I think this was a thrilling victory but it still trails when I go back in recent history to the Jets loss 40 to 37 or the most exciting game of all time, Miami vs San diego in 1982 playoffs 41 to 38.
I never was on such a emotional rollercoaster like that day in 1982, it was the best and the worst day of my life all in one .
How would most of you rate Sunday victory with any game College, High School or Pro?
 
well both of those games were thrillers for whoever was watching. this one was just an amazing day for Dolphins fans.
 
I think this one is the greatest of this decade. I think greatest ever would have to be the 72 superbowl victory
 
I don't think it was a "thrilling" game by standard measures, but I believe this win will have a HUGE impact in the future of this franchise and will be remember as the game that started the Dolphins' dynasty!!! Go Phins!!!
 
I was thrilled because no one gave us a chance, and I´am happy Miami proved them wrong.
Just looking back at those old school games brings back memories when we seem to be allways part of a " Best game off all time ". It would be nice to get back to that old school feeling of the 80s and 90s.
 
I think when you look at the contrast of opponents, the imagination of the play calling, and the unbelieveable 5 TDs by Ronnie, I think this game is definately one the Dolphin greats.
 
It's up there as far as satisfaction goes, gor sure. The Playoff game vs the Colts and Lamarr SMiths performance was....Amazeing. That last run where he destroyed the defense was sheer, brutal, art.
 
I was all against playcalling... but watching the game against NE, Sparano and his boys really caught my eye..
 
It was up there on my list. This game reminded me of that game when the Dolphins beat the Bills in 92 or 93 in Buffalo 37-10 when the Bills were going to the Super Bowl year after year. I remember Louis Oliver intercepting Jim Kelly and taking it back for a 103 yard touchdown. This game had that same type of feeling even though the Dolphins were a better team then than right now. It was the shock factor I guess.
 
We've really lowered our standards for "greatest game ever". This isn't even the greatest Dolphins-Patriots game ever, OR this decade. AJ Feeley pulling off the miracle in Miami was 100x more satisfying than this, i'm sorry. That win was over the soon to be World Champion Patriots WITH Tom Brady, and we were a 4-12 football team.

As far as where this ranks in Dolphins history as a great game, it's not even close. Sorry. Good game, great win, satisfying, made us all happy, much needed but it doesn't hold a candle to some of our other classics. Even classic defeats like the Marino 6 TD game and the Dolphins-Chargers game in 81.
 
It's up there--top 10--but not close to the two Super Bowl wins or the 85 Monday Night win over Da Bears. I mean, how could you not love a game where Bud Brown talks trash over someone?

I don't know. I bet if I think about it, I could come up with a bunch of better games.

It has got to be one of the best games of the last few years though, so with a short memory I am fine putting it high up.
 
I think what made it so huge was that we have gone through so much losing recently that we really needed something like this. Our recent past made sure that I appreciated this victory as much as possible.
 
While it was an exciting win, I think it's one of many exciting games we've had. Although I have to admit that the first direct snap took me back to the clock play. It was an 'I'll be damned' moment that had that combination of "I can't believe they tried that" and "I can't believe it worked!!"

Sunday was my Super Bowl.
