1985 week 10 Jets at Dolphins

[@maxaroni15]

That Duper catch is my favorite live sporting event moment! 🐬

[@thegreatrenaldo7718]

Jets fan but I always loved Marino, Clayton and Duper. They were outstanding

[@michaelgura3207]

I just relived this great dolphins moment because of this upload! Awesome. 14 years old again, if only for a minute. SUPER DUPER!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

The Orange Bowl is a great example of how sometimes what you lose can't be measured in dollars and cents. The Dolphins were such a great team at home during their run there...and have been patently mediocre in whatever you call Joe Robbie Stadium today. I'm sure they'd love to replicate the atmosphere that existed in that madhouse. Same for teams like Washington with RFK.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

From 1970-1986, they lost more games than they won at the Orange Bowl ONCE (that was in the final year, 1986)

[@bensantiago4557]

There definitely seems to have been a magic there that was lost after the Orange Bowl was gone.Was an almost surreal place to watch a game at night.

[@kevin4209]

Was the Orange Bowl in the same location of the current Marlins Ballpark? I never cared much for Joe Robbie until they renovated it a few years ago. Much nicer now sitting in the shade as opposed to baking in the Miami sun.

[@raypratt3611]

I agree,I can remember when they used to have to stop play on the field cuz it was too loud for the visiting offense,ever since the move for whatever reason its just not as loud,EVER!!even when they had good seasons,just never the same level,really weird!!

[@mikeandrews1899]

​​@@raypratt3611 you can thank MLB and soccer for the difference ..... In the OB the fans were a lot closer to the field of play

[@frankrizzo4460]

I was at this game with my dad and when Marino threw that td to Duper I have to say I've never heard the Orange Bowl louder than that ever before and we went to many games back then. It was a really fun time in Miami to be a Dolphins fan in the 80s. I truly miss those times I'm glad I at least experienced as a kid. Great memories 🤔

[@intmailmc]

Not a Dolphins fan but I remember watching this game as a kid. Great times. Looking back on it I wonder how much coke Duper was on- regardless- he was awesome.

[@chris-tg1hv]

I was there with my dad, too. We were visiting FL from the NY area so I was rooting for the Jets. I remember we parked our car in someone's driveway near the Orange Bowl. My dad and I were shocked that the woman was unable to speak English lol. Different country then

[@bigchee8263]

I was heartbroken by this game as a Jets fan. These games were great back then.

1-1 between us that year. And then there was the next one we played in 1986...

I remember the cutaways to this game as I was watching my Raiders lose in San Diego in another of their classic shootouts. 1985 was the year I first remember watching football and it was awesome. The colors, the speed, the presentation...it's totally nostalgia, but the game felt more fun back then. But that's a function of my childhood and imagination.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Look at those late games..... Jets/Dolphins, Raiders/Chargers, Cowboys/Redskins. Good lord, that is a loaded timeslot

Just better times and real goofball it seemed lol. I mean honestly I remember names of alot of the players on teams I didn't care to much for back then and now I could only name a few of my favorite teams today, uncanny and unexplainable lol

[@coachNewman17]

Cowboy fan here...growing up in San Diego, watched a lot of Dolphins, Broncos, Raiders and Chargers. Didn't get a lot of Cowboy games. However, as a football fan, I loved watching those teams to include Steelers and Browns. Dick Enberg and Merlen Olson were just as good as Madden and Summerall. Watching this brings back such good memories of the NFL in the 80's. LOVE THE COMMERCIALS!!!!!

[@ATCguy1973]

I grew up a Jets fan and this was a heartbreaking loss, but it was a great football game overall. Thank you for the upload 😊

Thank you so much for these games my friend. Was starting to watch the Monday night game with the Patriots and ran into this one and " touchdown Mark Duper!!" " Duper has returned, and he is super!!" Thank you sir, you have no idea what the 80s Dolphins mean to me lol. I'm from Chattanooga TN and the Dolphins were my market back then on NBC. Fell in love with the fins in Superbowl 17 then Dan the man Marino and the Marks brothers hit the scene! Wow, just wow.

[@DolFan316]

I lived less than an hour away from Memphis and they were always on TV for me as well right up until the Oilers moved from Houston.

[@DolFan316]

I would say that last TD throw to Duper is one of the top 5 plays in Dolphins history at least. Off the top of my head I can't think of 4 plays that were bigger or more important. I'm not talking games, but single plays.

[@raypratt3611]

His throw to FRYAR against NE in his comeback gm in 94 was very similar to this one,except that one was a 4th and 5!!Lamar Smith TD run against colts in WC gm in 00,Mark Clayton TD catch against KC in 90 WC gm Marino fake spike against jets in 94 and honestly thats right off the top,I dont think this one is above any of those,but it was awesome!!

[@buster60341]

I love those Dolphins old uniform with the number on the selves when I was a little kid but the Dolphins shouldn't have never change those uniform during the 1987 NFL season

[@kidmack1121]

They can't put the numbers on the sleeves anymore, because there aren't any sleeves.

[@scottmitchell3641]

Later in the 1985 NFL season the Chicago Bears would go on the road and meet the Jets. The Bears defense would absolutely crush this same super powerful New York Jets offense that had exploded all over the Miami Dolphins defense not once but twice. The Jets offense would experience this crushing by the Bear defense right in front of their own fans. I wish Miami's defense could have played like that. Too bad.

[@raypratt3611]

Yep and Marinos offense ripped the Bears for 38 pts!!

[@rustykuntz94]

These Green ones particularly are awesome. They wore these specific uni’s from 1978-89. From 1990-97 they tweaked the shade of green slightly and added a little bit of black. Then in 1998-present they went back to the Joe Namath era jerseys/colors.

The Dolphins haven;t been the same since they made their first significant uniform switch before the '86 season. Those didn't look bad mind you, but it was at that point that they went from Super Bowl contenders to mediocre and haven't gotten back to their early '80s level since, not to mention each successive uniform change after that just looked worse and worse.

I was 7 years old, watching this game with my Grandparents. My Nana lived and died for the Dolphins. She woulda absolutely voted for Shula for president. Lol. When the Jets scored with a minute left i started crying and ran as fast as my little legs could carry me into the laundry room. Nana followed me in there , hugged me and told me, " Quit your crying boy. It ain't over. And we got Marino." She then called it. " He'll hit one of the Marks to win it". We all jumped and screamed for joy when Duper scored. Nana jumped out of the chair and exclaimed , " What did I tell you ?! The Jets ain't been shit since Namath was wearing pantyhose. " Good times. The Dolphins were once one of the marquee franchises in the NFL. Poor ownership is the primary cause of this decline.

Dolphins defense blasted by the Jets again! Earlier in the year on Monday Night Football the Jets rolled up 476 yards of total offense on Miami. In this game they rolled up 491 yards. Staggering!! But, so what? Miami still won anyway. Miami won in heroic fashion too. Miami refused to let the Jets sweep them and leave them for dead. Instead, Miami fought their way back into the thick of the AFC East division race of 1985.

[@DolFan316]

Believe it or not at this point in time it was only the 3rd ever win in NFL history by a team that was outgained by at least 90 yards AND had a turnover margin of -3 or more. The Jets just kept finding new and creative ways to not score for nearly 3 quarters.

Miami's defense was a disaster most of Dan Marino's prime. This is why it's so moronic when people act like it's Marino's fault he didn't win a super bowl. That crap defense was embarrassing. A major stain on Shula's otherwise great career was keeping clueless DC Olivadotti as coach, and the front office not improving the defense for years.

I couldn't root for the Raiders back then under any circumstances, except for when they faced the Redskins in The Super Bowl.
