The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

Another May Fluff piece....

What is your favorite Dolphins game that you've seen? Maybe a game you attended or watched on T.V....

I will always remember the Monday night orange jersey game against the Patriots when the Dolphins' Derrius Thompson caught the go-ahead TD inside 2 minutes over Troy Brown (playing defense) and gave Brady back the ball with a 1-point lead.  Brady then got trounced by JT and threw a pick to Brendan Ayanbadejo to close the game.  That was one of the best games I've ever been to.


Edit to add -
Wow, I can't believe it was in 2004...  That game was 8 years ago?

My favorite game was the Thanksgiving snow game against the Cowboys with the second chance field goal on the botched play.

I don't think it had so much to do with the game itself but more to do with my state of mind at the time.

A couple other favorites for me...

Unleashing the Wildcat on the Pats.
Beating the Jets with Pennington to get into the playoffs.
Marino/Sula vs Bledsoe/Parcels season starter shoot out.
Playoff win with Fiedler and Lamar in OT.
There was also a game I really liked with AJ Feely against the Pats that was a shocking enough to be pretty entertaining.

^^ a lot of good choices there...

The fake spike to beat the Jets!

Longest game ever played to beat KC.

SB win over Wash. 14-7 where Yepremiam throws the ball after a bumbled snap. 

Hmmm.  In approximate order:

- 2009 orange jersey game against NYJ
- 2004 orange jersey game against NE
- 2008 Wildcat game at NE

Additionally, Super Bowl XLII isn't technically a Dolphins' game, but (based purely on my interest as a Dolphin fan, mind you) I would probably rate it second. 

Favorite game I attended: Don Shula's record wins breaking game against Philly @ the Vet.

Most memorable TV game: The Monday night game against the Chargers.

Thanksgiving game against Cowboys.

1985 Conference Championship Game.  I was shocked and overjoyed with the outcome.

The one where your uncle drove that snow plow on the field right before the kick?

HAHA!!

^^ my favorite play, from my favorite game of recent memory.  Back and forth insane game.   :: sigh :: watching that highlight brings back bittersweet memories.  We all thought Henne to Ginn was going to be a savage combination for years to come.  :-(

No, that was the game that the Dolphins must have eaten several dozen buckets of chicken prior to the game and went out and fumbled like 6 times. Dolphins lose to Patriots to squash the rematch of the Bears/Dolphins in the SB in '85 that would have been a game for the ages. Instead the Patsies get mauled because they never should have been there in the first place. No offense Hoodie. :)

This is my all time worst Dolphins game to see. I was pretty much in the fetal position on the floor about 3/4's of the way through the game knowing they had already pissed the game away.

Agreed this is still my favorite as well.

My favorite game that I attended was the game that got moved to Arizona from San Diego due to the fires and was played on Monday Night. I got in for free (canned food dontation really) had great seats up close and got to see a Dolphins game live that was unexpected and a win to boot.

Like anyone else, can't narrow it to just one.

Game 1: week 10, 1985: Dolphins 21- Jets 17
2nd game I went to. Mark Duper returns from a broken leg. Only to catch the game winning 50 yd TD from Marino.

Game 2: week 13, 1985:  Dolphins 38- Bears 24
had to go to bed at halftime. It was a school night. But I was awake for most of the magic.

Game 3: week 3, 1986: Dolphins 45- Jets 51.
Can't win them all, but check out these stats: Marino 30/50, 448 yds, 6 TD, 2 INT. I would almost kill to see a day like that again. Great rivalry, great game.

1972 AFC Championship game.  Dolphins are on the way to a perfect season but they are down 7-0 against Pittsburgh and are being totally outplayed.  Then Seiple takes off on a fake punt, leading to a Csonka touchdown to tie the score going into the locker room.  Then Shula plays his trump card and brings in Bob Griese in the second half.

No offense taken, I completely agree.  Miami was a much better team.  Pats got lucky.  NFL history has plenty of games like that the '72 superbowl, Superbowl II, SB in 2001, SB in 2007. 

BTW my favorite Dolphins game that the Dolphins won was the fake spike game.  I hate the Jets. 

Marino vs. The Falcons Shula's last year.  The game where he hit Eric Green in the face with the ball in the endzone and Green didn't know what the hell do to. 

It's my favorite game because if ever there was a shit team that he willed to win, it was that one.  It also gave us a rare treat, Dan Marino scrambling 12 yards to get a first down on the last drive.

My favorite was the Dolphins spoiling Da Bears perfect season by not only beating them but, making it look easy!  No one gave Miami a chance in that game... I bet all my friends that Miami was going to beat the Bears easily...

I remember Chris Berman on the call during Primetime for this:  "Put the women and children to bed now folks because you're about to see something scary..MARINO SCRAMBLING!!"

i think the denver game where fiedler broke his thumb.

That game was EPIC. I actually have that one on DVD

Best game I attended was Bills at Dolphins in 2005. The big comeback win.

The other two that stick out start to finish:  Miami vs. Cleveland 1990.  Call it my first lesson in football.  I'd been watching for two years but that's really when it started to make sense.  Miami at NY Jets, 1994.  The fake spike.  I was so pissed for three quarters of that game and then Tim Bowens and Mark Ingram went batshit.

I was at the fake spike game when i was a kid!

...rooting for the Jets... ;)

94 Week 1 vs New England. Marino's comeback to the league.

Best Game Ever

Unfortunately the game was not on where I lived at the time otherwise it would have been my pick.  We were watching Bill Elliott win the Southern 500 in Darlington that day because Cleveland or Pittsburgh was on instead.

Thanksgiving Day snowbowl vs. Dallas. No game has ever stood out as more memorable.

See aside from the end of that game, I don't remember much about it.  Emmitt got hurt, Dallas scored on a punt return, and then obviously the end but the one play about that game that sticks out is Byers' 77 yard touchdown run.

^ Miami games were hard to come by when I was growing up, so I have little to choose from. Lived in CO and TX up until '96 so I missed a lot. Highlights galore during the Marino years.

Even in Rochester they were on damn near every week for awhile.  That changed though as the team got worse.

Is there really a pats fan that is a moderator on this board?? with 6,000+ posts!?!?   ???


Wow...I was liking this board alot. But im done. Have a nice life guys.

Don't be a wuss.  Hoodie's alright.  We don't vote the same way but he's a decent guy.

Yes, he replaced a 49ers fan who was a moderator.  We also have a Giants fan that moderates. 

I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say we really won't miss you with that attitude. Hoodie isn't a troll so he gets his share of respect here.

Hmm I think this might be a the first time someone has openly left because of it...I'm happy there are lot's of other Dolphins boards/forums...to each their own...

It does sadden me though,it's sports,football.It's not War,We all love football (ok most of us)....While the name on the door, Dolphins,we've always seemed to welcome others that love football.If they have no problems with the Dolphins name plate on the front door,they're more than welcome to come join.I feel they bring prospective,and insight throughout the message board.I've always felt like we're more than just another Dolphins message board...I always felt proud,that we are so accepting of members from other teams...I hope we continue to add valuable members,which ever team they follow...

Enough ranting....

The fake Spike game,and Dolphins Orange Jersey Jim Bates win over the Patriots were my favorites.

The game I regret the most not seeing,Marino/Bledsoe game Marino's first game back after the achilles injury.Those were pre NFL Sunday ticket days,and being in the Midwest,I was stuck watching the Chiefs play...I remember watching the scoreboard,cussing up a storm,then they'd break in with a highlight.I also remember being one of the few areas that didn't get to see the game...

Sorry to Hoodie,Sportchick,and Pats2006,...most of my memories mentioned the Patriots :D

Let's see he has 6,000 posts and is a moderator and you have 20 posts. Perhaps if you would have hung around a bit you would have come to realize there is a method to the madness.

I think there was one other.  Personally I thought it was a bit odd, when Dave asked me.  Although not quite as odd as me teaching in a Catholic High School which I did for three years.  (I am Jewish)

^^I think it makes perfect sense. Who's less likely to get overly caught up in the discussion and keep an unbiased approach, you or a Dolphin fan?

He's the moderator of Around The NFL - the forum where people talk about teams other than the Dolphins.  Imagine that....

Hey, if you can't handle a person for what he is, then fine, no one is forcing you to come here.  We have plenty of others.  Too bad, he seemed like a good member.

Not unbiased.  Just a different bias. 

Wow.  Sad to see someone left just because a fan of a rival of the Dolphins is moderating one of the forums.  I guess some Dolphins fans have zero tolerance for Patriots and Jets fans.   


There's no such thing as an unbiased sports fan.   ;) 


What made you quit teaching if you don't mind me asking?

What the hell did I miss here? Wow!

^^^ Some newbie and he's mad because Hoodie likes the Patriots, so evidently he crapped his pants grabbed his ball and went home because he's a douchebag.

I thought it was funny to see a Pats fan here but, I've joined other teams sites as well!   I see no problem with it... some people are just sports fans and want to discuss sports even, if they are fans of a rival!

From what I can see, some fan sites are stricter than others regarding fans of rival teams.  Some sites will not allow fans of rival teams on their site.  I'm glad this one does as it makes things interesting during the season.

FFF UUUUU....my pops was a marino fan so we were definitely rooting for the dolphins, i even had my awesome cheesy dolphins starter's jacket

Hoody's one of the best posters on this board, so I have no idea what A&O's problem is.


But, to try to steer this back to topic:

My all time fav Dolphin game is the '93 Sleet Bowl on Turkey Day.  I was actually sitting in that one with my father and grandfater...and somehow we had scored box seats.  So while everyone was freezing their butts off, we were enjoying a dry, pleasant afternoon.

My dad and just about everyone in the stadium were Cowboy fans, but my grandfather (who lived near Orlando) were cheering on for the Dolphins.  We were very hated come game's end.   >:D

It was the very first Dolphin game I ever saw in person.  Steve DeBerg at QB too! lol

haha! Atta boy!
