I’m bored during quarantine so I hope you guys don’t mind these topics. Anyway what Dolphin games have you attended that we’re the most memorable win or losses.
Orange Bowl
1979 Dolphins beat Buffalo 17-7. Tony Nathan goes 86 yards on a PR. Czonka was back on the team and running though people. My first game attended! My late grandpa took me.
1980 Dolphins beat Bengals 16-15? or something like that.
1981 Dolphins destroy Pittsburgh on Thur night football 30-10. Tommy V goes 87 years on a punt return. Dolphins D punishes Bradshaw and makes him look old.
1981 Dolphins beat Bills to win the division on last game of the year. 16-7
1982 Dolphins beat Jets 20-19 on a Uwe Von Schaman (Ray Finkle) FG as time expires. Strock had to come off the bench to lead the last drive.
1983 Dolphins beat LA Rams 30-14. My first time seeing Dan! David Overstreet (RIP) went off tackle for 45 yard TD run. What could've been!
1984 Cannot believe I did not go to a game this year!
1985 Dolphins destroy KC 31-0
1985 Dolphins lost to Pats in the AFC Championship game. Terrible game in the rain. Lots of fumbles. Big upset! First loss as a fan! Terrible time for that. Everyone wanted Dolphins / Bears SB.
1986 Went off to college in Philly
1989 Lost to KC 27-24 on last game of year. Dolphins finished 8-8 I believe
1992 Miami beats LA Rams 26-10. Hurricane Andrew postponed their start to the season I think. Miami (Kendall to Homestead) was still digging out of this storm at this time.
1992 Miami beats Houston Oilers 19-16 in FG battle
1993 Miami loses to Jets 24-14. Dolphins did get off to 3-1 start and then we lost Dan for the season. This was a very good team that got decimated by injuries.
1994 Miami beats the Colts 22-20?
1995 Miami beats Atlanta 22-21. Marino to Fryar to win the game. Last game I saw with the Don. Exciting game in a disappointing year.
1996 Miami beats Pats 24-14. First Jimmy Johnson game for me.
1997 Miami beats Colts 16-10. Jim Harbough got dehydrated and couldn't finish the game
1998 to 2001 In the Navy (1996-2002) and mostly underway
2002 Miami loses to Buffalo with Ray freakin Lucas pooping the bed. First time I realized how bad it was with snowbirds from Buffalo coming down to watch the game. Worst fans out there. Maybe worse than Philly. At least 25 sat directly in front of me. Was there with the wife, son, mom and dad. Thought I was going to have to protect them.
2003 Miami beat Washington. Late rally led By Ricky Williams. Fun prime time game.
2005 Miami loses to Michael Vick and Atlatna 17-10
2007 Miami loses to Cincy in the last game of year and finishes 1-15. What else can you say?
2009 Miami smashed the Bills 38-10. Double dipped on my trip down to Miami that weekend and watched Canes beat Oklahoma the night before. That game was much better!
2013 Miami loses to the Jets 20-7 in last game of the year with playoffs on the line. Complete Philbin flop game. one of the worst I attended.
2014 Miami beats Buffalo 22-9 in Thur night game.
2015 Miami destroys the Texans 44-24. Fun game to watch.
2018 Miami loses to Jax in last home game. Misses playoffs again. Another coach (Gase) sent packing.
Can't wait to go to a Flores coached game. So, 10-3 with Don Shula and 5-6 with everyone else. Kind of how it's really been. I would say beating the Jets 20-19 in 1982 was the most fun. It was a big game on a Super Bowl run. Of course, first game in 1979 with my late grandfather against Bills was special.
