Most satisfying wins in Dolphins history

[Dan13Forever]

This is my top five most satisfying wins in Dolphins history.

Super Bowl win, perfect season.
Mud bowl. A.J. was sensational.
Dan beated the Ryan Bears defense.
Today, win over Rams
All the wins against the Jets

Based on my reactions
Miami miracle was cool.
Pennington beating the Jets in York to win the division is up there.
Ginn smokes Revis for the game winner vs the Jets on Sunday night was one I jumped around like a moron too.
1985 Bears was up there too. My first full MNF game, I was 10

 

[Dan13Forever]

Oh yeah, forgot about Pennington at N Y

Actually I didn’t find it all that satisfying. Winning games at this point is secondary to the development of Tua for the long term prospects of this franchise for me. As a matter of fact, I would have been more satisfied if Tua came out and lit it up and Miami lost. Tua’s development should be the primary focus at this point.

Development doesn't happen after one game and it sure as hell doesn't happen after your first pro game and it sure as sure as hell doesn't happen after recovering from an awful injury.

He will be here a long time, slow and steady. Everyone wanted to see 10tds and 4000 yards passing today. Imo, expectations were set waaaaaaaaay too high, especially by some of the cultists on this site.

i love the defense and special teams serving up a nice comfortable win for us.

it doesn't happen all that often.

i will remember this game as Tua's debut, but nothing else.

The Ginn/Henne game against the Jets was on a Monday night in 2009. Great year for the Dolphins vs the Jets, but they got the last laugh. Dolphins swept them, but missed the playoffs; Jets win the wildcard and get to the AFC championship.

As long as X and Jones are healthy, from the performance today and over this season, this defense is legit. We will always in the game. Tua will get plenty of chances to win. He took some big hits, bounced right up. Hip OK. Thats all I want to see today.
Lit it up against this Rams front line in first start, no, thats unrealistic.

...

Based on my reactions that Van Ginkel TD today was every bit as exciting as the Miami Miracle - probably not in reality - but again just based on my reaction - I haven't hollered like that in a long, long time - and it felt good.

I tend to get loud during a MotoGp race, there are intense moments - and extended series of intense moments even, but nothing like a long, unexpected touchdown like that where it all just comes out for 10 seconds straight or whatever. Man that was good!

And the Grand run back....I spilled my beer.

No s**t. I never declared Tua a bust or anything, but I sure would feel better if Tua looked great and honestly he didn't so the win is just another in a long list of meaningless wins if Tua doesn't pan out.

If Tua is an above average qb in his career,with Flo as his coach, with how we have been able to built our team. (the crazy thing is we are only half way through our rebuild with so many early draft picks this off season) With a coach who seems to get the most out of his players. How we were able to win today against a very good Rams team with the yds our offense. The Rams controlled time of poss. almost 2-1 if not more yet we still won. It does not happen in the NFL. We are starting something special. A winning culture where good playerscan do some special things together. We might not need superstars ,just smart above average good players. If we make the playoffs this yr with the draft cap and free agent money we have we are setting ourselves for a great run Also trade for Q Williams on the Jets (Our 2nd) The guy is a beast, a top 3 pick, misused by the Jets . The guy is a player and would help us this yr and we would have control over him for 3 more yrs. He is the best Jets player

I personally found it more gratifying that the Dolphins won and the QB didn't have to be something special. He faced a pretty good D even without Ramsey, and aside from that one pass to Grant i'm not sure he would have made much difference.

The kid should now have the confidence that he doesn't have to do it himself. The coaching staff has to open the playbook more without having Donald to worry about.

Yes and no...finding out what we have in Tua is primary with another big draft coming....

That said...the assumption should be that we can accomplish that and expect Tua to perform at least comparable to a 38 year old journeyman.....

Marino led this team to the playoffs as a a rookie.

Beating NE on the road week 17 last year and knocking them out of a playoff bye was great. TB12’s last regular season home game was a loss to us and his last playoff home game was a loss to Tannehill (as a Patriot). The Miami Miracle was pretty awesome. I personally loved the week 17 game in 2016 where we played the Bills and needed to win to get into the playoffs. Rex Ryan’s dumb face when he flubbed icing our kicker was meme worthy. Beating them in that wild OT was great.
