1983 week 10 Dolphins at 49ers

SF was the first team to face the Marino-Dolphins twice. They learned a great deal from this loss and really had a great game plan in SB19. The niners were unquestionably the best team in 1984.

Right, that Ice Cube ko return against Pittsburgh was '86

[@davidpridham9859]

Between 2 decent runs outside of pocket and a 2 yd QB sneak - the game must have been Marion’s greatest rushing performance. He hurt his knee a week or two later and missed time at end ‘83 reg season - but he never ran like this again.

[@johnreese3797]

@wolfen244 The Dolphins were 14-2 and had the number one offense. The 49ers were 15-1 and had the number one defense. The combined record including playoffs was 33-3. The best in Super Bowl history.

[@johnreese3797]

@wolfen244 84 niners were definitely one of the best teams ever. However, I don't think those 84 bears were as impressive. They didn't get the Fridge until 85 and in the 84 playoffs they had to play two straight road games aginst Washington and then SF. You're right about Fred Dean and the Steelers game. Miami actually beat Pitt 31-7 which was the worst loss ever at Three Rivers up to that time.

[@daboys1215]

Marino won this time but they would meet again at the end of the next season and it would be a different result. 49'ers won SB XIX.

Football played outside on real grass. This was when players wore adult sized shoulder pads. Jerseys were simple with no unnecessary lines and stripes.

[@johnreese3797]

You are absolutely right. Everything about this is better than the garbage we have today. From the style of play to the way it's presented, uniforms ,announcers everything. And most of all the officiating. They don't throw a flag after every play. In todays game the offensive player immediately looks around after making a play. He's looking for the flag. They just let them play football. There was no roughing the passer. That nonsense didn't exist until years later.

Dan Marino's first GWD? Game winning drive? How so? The Dolphins scored 20-17 with about 8 minutes left in the quarter. The game was still very much up in that air at that point, and both teams still had multiple drives afterward still trying to score...

[@scottmitchell3641]

Best Miami Dolphins uniforms ever. Best San Francisco 49ers uniforms ever. Joe Montana, what is the deal with your face mask? It has an extra face bar in it and this is the only year in your entire NFL career you will wear this particular brand of face mask. It is actually rather ugly looking. Two horizontal bars are very close to each other. It must be a type of reinforcement. Apparently, your "normal" face mask must have been damaged at some point in the 10-7 loss to the Rams at Candlestick because every single 1983 game after that you always show up with this particular strange looking face mask. Weird.

What a team that Marino inherited in '83. A No. 1 Defense-Least Points Allowed, and running backs that gained OVER 2,000 yds. rushing. Shula didn't know it yet that Dan would be playoff challenged throughout his career-especially in his biggest games.

[@sandramumford817]

Just to explain the above-in Marino's 3 championship game losses he had 4 TD's BUT 6 INT's, a Comp.% of UNDER 50%, an avg. Passer Rating of UNDER 60, and he led his offense to an avg. of only 12 p.p.g. How can a team win championships when their QB is playing like that ??

[@gregtrust5599]

@@sandramumford817 where are you getting your statistics from because you are way off. I see you commenting a lot on Marino videos downplaying his career, where did he hurt you?? Just for clarification, in Marino's 3 afc championship games, he's thrown 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, at least get your facts straight. On top of that, its obvious you just looked up his stats rather than actually watching the games. In the 1992 afc championship vs the bills, he had 3 TD passes dropped in that game alone. Marino didn't win a super bowl because his teams were complete trash, if Dan had the 49ers, he'd have 5-8 rings

[@sandramumford817]

As I clearly said-in his 3 champ. game LOSSES. Two of those were Conf. Champ, games (at home no less) and the other was the S.B. loss. I loved watching Marino perform in the Reg. season but who can deny that he was playoff challenged?

[@sandramumford817]

By the way, P-F-R did a study that showed Marino gave the Dolphins NEGATIVE VALUE in 10 of his po games, and a value in the single digits in 2 others. Dan's TOTAL PO VALUE was a NEGATIVE 156 compared to Elway, Bradshaw, Montana, etc. whose TOTAL PO VALUE was 500 to 1, 000. Dan was PO challenged !!

[@robrob1488]

Sandra - check out the run yards conceded by the Dolphins in Marino’s 10 playoff losses - 2,111! An average of 211 a game. That’s the main reason for the losses. Most of those games Marino was playing from behind and having to throw caution to the wind. Many of those teams Marino carried to the playoffs

This "Great Games, Great Moments" montage was from 1986, because that 100 yard kick return by Gerald McNeil against the Steelers was from the Browns' first-ever win at Three Rivers Stadium, which occurred that season, and that 36 yard TD pass from Ken O'Brien to Mickey Shuler gave the Jets a 14-13 win over the Bills at Giants Stadium that same season. Jets didn't move to that stadium until 1984. Why a "Great Games" sequence from 1986 was shown before a game from 1983, IDK.
