36 years

36 years since dolphins were in super bowl

This is not to bash the team but to share what I remember

I remember wearing so much dolphins gear from sears catalouge * . I wore so much dolphin crap that a 6th grade kid on my bus said I was front runner. He challenged me to name players's numbers on the team and match them with names. I was in second grade. I got marino duper and clayton. From then on I learned all I could about the dolphins. Thanks guy lol

I was in second grade. We had a snow day the next day and I was so happy because i was so upset. My teacher told me she was thinking of during the game.

I remember we caused a fumble and would have ran it for a td but they ruled incomplete catch. Now with replay we would have got the ball at least

I remember they fumbled twice before half and we got fgs. We were only down 12

That was the first year I was a fan of the phins and this was the first game I was not certain we would win. I always expected us to win. So weird to compare to now.

I remember Marino standing by himself on the sidelines at end of game ,and I wanted to cry.

I remember being so happy when we took the lead at 10-7 thinking maybe we would be okay.

Anyone else have any memories of this game?

Every Super Bowl Sunday I think back to the most bittersweet Super Bowl of all: Super Bowl XIX, January 1985. I was 10 going on 11 and in the 5th grade.

It wasn’t the first Dolphins Super Bowl I remember, but it is the last one. Spent that whole morning watching NFL films Super Bowl highlights on ESPN. It was the first time I had ever seen the Golden Age Dolphins play. And the game was so, so hard. What happened to the offense that had shredded the NFL?

The thought that we’d be back next year consoled me. The next Super Bowl was always around the corner, and so many seasons passed, and then he was gone and it still hasn’t happened.

It has been 20 years since Miami won a playoff game.

In 2000, the Dolphins were the winningest team in the 4 major sports, percentage wise... football, basketball, baseball, hockey.

The two times they made it to the wildcard game and got beat up had mostly to do with playing cupcake schedules.

This franchise is long overdue for being a legitimate contender.

Wait if you were 10 in 1985 that means you were born in 1975 which means you weren't around to remember any of the Dolphins Super Bowls before hand. I'm confused.

1983 we lost to the redskins

I've been waiting 94 years for a championship win for my hometown soccer team and 51 years for a trophy of any kind for them. 36 years is nothing :) Ithink I'm bad luck guys, think it's in everyone's best interests to ask me to move along, maybe go follow the Jets or something

This Super Bowl mimicked what happened to Miami 36 years ago.

The 49ers were the only team to shut down Miami’s dynamic offense by taking away the passing game employing 7 DBs and the DL dominated Miami’s OL getting to Marino. Both the Dolphins and the Chiefs lost by 22.

The Dolphins defense looked like Chiefs D tonight.

The parallels are uncanny. Both teams finished 14-2.

I was a Freshman in college when we got thumped by SF. Ahhh, but I still remember the two SB wins clear as day. Sure hope dementia doesn't rear it's ugly head anytime soon.

I was born three months after the last time the Dolphins won a Super Bowl. But I am old enough to remember how two years earlier the team blew a lead in the second half to lose the Super Bowl. That time I cried. Haven’t cried at a Dolphins’ loss since.

Never witnessed one, or a playoff win.

I try not to remember both that SF loss and the Diet Pepsi commercial afterward.
