With 7 minutes left, the Dolphins have a 15-0 lead. They may well get their first win here, but I would tune in at this point to see how they attempt to give it away.

…And the Broncos have scored a TD and recovered the onside kick.

Sometimes throwing in a new QB will provide some extra spark to a team which really shows in situations like this. Especially when it’s such a spirited contender as Tebow.

And the Broncos have scored a TD and will attempt to tie the game with a 2 point conversion.

Tie game. I’m so tired of being right all the fucking time.

Could be worse. You could be watching the Seahawks vs. Browns game.

Goddammit, now the media’s going to be a Tebowfest all week. Maybe Jim Schwartz will punch someone after the game?

I don’t know if its good or bad for the Broncos, but that is quite a comeback.

I don’t think there will be many more calls for Whitehurst in Seattle after today. Your offense is a mess when the Browns dominate the time of possession like that.

What is Rivers doing with these 4 yard completions with no time outs? THROW IT AWAY.

But not on 4th down, you noob!

Huge, huge win for the Jets. This basically lets them beat their chests a bit and feel like they can beat real teams that aren’t the Dolphins or Jaguars.

Lorini · 2011-10-23T13:14:29.000Z

Um, Rivers, WTF??? Did you forget what down it was or what?

Lorini · 2011-10-23T13:16:52.000Z

And then Jackson thinks he’s cute and brings in Pryor so that he can false start and then have Boller throw a pick for a KC TD. Jeezus.

Mr_Bismarck · 2011-10-23T13:19:34.000Z

With two weeks of practice against a terrible Dolphin defence with limited tape of Tebow and coming off a short week.

This is the best chance Tebow has to look good all year.

One play in, and Ponder nearly throws for TD already. It’s spotted at the one yard line. This might be a good game after all.

Contrai · 2011-10-23T13:22:13.000Z

Dolphins is executing the Suck for Luck playbook just perfectly!

sluggo · 2011-10-23T13:25:37.000Z

And Miami fumbles the ball in their own territory, and the Broncos kick a 52 yard FG to win the game.

/facepalm

They might have to fire Sparano after this.

Mr_Bismarck · 2011-10-23T13:26:27.000Z

Strip-sack followed by a 52 yard field goal and Denver win.

As a Dolphin fan for 29 years now I’d just like to say that this shit is hilarious.

Sarkus · 2011-10-23T13:26:49.000Z

I don’t want to point this out, really, but if I was a Lions fan I’d be pretty concerned as they are about to lose their second straight game at home. I wonder if SF figured something out that Atlanta was able to take advantage of as well.

As a fellow Dolphins fan of 31 years, I think the most hilarious part of it is how predictable their sucking is. At 15-0, I KNEW they wouldn’t be able to quietly run off the last 7 minutes, that they would find a way to let the Broncos back in the game. That’s the mark of real suckage.

Sarkus · 2011-10-23T13:31:45.000Z

So is this it for Sporano? Talk about an embarrasing loss . . .

Lots of quick scores in these late games. And what the hell is going on in Oakland?

Lorini · 2011-10-23T13:35:54.000Z

I think we will see Palmer sooner than they had actually planned. Like today. Like by the end of the half. Boller is horrible, two picks in the first two possessions.

Mr_Bismarck · 2011-10-23T13:36:10.000Z

If Sparano isn’t shown the door to the parking lot after this one then it’s clear that either Ross wants to lose or he already has coach lined up who can’t/won’t come aboard until the off-season and so canning Sparano is pointless.

In the feverish dreams that follow another terrible lacklustre performance I imagine Bill Cowher returning home to find an aqua and coral wheelbarrow full of money on his doorstep.
