The Dolphins have been reduced to being happy with at least .500. Playoffs are almost always out of the question. Winning seasons are few and far between. :( Stephen Ross has not delivered success even though he became majority owner of the team in 09. From 09-17, just one playoff appearance, a road blow out loss to Pittsburgh.

8 out of 9 seasons with Ross in majority control have yielded .500 or worse and just once with a record above .500. 10-6, 8-8, 8-8, 7-9, 7-9, 7-9, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10 = 65-79 .451 (basically 7-9 average for 9 seasons). I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel with Tannehill missing a year and trying to come back. That doesn't bode well for a successful 2018. I hope Miami takes serious consideration into bringing a Keenum or other experienced QB into the mix.

The Dolphins needs to accept that Tannehill is a bust.

Luke Enno good analysis of the W/L record. I used to have orange and aqua in my veins but I just can't root for this team anymore (I became a hard-core fan in '81 so I've seen a lot.)

Luke Enno Plus the fact that the team has had 7 different head coaches and only 7 winning seasons in the last 17 years. That should never happen.

Dick Enberg was the greatest voice ever in sports! Miss him so very much.

He was great

Such a cutting comment. No need to take a slice at the man like that.

heydudedolfan13 and how they managed to beat Pittsburgh the following week is still a mystery to me.It was almost as if both games were fixed for San Diego to win.Miami up 21-6 at halftime and can't score another point the rest of game?Cmon ! And during Steelers game(I'm from Pittsburgh)there was a Nike commercial with Stan Humphries in it where at end said "Super bowl"before the Chargers/Steelers game was even over.I remember that like crystal clear to this day

cabymont I just hope I live long enough to see the Fins win another Super Bowl.Losing hope.

if they had replay they would have seen it that Fins got out of the endzone and was no safety..2 points difference in the game you say...

We were damn good back in the early 90s compared to now. But we were always missing a piece that never got us over that hump to actually win an afc championship and get to play in the big one. #Running game

I'm 44 so I clearly remember them all. Just want to see one in my lifetime. That's not asking for much.

Ya true. I think Curtis Martin is underrated too. And Corey Dillon. Thurman was amazing and should have been given the ball more in SB vs the Giants.

Steven Bern Dolphins fans will always know Thurmans name and their other underrated guys to but because they choked in 3 straignt sbs they will always be nobodys Levy ruined some of Miamis best teams teams that woulda actually won the SB

@@r.minnis9722 Thurmans last year was with the Dolphins

Who do you think Marshall Faulk of the greatest show on turf patterned his game after? And he was drafted originally by Indianapolis when Ted Marchabroda was their head coach. He saw another Thomas and then some. Can you imagine Peyton Manning with Marshall Faulk? Never happened, Faulk was gone by that time.

Yup!

Yup!

Don't forget the 1990 Divisional game against the Bills and 1994 Divisional game against the Chargers

Too true Jay G. Miami is the Bills natural rival. I had a friend when I lived in Buffalo who was a Dolphins fan. He went to a Bills-Dolphins game (early 90's) wearing a Dolphins jersey and was pelted with snowballs throughout. The 20 year interregnum has ended and the rivalry with the Dolphins will return to its natural state.

chellito Garcia says how long before buffalo bills won the super bowl

The plays labeled TD drops were not. Neither would have been TDs and they were off the hands yes but drops no.

Johny Kilroy ........ yup dropped td passes changed the game!!!🐬🏈🌴😎

Now timestamp every time OJ Simpson was on

This should have been 52 to 10 bills.

Those were the years that the NFL championship was between SF or Dallas; no AFC team was going to beat either of those teams in the SB.

Oh god right? Unreal on the screen .

Same brother. I was inconsolable for about a week after, then laughed my ass off when Buffalo got spanked by the Cowboys.

this team was 2nd best to the bills. the 94 team was better and Miami last legit chance at a Super Bowl

Anthony Girodo you are right. They had the Chargers beat and let it slip right through their hands. They surely would've beat the Steelers a week later and advanced to the Super bowl against the 49ers at home that year. So sad it didn't happen.

I agree. I say it all the time. Dan Marino is the greatest qb of all time. When u mention raw talent passing that ball and single handily picking defenses apart, i believe no one is better. The guy didnt even need an offensive coordinator. He literally ran the offense himself and called each play in that huddle. Marino is every great qb’s favorite quarterback.

Bryan Tennyson they would have beat the bears, i was pissed the NE won that day,

Marino beat the bears in 85, and Miami bet Dallas 93, the Dallas, would have had trouble, 92,,93, and Sf,in 94, but we only got 84, 83,84,85, 90 92,93,94, 95 were his beat teams

It's the whole team, Reed, bebe, and that D was great too

​@@ddwalker3744..yeah , they were a tough out for sure .

The Bills were a much better team. The defense kept the Dolphins in the game in the first half. It's hard to keep up that intensity when your team coughs the ball up so many times. It was only Marino's brilliance that kept Miami competitive. Put an average/good QB on those teams, and you would have gone 6-10 for a decade. Shula just couldn't add enough players around Dan to make them a great team. Remember, Griese had a HOF offensive line, 3 great backs and Paul Warfield, plus a terrific defense. Those were GREAT teams with a very good QB. These Dolphins were an average team with one of the greatest QB's of all time.

I remember being so happy when it looked like Houston had them beat because I knew the Dolphins would have a better chance against them over Buffalo. One of the all time "what ifs."

When Marino was drafted he already had a great offensive line waiting for him and protected him well for several yrs. But this is around the time where is was a lull period and started to regress.

Spot on. You covered it all. With the weak offensive line and no running game it was pass to move the ball. You said it about time to throw. The defense wasn’t like the 70’s Super Bowl teams. It was like the Broncos were with Elway until he got a healthy Terrell Davis

Yea it was pretty much the ONLY good D Marino had in his Shula yrs,but still wasnt great against the run,at least when playin Buffalo!!

Not really. That Dallas team was going to score 30-40 points on anybody that season - they were this good.

I was 14 also. I was more interested in the 2nd game so i didn’t remember this one as much.

Yeah, great trip down memory lane.....Especially that Superbowl.

I remember Louis Oliver talking a ton of shit after they beat us in Buffalo. We see who had the last laugh haha.

​@@markminter6312You can't blame him for that. That game was the highlight of the man's entire career.

Your misery put a smile on my face and made me bust out laughing, thanks.

@@danorthsidemang3834 glad I could help lol

Not happening no time soon, lol. This is a different time

The franchises are screwed by a Boston franchise that gives defensive calls directly to their QB through a 2nd radio frequency in his helmet that doesnt turn off. Easy to win when u dont have to READ a defense. The NFL isnt gonna expose it self. Why would they? It would cost BILLIONS

Luis Estrada couldn't agree with you more!! I'm a diehard bills fan & those glory days seem so long ago!!! I just want one super bowl championship!!

@@integrity101 buffalo and Miami and the jets all need to collaborate on a genetic engineering program for their players so that all 3 teams will be so good that until belichick and Co catch on they will get destroyed 2 times a year by all 3vteams probably leaving then out of the playoffs. Out cheat the Cheater like I do on madden 25 all players amped to 99 all qbs either like Brady or manning in ability and all big hitters on offense and defense. And all sliders for both teams set at maxim so no one can say my team won so big because the sliders were up for me and not them. I destroyed the I think 2014 (I forgot which year 25 was for)patriots in New England. I burned it to DVD got most of the game and will upload it. I won 170 to 0 and Brady was hurt the second play of the game and mallet got hurt later. That would teach the NFL and the cheaters.

Oh and we would all win multiple Superbowl and our games would be wars. Of course once we were caught we would end up forfeiting all our games and SB titles and all team leadership from owners possibly even down to the players would end up in jail

That nic memory to have of this game

This was my first season as an actual official Dolphins fan.(I had watched parts of games and rooted for them here and there the previous two years.)

Sweet grandpa story but still 32 years later and well, not much has changed, could you possibly get your first olayoff win this century tomorrow? idk at least back then you had playoff wins

Well it seems likely they would've gotten destroyed by the Cowboys had they some how won. Their last true shot sadly was in 85' when they lost to a wildcard Pats and didn't get to play the Bears a team they'd already beatin in the regular season.

@@coolnesss16 I was never sure about them getting destroyed by the Cowboys like the Bills were I think the Dolphins could've matched up better against the Cowboys but they probably still weren't winning that game. Their last shot truly might've been in the mid-80s which were Marino's best teams but I really don't think they were beating that Bears team again. The Bears had a fluke loss against them on MNF, the Bears were rolling into the Super Bowl.

@@heydudedolfan13 Yeah, they really screwed up the team around Marino after the 1984 Super Bowl season.

I'm pretty sure Shula did NOT have a winning record against John Madden.

Shula had 3 victories over Madden coached Raiders teams, while Madden notched 4 W's over Shula's Dolphins, a LOSING record for the late Shula!

Mike Phalen yea ain’t that something 🤨............guess that makes him GCOAT ..........not

What do you call a 3-4 record? A LOSING RECORD! Shoes was 3-4 ALL-TIME against John Madden! Including playoff games, where Shula was 1-2 against Madden, which means he was 2-2 against Madden in regular season games, cementing the FACT that Shula did not have a winning record against John Madden! 1970 AFC Divisional Playoff, Raiders 21, Dolphins 14. 1973 AFC Championship Game, Dolphins 27, Raiders 10. 1974 AFC Divisional Playoff, " The Sea Of Hands " game, Raiders 28, Dolphins 26. Riding an 18 game winning streak, with the first 14 the result of their CUPCAKE SCHEDULE ", Miami met the Raiders in 1973 in Week 2 in Berkley, California and the Dolphins and Shula succumbed to a 46 year old man, George Blanda, who accounted for all of the points the Raiders would score/need to secure victory, 12-7. This was the Raiders first home game of the '73 season and their NEXT 5 games were ALL ON THE ROAD, Pete Rozelle's NFL would try to stick it to the Raiders as often as possible, the Raiders opened the 1975 season with 5 consecutive road games. The Raiders shared their stadium with the Oakland A's baseball team, winners of 3 consecutive World Series, 1972, 1973 and 1974, but NO World Series ever took 5 weeks to play, the 1973 World Series went the full 7 games but it was wrapped up over an 8 day span, October 13, 1973 to October 21, 1973.

Tom Flores owned Don Shula.

@@johnyurick8785 We hope so :) Honestly I'm glad of their draft pick, even if it burns them. You have to take a chance right?

Too this day I can’t understand how the Dolphins blew this game. They had home field and the momentum..

Yeah, the Bills pretty much owned us They were such a nuisance, but you have to respect Levy and the core of the Bills.. Even thought I am a Dolphins fans, I was totally rooting for them against the Cowboys but that didn't pan out too well...lol.

Miami had their run against Buffalo, the definition of OWNED was Miami's 20-0 record against Buffalo in the 1970's, 20 straight W's for the 'Fins during the decade, Buffalo won the second meeting in 1969, 28-3 in Buffalo and they wouldn't beat Miami again until Week 1 of the 1980 season, 1 17-7 in Buffalo.

@@davidcobb2693 True. I'm biased with the era I grew up with.

@@Derek-tk4wf I think most of us are biased with the eras we grew up in, but by 1987 I was 21 and 1987-2000 were largely forgettable football seasons, I'll take the Sensational Seventies every time! The Egomaniacal Eighties brought the original " look at Me Buffoon ", Mark Gastineau, 2 Strikes and Brian " Bulldozed By Bo " Bosworth, an era that owes REAL NFL fans an apology for! The No Fun League Nineties was more notable for failures, Buffalo's 0-4 in the Super Bowl and 3 Broncos blowout Super Bowl losses, a combined 0-7!

I’m a Buffalo Bills fan. However, big Dan Marino fan. From what I saw, the Dolphins kept Tom Olivadotti for about decade. Don Shula didn’t change. Then they couldn’t even run the ball pre Dan Marino getting there. The Dolphins had 5-6 seasons of no 1K rushers pre Marino. Their WRs weren’t as good as advertised. JMO. Dan Marino made Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Jim Kelly had three HOF players on offense at one time in Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and James Lofton. Imagine Marino with all that talent around him. Then Marino’s defenses were good at times, but never much when it mattered most. If Marino was on the 90s Bills, they’d own a few Super Bowl championships.

Kellen Flanders I was 8 and still remember everyone in school wearing dolphin colors in support. Oh the disappointment I'm glad the cowboys smashed the bills.. The bills had a great team the, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, don't bb, Bruce Smith and others really a great team

I was 10. Ive been a hardcore dolphin fan as long as i can remember. If someone would have told me then, that this would be the best years I would experience watching my team play I would not have believed it.

Same here.

I was 21, what's cooler, I got to watch Marino from the first game in 83, , 84 Superbowl, that hurt, 85 loss to the pats acf championship game,, hurt, we beat the bears,in 85, 92 was PISSED, and 93 sucked, great team that years, 94 chargers game REALY piss me off when Pete miss the 44 yard field goal, but the 90 team was great to , 12, 4, lost to bills , , hated the bills In the 90s , late 80s

I was 13 and a Bills fan We deserved 1 title But i remember before this game the Dolphins were extremely cocky

The Miami Dolphins died when Marino retired. Thank Shula for providing nothing for Marino during his tenure.

Yeah that was fairly early in the game. I got to say, he's the only one I've ever seen throw that type of pass. No one threw a ball like Dan Marino. No one! A TD there could have definitely changed things. You're right though. Nothing went right that day... SMDH!

@@Georgieboy_4 And no one choked in big games the way Marino did.

@@whataboutrob442 I wouldn't say choking in big games. Buffalo was just more complete better team...

@@Georgieboy_4 Maybe, but Marino was overrated.

@@whataboutrob442 No way man. That guy was way ahead of his time. Don't compare his numbers to what you see today. The game is waaaaay different. The best way to judge a player is by seeing how he's spoken about by his peers. Need I say more?

Just another gag job by Shula and Marino. A continued theme throughout that Dolphins era.

But the movie was riveting and with stars like Powers Booth and Billy Dee Williams and the only woman who could control them.

And you had to pay off the balance every month.

No, the Cowboys were too good that year. It would of been a closer game if the Dolphins played the Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

@@smfalconsnipers124 I'd say that's a somewhat fair assessment of 'today's' fan but like most fanbases it's a "what have you done for me lately" type of fandom. I love all my Miami sports teams, especially the Fins and Canes but I"m a bigger Fin fan than anything else. Growing up, there were lots of SF/DAL fans growing up but unsurprisingly, they were Canes fans...and of course they will be because of their championship success. Today's kids have grown up watching the "Brady Era" AFC East in which we've been below average, so naturally--unless parents have pressed the fandom, they lose interest or place them lower than the Canes and Heat. There are bandwagon fans everywhere. As a kid, I knew 0 Patriot fans. Today, that number is exponentially higher.

Yup...it was always someone else's fault. Nobody was good enough to play with Danny.
