9-18-1995, That WAS the last time we beat the Steelers at home. Hats off!

[catch22]

I am incorrect on that date, the last time we beat the Steelers in their house was actually 09/30/1990

OVER 23 years ago!!!!!!

No matter how close things came this was a huge win for this team. We were in a hostile environment, with hostile weather, and the season was on the line and we managed to score 34 points in the snow to win. The highest point total of the year!

Tannehill comes back from a bad pick and has a late game TD drive! Last year our team would have crumbled at this point. Not this year! Hats off to this team! This is a character win if there ever was one.

I am also going to go against the grain and not be mad at the play calling not to call a timeout before the half. I think Coach knew we had a lead going to the half and knew we would get the ball back with a more favorable situation for Tannehill. If we had been down, or if we were not getting the ball back I say of course call the timeout. In this situation I am ok going into the half with the lead and the ball back. I don't love the call because I love to attack but in the snowy conditions the two minute drill just seems dangerous.

Biggest game of the year, on the road, in the snow and the Dolphins come out the more resilient team! Who woulda thought?!

Who is responsible for this? Could not possibly be the leader of the team and leader of men, Joe Philbin, could it?

Great win. For many reasons. Wow.

Philbin's end of second half coaching was TERRIBLE. But his end of GAME coaching was solid. And the team came ready to play today. So he gets props.

I think this game was a prime example of many things you have been point out for a while. Resiliency. The Dolphins opened the 2nd half with a big TD drive to get a 10 pt lead, then went about it in their typical way to lose it. After that though they retook control of the game and ended up scoring 24 2nd half points including their first 4th quarter TD in 8 weeks. The defense buckled many times today and did their god damn best to throw the game at the end, but the team somehow found a way to win a game they should have lost.

This says a TON for the players. Manned up, played big, won away in crap weather. Big win for our young team

Not true -- we beat them at home 21-0 in 98.

We last won in Pittsburgh in 1990.

Also with Pittsburgh having extra rest.

Yes, great win, I got so worried when Pittsburgh scored, I thought we had lost the game. I felt Ben threw an illegal forward pass, but, what do I know,

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

IMO Philbin is safe for 2014.

Team flat out played its ass off for him today.

Couldn't agree more. So proud for Joe Philbin as I am a huge believer in him.

I know it's Finheaven, but am I allowed to experience joy and express optimism? At least for one week?
