the ball at this stage of the game is classless. The fins have all but rolled over and they keep on trying to pile on.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
WE DRAFT THEM BIG FAS AND DUMB. NEVER SMART.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone 4Ever! | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
Kris,
You do some saome DUMB STUFF!
Don't give the TROLLS any more reason to laugh at you!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 30, 2012 at 07:00 PM
As of right now,the Dolphins have to seriously look at only 2 positions in the 1st round of the Draft...
WR or CB
Posted by: Mark | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
More like trash Binn
Posted by: h8dpats | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
WHAT A DEFENsE...A T.E. WIDE OPEN -NO BODY COVER HIM OLIVADOTTI COME DOWN...COYLE IS A MORON DEF. COORD.

Beat 'em till they drown...nothin wrong with that...unless its your team drowning...just sayin
Posted by: superPHIN | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
Even more pathetic is the fact that Ireland is the one who is going to be in charge of finding the wrs and te's that he already proved he can't find.
Posted by: Phins78 | December 30, 2012 at 07:01 PM
4th and 4? No problem.
Posted by: 48-Go | December 30, 2012 at 07:02 PM
Play Moore. If he scores a couple of TDs let the QB CONTROVERSY BEGIN!
Posted by: Noplayoffsagain | December 30, 2012 at 07:02 PM
Pats always run up the score. Some day it will catch up with them.
Watching our CBs try to cover Welker is hilarious. Maybe try bracketing him one time? Dolphins coaches have crapped the bed today.
Posted by: Andrew | December 30, 2012 at 07:02 PM
Yep, 72, was Thinking the same thing. What is Nat Moore Doing Sitting Next To Ross!
Kris, U can Look at it 2 Ways. How You said @6:56
Or
Ireland is on His Job!! Finding Players! The Whole Year.

Embarrassing
Posted by: 72perfectstill | December 30, 2012 at 07:03 PM
I think some guys are way too quick to assume he'll be that guy Phins.
Posted by: Tom | December 30, 2012 at 07:03 PM
HUGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE!!
Posted by: Dashi | December 30, 2012 at 07:03 PM
Did anyone really expect us to beat the patriots today? You guys act like you are surprised by this whipping.
Now the defense has really surprised me today. They did not look ready to play today.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | December 30, 2012 at 07:03 PM
Some may think say dumb things until they realize I AM RIGHT 95% or more!
Dashie KNOWS!
