    The 99 season was bad but I think that 95 was worse. This was would be Shula's last year. This team was being picked by many to go to the Super Bowl. The team started out 4-0 and went on to lose the next three by a total of 9 points.

    After Jimmy Johnson was hired, I thought it was a matter of time before we got to the Super Bowl. Well, I am still waiting....

    Here's another horror story: the 1994 divisional playoff against San Diego. We were up 21-2 when I had to leave cause I had a YMCA basketball game. We were playing the Blue Team. I found myself daydreaming about the Dolphins during the game. "Man if we were up 21-2 when I left, we'll probably be up 42-4 when I get home!"

    So I get home and flip on the TV and San Diego is kicking an extra point to go up 22-21 with like 50 seconds to go. Fuck. And Marino, bless his heart, leads the team down to attempt like a 42 yard field goal! That's all you can do. And whereas Adam Veneteri makes clutch kicks and thus Tom Brady is clutch, Pete Stoyonivic STOYYYS one off to the right and thus Marino can't get it done. Fuck.

    My wife was my girlfriend then. She was visiting my fam in the Bay Area, on a small break from Maine. My Dad had planned an awesome night in SF for all of us. He was a Chargers fan at the time. So all day he's breaking my balls "don't get too worked up when the Chargers blow out your team, we're going all the way this year, blah, blah, blah". We had that incredible lead, I'm thinking there is no way we lose, etc...
    Long story short, my fist that was 10x swollen from punching a hole through the garage wall in a fit of immature anger/stupidity after that game and was useless trying to cut steak @ dinner that night...hurt like a bitch during the performance of "Beach Blanket Babylon" that evening...and there were literally no words spoken to me or from me for a good 6 hr stretch.
    Ahhh, good ol' Dolphins football :lol:

    Ha, there's still a hole in my bedroom at my parents house from when I punched right through it during the Monday Night Miracle. A guy I know threw his recliner out of a 4th floor window after a Dolphins loss. :lol:

    I just watched Marino from 93 and when he got hurt in Cleveland. That was probably their best team of the bunch. God, I'm fucking depressed now.

    Just one, all I want is just one Super Bowl win. That's it. I'm not greedy.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Alright enough of the bad stuff. The Phins have given us fans plenty of good memories. Lets not forget the AFC Championship game in which the Phins won 14-0 in the old Orange Bowl. A.J. Duhe had 3 picks and retuned one for a TD. This was the first Dolphins game I remember. I was 6 years old an it was pouring rain.

    Am with you...All I want is one Super Bowl also. If that ever happens I will probably cry like a little kid from happiness.

    Yeah but I was born in 1983 and became a Dolphins fan when I was about 6. So while I've always had great interest in those early 70's teams and will happily watch a documentary or read a book about them (look forward to Griese's new book), they're not "mine" ya know? Like....the Miami Dolphins (1966-1988) and the Miami Dolphins (1989-present) are two totally different franchises to me. My Miami Dolphins have never played in the Super Bowl. Ever.

    YOU'RE not greedy? lol, all I want is a Super Bowl APPEARANCE. That's it. If they win, awesome. If they lose, so be it. But I just want the excitement of the two weeks leading up to that game. I want to watch endless hours of meaningless, repetitive coverage. I want to watch them walk out for the coin toss and be like "Whoa, this is REALLY happening! LET'S DO THIS!!!!!" I would love every second of it. I've watched many friends get to have it happen. Mostly Giants and Steelers fans. The worst was 2004. I'm from near Philly, but I hate the fucking Eagles. Believe it or not, I cheered for New England. I know I'm supposed to hate them and all...but at least at that point I had learned to live with them as the champions. I couldn't live with the Eagles as the Super Bowl champions. By the way, our best player retired in his prime to smoke pot that year.

    1984 and losing that Super Bowl was one of my most traumatic experiences. 12 yrs old. Knew every player by #. Marino was my hero already. Grew up in Long Island. Every degenerate Jet cheering friend and relative became pseudo Niners fans...That Monday on the school bus I literally cried from the berating...trust me, being in it is great, the depression and let down after losing it and having to hear how Joe Montana is the greatest thing since slice bread is vomit-inducing.
    Would love to play in it again. Could die with a smile on my face when we win. I only want one in my lifetime.
    F Ricky the quitter f&%k-stick scumbug - hate that dude FOREVER for how he set our franchise back.
    Not that I'm bitter or anything...

    News of the day 9/20:

    --> Revis IS playing Sunday
    --> Blackout looms!!! Last time the Dolphins had a home game blacked out was 2000 playoffs against Indy. Last time in regular season was '98 vs. St. Louis.
    Wow - over 12000 tickets available for this heated rivalry - Dolphins got a 24 hr extension from the league for the TV blackout. Team must sell 85 percent of non-club seats (51000) for blackout to be lifted.
    :roll:
    Vs the JETS - arguably our #1 rival...how can this be??? If this game doesn't sell out, which one will? You think Ross buys up 10k + tickets???
    Baffled

    Yeah I think Ross and CBS4 will but up the tickets. Sad thing is to work. I am trying to make out to the Jacksonville game on Dec. 16.

    Thanks for the wallpaper on my iPhone. Matches perfectly w/ my "J-E-T-S suck suck suck" ringtone!
    Game makes me a tad nervous in all honesty...
    Lots at stake - Ryan the defensive whiz vs Tannehill the rook
    If Reggie/Lane/Miller can run it effectively and we can make a few plays on D, we can pull this one out!
    GO MIAMI!!!

    Only 3 hrs and 13 mins to kickoff!
    No Dustin Keller for NYJ today!!!
    The Fins have had a major problem stopping seam TE's for a LOOOONG time, this is good news for today's game...this could mean the Jets will rely heavily on three-receiver sets
    I like our chances in this game
    RUN REGGIE RUN
    Our running game should batter that run D - they are 27th in rushing yds allowed...
    The Dolphins' top-ranked rushing defense (per carry) should easily hold Green to under 100 yds (94 vs Buff & 23 vs Pitt)...
    Our secondary scares me a little bit vs The Jets - I really don't want to see them (NYJ) gatorade bath Sparano on our field today
    LET'S GO MIAMI!!!

    Just an ugly-ass game from two mediocre teams. I mean I guess we ran the ball well and Tannehill got us down for a FG at the end of regulation so that's good. But fucking yuck to everything else about this game.

    I am just totally fucking disgusted with that game. There's really not anything more to say. If Bush is gone we're totally screwed. They need to have him to ease the pressure onTannehill as he developes. Daniel Thomas just sucks. Can't stand that guy.

    Correct

    cannot dispute anything you or Ledbetterman10 posted...

    That all being said, if DC $$$ makes 1 FG we win...
    Philbin with bad TO management
    DC missing FGs
    Jimmy Wilson getting burnt
    Tannehill with a bad pick
    plenty of ways to lose...We found a way for sure :roll:
    Season ain't over by a long shot
    Just gotta hope Bush doesn't have MCL/ACL issues
    F the Jets
    We get them in a few more weeks, let's handle business then
    AZ looks for real :cry: Hopefully they overlook us
    GO PHINS

    POSITIVES!!!:
    The Dolphins owned a 147-43 edge in rushing yards through three quarters and were averaging 4.5 yards per carry – and Bush did not play in the second half
    Thomas and Miller combined for 104 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries in regulation for an average of 4.3 yards per carry...
    Chris Clemons came up with his first interception of the season...
    FB Lane picked up the 1st rushing touchdown of his career with 1:45 left in the third quarter from one yard out...
    Dolphins DTs Soliai & Starks took control of the interior early and forced the Jets to run sweeps and play-action passes...allowing some additional pressure on Sanchez. …
    Miami’s OL easily moved the Jets’ front seven and opening lanes for Bush,Thomas and Lane to run through. Bush had 50 rushing yards on just six carries in the first quarter… Miami’s secondary came up big when it needed to...
    Running back Lamar Miller,Wide receiver Davone Bess, &Safety Chris Clemons all played great & the Fins OL battles the Jets D for 172 ground yards through four quarters.
    Stay positive Fins Fans...today's loss sux balls, but we'll bounce back!!!
