1984 Divisional Playoff Seahawks at Dolphins

[@henryflowers9996]

It was a Joy watching Dan Marino throw a pass. He had the ability to put the ball where no other quarterback could. He is still the greatest quarterback of all time.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yes I totally agree with you I lived in South Florida when he was playing for the Dolphins and went to many games at the Orange Bowl, in my opinion he absolutely was one of the greatest.

@@suhailalmlahi7096 It's easy to be the goat when 95% of your opponents are total trash just barely good enough to beat the local high school team.

[@steves9964]

@@suhailalmlahi7096 I'm no Marino fan but any quarterback that played after the rules were changed in the early 2000s can't be considered the best. I'd also take Montana over anyone, but if he's not there gimme Marino, Elway, Kelly, Young, Favre, etc. over anyone today. Marino's era was the best in football history because there was balance in the game, both between running and passing as well as among offense, defense and special teams. Teams had different identities, and multiple blueprints could net you a Lombardi. Nowadays you're going nowhere without an elite quarterback because "they've" demanded the quarterback be irreplaceable. Marino lit up my Jets just as Brady did later on more times than I care to remember, the difference being Marino and his brethren got beat down...a lot. They played with a fear or at least a healthy respect for the defense that just doesn't exist today. And maybe that's for the best, but the game just isn't as interesting. Comparing eras is pointless but if it must be done this fact can't be overlooked.

[@johnflowers2736]

I think Dan Marino is Great as well. Time should not dull the absolute "Greatness" that Dan Marino accomplished on the football field. Truly one of the greatest of all time.

[@scottmitchell3641]

One of those rare games in Dan Marino's career where his passing was complemented with a solid Dolphins running game and a solid Dolphins defense. The Seahawks looked completely unprepared to play this game. They were probably still hung over from the euphoria of knocking the defending Super Bowl Champion Raiders out of the playoffs one week earlier. Dan Dolphin and the Miami Marinos.

[@daveconlin8342]

That was a rough game and AFC west was brutal.Hawks were 12-4 wildcard.

[@JonathanEvans1977]

The dolphins defense was solid all year in 1984 though. They weren't great but definitely solid. I think they gave up 296 pts which is like 18ppg. I also believe they had the #1 defense in the nfl in 1998 but still got stomped by the Broncos 💀.

[@brianlyle7017]

I wish the Dolphins would go back to these classic uniforms rather than the Sea World outfit they currently wear.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yes I agree with you, I prefer the older uniforms as well.

Marv Albert & John Brodie w tha call 4 NBC!

[@sce2aux464]

Thanks. Marv I recognized right away. I had no idea that it was former 49er QB (and later PGA Senior Tour Champion) John Brodie.

44:39 #33 Dan Doornink resumed his medical school classes on Jan 31 . Another scholarly, learned nfl football player was great Minnesota Vikings Lineman Alan Page. He studied Law off season . He became a practicing attorney and was later appointed a federal judge ( not supreme court , there are other federal judges in the US) . Another guy which comes to mind was Penn state All american lineman Mike Reed . I don't know if or how long he played in the NFL but he was a formally trained classical pianist . Later he play and tour with legitimate , also formally trained classical pianist and comedian Victor Borge . Also Frank Ryan qb with the Cleveland Browns when they won old NFL championship with Jim Brown (1965?) . Ryan worked on and received a PhD in mathematics while with the Browns .

[@marcschneider4845]

I went to law school in Miami with Ed Newman, one of the Dolphins guards. He eventually became a state court judge in Miami.

Dolphins once again avenging a playoff home loss by whoopin the team that beat them the year before. Did it to San Diego after the 82 season.

[@grxracer-1606]

The only Hall of Fame game for the Dolphins since Superbowl VIII 1973 was the defeat of the undefeated Bears on a Monday in 1985. 38-24. Otherwise, that,s about it.

[@fritterfoof5146]

Marino , 5 playoff wins in 17 yrs .

[@underwriter100]

they were a one dimensional pass only team that got exposed by the better balanced teams in the playoffs. Back then you needed a running game & a defense to win. I would add the 1992 SD playoff game to the mix. SD had won 8 in a row & 12 of 13 going into that game. Everyone was picking them to beat Miami & they got blown out

They would have beaten any AFC team during the playoffs, even Raiders who they lost to earlier in the season, despite Marino breaking TD records during that game. It’s a shame they came up short during the Super Bowl that year though.

The Dolphins seek revenge against the Seahawks.

[@JonathanEvans1977]

That dolphins kicker was horrific 😂 I had to goodle him after seeing he was 9-19 fg on the year. I learned this was his last season in the nfl Came in the league in 1979 💀

58:46 unbelievable touchdown catch and run by Largent

[@vengeance1701]

Any idea what game that was at the beginning? It clearly looked like it was from a later Dolphins game given Marino's jersey.

[@stuvo1977]

The Seahawks really missed Curt Warner. Balance and ball control was the way defeat the Dolphins with Marino.

If the Hawks didnt lose Curt Warner the first game of the season they would ve had a run gane to go with the great passing game and D.The D had 3 shutouts that season.Went 12-4 and were wild card.Run game would ve given them one more win and the west.

[@boxingjerapah]

Shame the Raiders couldn't get past the Seahawks and we were denied a repeat of the regular season thriller.

Man I hated the 3 California teams that year!
