Not sure if this has been posted yet. Just saw that NFL Network will be showing the 1994 Dolphins vs Chargers game at 8PM CST today, the 25th of September.

Get your DVR ready, or for you nostalgic people...your VCR.
 
I was 7 years old at the time of this game. I still remember chucking my plush football at the wall and crying after Pete missed that field goal.
 
So did we win that game? I was 5 months and 25 days old so dont remember very well

I just threw up a little in my mouth. One of the most disappointing Dolphins ever. Now Fins vs Chargers in the 1992 playoffs would be fun to watch again.
 
I miss those uniforms. I guess I havent realized until now but I miss the old logo also.
And the flat white helmet, not the sparkly mess they have now

and last but not least I miss Danny-boy, just watching the first half of this game and seeing him throw 3 (!) tds. that is like 6 games for todays Phins. I love we want run the ball but I miss a qb slinging the ball around and keeping the defense off balance. At times in this replay Marino has made the Chargers Defense look just plain silly. Granted I have only watched the first half and dont remember what happened in the 2nd half.

Yes alot was expected of that team however I certainly have much fonder memories and enjoy watching them play more than the current team, that's for sure!! I'm sure alot of that has to do with Dan Marino and his brilliance!!:hump:

Also those were the days when several manufacturers made the NFL jerseys.....if you notice that the Chargers jerseys are made by Starter and the Dolphins are made by Wilson. I was so obsessed with having the exact jersey worn on the field, made by the correct manufacturer back then, it was scary!

I was so PO'd after that game. I had to go see David Copperfield at the Jackie Gleason Theatre with my girlfriend after the game and was soooo miserable.

Yes, the Fins/Chargers playoff game from 92 was much better!!

No, we did not win... it was one of the most disappointing losses in team history. We blew a 4th quarter lead and Stoyanovich missed the game-winning FG as time ran out.

Couldn't agree more on the uniform point... as far as Danny- watching that 1st half made me remember what it was like to have a QB who just did whatever he wanted to whoever he wanted whenever he wanted. While I thoroughly enjoyed watching that again, it's served to depress me (again) about what the QB position has been for us since he retired.

Agree 100% on the jerseys. I remember getting a Dan marino jersey made by Champion and feeling it was second rate becaus eteh Fins wore Wilson. I then ended up getting an awesome deal on an authentic wilson dan marino jersey in 1997 (after the logo switch which was why the 1996 jerseys were so cheap). I had it for 12 years and recently sold it on ebay for 2.5 times what I paid for it. All is good, though, because I purchased another 1996 authentic wilson dan amrino jersey made by wilson on ebay for $90 (needed a bigger size than my old 44 lol).
 
Remember, folks, this game was the same year as marino's monster game against NE on opening weekend. This wa sthe year he returned from the Achilles tear.
 
I was i was 9 and i was so damn happy seeing Jerry Rice and Steve young beat them in the big one.
 
I watched the game again and I really noticed the difference in arm strength between Marino and Pennington. Marino's throws 15-25 yards were on a rope and in a position for YAC. Penny's throws much slower and have a higher arc on jump ball or comeback routes. We need to find a TE like Keith Jackson...he was a beast. It was fun watching Bryan Cox again too.
