Thanks for putting this game up. Tough loss especially when Marino threw for over 500 yards. But it was nice to be able to see it again along with the home team radio as well !

The Dolphins need to make the permanent switch back to these uniforms just like the jets switched back to there old jerseys that there wearing in this video.

Was at this game. We knew this was classic Fins V's Jets. Erik McMillan had Marino's number otherwise Marino breaks the record and we win. Ah well, still very fun. Thanks Marino!

As always, THANK YOU! Happy Thanksgiving to you, R!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This was pretty much the story for most of Marino's career. With a few exceptions, Shula and the front office did a very bad job putting a team around Marino. For the most part, they drafted poorly from 85-95.

That's right. They just needed an above average or maybe just average defense. I was trying to think of the defensive talent they drafted during those years, and I can honestly think of 3 guys who were better than decent. John Offerdahl, Troy Vincent and Tim Bowens. 3 guys in 10 years, and all very spread out. It doesn't help either that Shula was so inexplicably loyal to an absolute failure as a defensive coordinator in Tom Olivadotti. I'll never understand how a team known for defense for Shula's first 12 or so years, went completely helpless the rest of his career. Shame. It was all Dan would have needed for a ring.

@@jmbuff1 Add Louis Oliver to the list. The post 85-89 drafts were on the downside of those great Killer B defenses. I would consider Oliver part of the resurgence of the "New School Phins" along w/ Brian Cox, Bowens, Jeff Cross, Klingbeil etc. But I agree with you, Olivadotti's defenses were not aggressive enough to beat Buffalo in the playoffs...when it mattered the most

Bryan Cox and Oliver as well!!but yea the D always let Marino down,but a lot of it was Olividotti,a bad DC!!If only Dan had the D that JJ ended up building,but closer to his prime,I hate to say it but Marino probably woulda venefitted from a coaching change in the early 90's maybe,not late 90's,cuz Shula completely lost touch with the Defensive side of the team,but he didnt have much of a RB threat either,again just missed Ricky Williams,by a few yrs as well!!

Erik McMillian was on his way to Canton after his first 2 years, extremely talented, fast and had good hands for a Safety. Returned a ton of TD's from INT's & fumble recoveries in those first 2 seasons. After 89 he really was just mediocre and kind of fade away.

Typical late 80's Dolphins games: Marino put up huge numbers, but Dolphins lose because they're defense was horrible.

I stayed until halftime and left. I was so ticked. I had come to know my Dolphins well and knew they would lose - so I left.

Thank you so much, Woodstrock15. I've been looking for this game for a long time. Can you upload the 1983 week 12 game between Colts and Dolphins?

Erik mcmillan was great in his first 4 years

I remember watching this. Jim Jensen proposed to his girlfriend before the game, a Dolphins cheerleader, guess she said yes lol. Then went out and had a great game.

Man, the fans look like they're a mile away from the field. No wonder people yearned for the Orange Bowl.

Forgot Tony Franklin ever kicked for Miami, had to be only this season? Him, Mike Lansford of the Rams, Rich Karlis of Denver/Minnesota and Paul McFadden who played for many teams were the trendy barefoot kickers, once the 90s hit you never saw them again.

Loved the 80s era Jets green jerseys, they wore white at home for the latter half of the 80s so in Miami usually and Cleveland would be the only times you would see them wear green.

Lorenzo hampton was a big disappointment

When Marino had to outscore his own defense to win.

5 INT's.

Two were tipped passes - one of which went right through Clayton's hands, one a hail mary and the other an errant throw as he was hit. The only 'bad' throw INT was the attempted back shoulder throw in the end zone that wasn't far enough outside.

Amazing how often rick weaver was way off with his calls. Hope you’re ok Woodstrock it’s been awhile since you posted!

I'm ok! Been staying busy working on other video projects that I can't post here. But there will be more posts in the future!

starting 16:40 Jensen went up for that catch like Moses Malone did for rebounds ! what an effort ! and falling down on your side and back like that i was sure he wouldn't get up . Was this field artificial turf or real grass turf ? when i played astro turf was like falling on concrete .

Special teams were terrible for Miami this game.

Marino and those INT's. Besides 84 and 86, Marino only threw 30 TD's twice.
