Another Epic. Although we were on the losing side, this will be ingrained in my memory forever:

One of the greatest Miami playoff games was the ‘84 AFC championship game. Tainted by the Super Bowl loss, but it was the most magnificent playoff games Miami ever executed.
Classic Phins game. I remember them carting Winslow off on a stretcher, thinking that may have just been the break we needed, then he comes back in a bit running outta the tunnel. He was killing us all game. That's from a time when players were tough as nails, you don't see that anymore. It was an exciting game none the less. And the Hook and Ladder, how can you forget that play...
We had never defeated the Chiefs before that 1971 game. That's one of the reasons it was so incredibly exhilarating to pull out that game. Most of the defeats had been lopsided, some embarrassingly lopsided. It would be sort of like going to Baltimore and winning an overtime playoff game in this era.
Granted, we had not faced the Chiefs since Shula became coach.
The Dolphins never led until the final score. Griese was incredibly calm in that game. That's what I'll always remember. Admittedly I get very irritated around here when younger posters look at stats or whatever and attempt to downgrade Bob Griese. Three times in this game he brought up back from deficits of 7 or more. The Chiefs had a Hall of Fame cornerback (Emmitt Thomas) out there covering Paul Warfield but Griese persevered despite two interceptions. Warfield had a huge day especially for that era...7 catches for 140 yards.
It was the most receptions Warfield ever had in a game for the Dolphins. That's why it's not wise to compare era to era, especially if you weren't around to experience the differences in playing style, rules and emphasis.

Agreed. I much prefer this style of football compared with todays; there's way too many big plays now. Back then you got really excited by a big play because they didn't happen so often, whereas now every game is full of them, thus the excitement level has dropped - for me anyway!

Yes. but giving up 28 points to the Steelers was an omen for what would happen against the 49ers.
I like this one too
