What was the most disapointing loss in Dolphin history?

Well, based on my spotty memory and being a fan through only the 90s and 00s, these games stick out to me. All of them are mentioned before, but why not mention them again?


5) The 62-7 loss. It's the Dolphins in the playoffs, and it's over after the first quarter. It's Dan Marino's final game, and he might as well have just let Jay Fiedler play and take the fall.

Wasn't Jay Fiedler on the Jacksonville Jaguars squad during this game? I remember him playing for Jacksonville around this time....ohhh the irony.
 
I was too young for the 80's games. The most disapponted I've ever been was after a playoff game against the Chargers in 94 or 95. At halftime they interviewed Rod Woodson and he said "it looks like we'll be playing Miami in the championship game." The second half was a disaster, I think Miami came out up 21-7 or something and San Diego came back. I remember a touchdown run by Natrone Means, he stepped out of bounds at around the 3 and of course the refs signaled touchdown. I'm not lying, he was that far from the goal line. It just seemed the refs were against us the whole half. The final drive our little reciever from UCLA (I forget his name) was smacked in mid air as the ball was coming at him from Marino and the ref was seriously torn on if he should throw the flag...after about 5 seconds he knew it was too obvious not to call it. He looked mad that he had to actually call a penalty against San Diego. It gave us a shot at around a 48 yard field goal that Stoyo missed and the game ended. I was really down on that one. San Diego squeked by Pittsburgh and got smashed by San Fran in the SB. I actually rooted for the niners in that one, ugh.

Edit: I went to bed at the start of the 4th qrt of the Meadowland Meltdown. I got harrassed at work the next morning and I thought they were pulling a prank. I've never seen the highlights and still think Miami won and will not believe otherwise, we kicked their tails!:D
 
The home AFC Championship game loss against Buffalo in 1993 is a definite candidate....
 
i agree, losing the afc championship at home was terrible, i have nightmares of screen passes from that game.
 
For me it was 2 loss's that hurt the most. I grew up in Rochester, NY ( Bill Country). But growing up we dominated the Bill's, so the lost that hurt the most was the first time we lost to them in the Orange Bowl after beating them for so many years in a row. The next one was when we lost to the Pats the first time in the Orange bowl as well. We enjoyed long winning streaks against both teams. As a fan you never want to see that type of dominance end.

On a side note there weren't any Bill's fans to be found until they started to win in the 90's. Up until then I was able to get Dolphin vs Bill tickets right behind the Dolphin bench not a problem.

Being that I'm "young" I only remember so many games. But the game that killed me was:

Miami at San Diego, AFC Divisional Playoff

Good ol' Pete Stoyanovich. FG would've taken us to the AFC Championship.

When was that? 90, 91? I was 11 or 12. I cried too :cry:

It was after the `94 season. I was at the Murph for that one, tough, tough loss...I don`t remember much about the drive back up to Ventura, lets just say I made a few stops along the way. When I got home my roommate had put a can of dolphin safe tuna on my bed. Damn Stoyanovich anyway!!

For me......its the 1985 AFC Championship game at the Orange Bowl, the year the Bears were dominant and only lost to Marino and the Dolphins on Monday night, we should have beaten the Pats that day and Marino should have had his second crack at a Superbowl win against that great Bears team he had already beaten....instead the Dolphins fumbled the ball 5 or 6 times(can't remember which one) and the Patsies went on to get slaughtered in Superbowl XX.

That one takes the cake for me. I went to that game on a charter bus from Daytona. I'll never forget the stupid drunk Patriot skank who wandered onto our section. She kept standing up and saying over and over "Those are my cinderella boys", spilling her beer all over the place "Those are my cinderella boys" in that friggin Boston accent. She was farting and burping and just a vile pig. She was so hammered that she had no idea someone had tied her shoelaces together while she was standing up and screaming "Those are my cinderella boys". She tried to walk and went a$$ over teakettle into the seats below, where she was promptly doused with an assortment of fluids courtesy of the very people she had been spilling her beer on the whole game. She crawled to the aisle , stood up, and went like a slinky down to the bottom of the section after falling again. The security guards dragged her off, with her screaming "Those are my friggin cinderella boys" at the top of her lungs. That game sucked.
 
Two stick out in my mind...

-1992 AFC Championship Game in Miami...loss to Buffalo.
-1994 loss to San Diego in the playoffs...blowing a huge second half lead. It felt like Marino was never on the field in that half & Stoyo missed a FG that could have pulled it out!:shakeno:

I am pretty sure it was Scott Miller who got decked on that play, and I remember it being right on the infield dirt, too. I remember that game like it was yesterday. I still don't know what was more pathetic in the second half of that game: the 'phins run defense or watching Michael Stewart and Gene Atkins run around the defensive backfield like a couple of ******s (umm..mentally challenged people) while Mark Seay and Tony Martin licked their lips and had a field day.

I don`t think there`s any infield dirt during a playoff game in January.
 
My least favorite loss is every season when we lose to Buffalo, Jersey, or NE. Outside of that, I try to go clean-slate into each year- thinking about the past gives me chest pains...
 
The Miami- Frisco loss was bad, but at the time, like every other Dolphin fan I thought we were about to own the Superbowl, over and over. For me, the Jets loss was and still is the worse, someone else said it and it's true for me too, that game STILL haunts me. I was moross for weeks, I pouted and was mean as a stepped on snake for a long time. The guys at work quickly learned that if they weren't willin' to fight for real, then no comment, snicker or snort had better be made. Look at me rant, I'm still hatin' it. I hate the jets arrrrgggggg :fire:
