The Perfect Season

[@MGAF688]

From 1970 through 1974 (5 seasons), Miami was 65-14-1 including the playoffs. Before 1970, Miami was 15-39-2 between 1966 and 1969. All thanks to Don Shula.

[@benescarcega8371]

yes. The goat.

[@williamrowlett740]

I was amazed by Shula. In 1985, the Chicago Bears thought they'd have the perfect season. But I have to think Shula is thinking "not so fast". Coach Mike Ditka for the Bears had been tight end for the Dallas Cowboys in the first Dolphins Super Bowl. And Ditka had caught a touchdown pass in that game. I cannot think that Shula wanted to get even.

No black, no white, no brown, no politics.....just a team with all the love and respect! Thank you guys!!

[@jefferyroy2566]

I don't buy the "no politics" part. There were players, particularly black ones of the Dolphins (they were a minority on that team, unlike today), who were ready to follow the lead of Muhammad Ali and refuse to be inducted. The difference is they kept their beliefs to themselves, except for 17:52 publicity-seeking Mercury Morris. How do I know this? Joe Robbie, the Dolphins owner, had 11 kids and lived a few blocks away from us in Miami Shores. My mother became friends with Liz Robbie, Joe's wife, I had a couple of dates with daughter Debbie, my younger brothers played with their kids, and my mother would share a little team gossip she heard from Liz. My family moved to Houston (I stayed in Gainesville) in late 1973, and attended the Dolphins Super Bowl VIII win and the celebration in the Robbie's hotel suite. Alas, the connection faded just as the team did when the WFL stole Csonka, Kiick and Warfield with money the owners of the Memphis Southmen did not have. Both the team and those three players were never the same after that debacle. After Nixon's resignation in 1974, and Ford's refusal to prosecute the ex-president, the country was not the same either. Exhibit A: You know who.

[@patricksmith5282]

Mark S. I guarantee you there was everything that you said there wasn’t. The difference is no social media in 1972.

Weird comment

[@jefferyroy2566]

@@AbdiqalisMohamud010 It's the mantra for excusing the ongoing existence of systemic injustices. Conservatives are always looking backwards to an imaginary time when the problems of today were rendered invisible by large-scale public ignorance. Thing is, by 1973, these issues were out in the open and haven't faded from view since then. They've only worsened, and are evident when looking at homeless encampments and noticing how most of those folks are white. The economics of it are a subject for another time, but they have transcended race and exposed the injustices for ALL to see.

In '72, the Dolphins lead the league in scoring on offense and fewest points on defense....I was a young teen boy growing up in Florida and watched almost every game...they were loaded with All Star and HOF talent, and with Shula coaching them, they were a beast of a machine...Bob Griese summed it up best years later when he said "we were loaded with talented players that played with a reckless disregard for their bodies".

[@jamesbranham7384]

Dolphins would have had to play in pittsburgh for the afc title game in 74 if they had won the sea of hands game vs the raiders. It should be remembered that swann, stallworth and lambert were all rookies in 74 and all played key roles in their 24-13 defeat of oakland at alameda coliseum in the 74 afc championship. Miami beat pittsburgh in 71, 72, and 73 but the steeler dynasty roster was not complete until 74. Mike Webster was also a rookie in 74 but unlike the other 3 aforementioned players did not play against the raiders in the steelers 24-13 win, not supplanting ray mansfield as the starting center until the 76 season. In the dolphins victories vs the steelers in 71, 72 and 73 it should also be noted that their defense did not fare particularly well while Bradshaw was playing in those games. Jake Scott likely would not have been ready to go vs pittsburgh along with curtis johnson as well. The steel curtain allowed all of 29 yards rushing vs oakland in the afc title game. Also of note is the fact that Vince Costello was running the defense and not Bill Arnsparger. Tough to see how Miami could have won at three rivers minus 2 starters in the secondary and playing on the road. I would predict a close loss. The shame was that 74 was the last year the home sites were rotated amongst the divisions. Under the system used today the first round would have seen buffalo at oakland and pittsburgh at miami. A first round that year at the orange bowl and going in with a healthy scott and johnson I would predict a dolphins win. Then a trip to oakland and if they stay healthy they likely win that too. Then a 3 peat vs the vikings in new orleans. Bottom line is the current seeding system would have resulted in pittsburgh at miami to determine just who would have been the team of the 70's. I'm betting it would have been miami.

[@fritterfoof5146]

Bill Arnsparger was the only Defensive coach to record 2 shut outs in the AFC Championship game in 2 Different decades , 1971 - 1982 . He REBUILT THE NO NAMES into the Killer Bs , Don Shula , failed to REBUILD The Rushing game in the 1980s , Had they had a good ground game , they might have won SB - 17 or SB - 19 although their defensive line was fast at 250 - 265lbs they were getting pushed around by the bigger Offensive lines of the early 1980s negating their quickness by being manhandled so that and the run game was their Achilles heel .

What the 1972 Miami Dolphins did will never happen for any other football team because it is just so hard to do 👍

[@2274brian]

I remember the 84 Dolphins were 11-0 before finally losing their first game in OT to San Diego. The 49ers had the best record in the league, overall and in the regular season, but they had lost before the Dolphins. Miami went 16-0 that year against teams that weren't from the state of California, but 0-3 against teams that were.

Well in 84 Marino didn't have to face Bruce Smith Cornelius Bennett or Jim Kelly and co

[@mm-gl7sz]

@@filthyswitI'm not salty. What I said was true the record he had against those guys speaks for itself. But in 84 he did have to face Montana and the 49ers and pretty much the same thing happened. But I will tell you I would rather that those Marino Dolphins or the Kelly Bills were the ones winning the 6 Super Bowls for the AFC east rather than the cheaters in New England. I hope now that Brady is gone that they are at least no better than mediocre for the rest of Belichicks career. At least the Dolphins and their coach had class except for maybe Bryan Cox. But even he was that way because earlier in his career he didn't have control over his emotions and for some reason Shula couldn't bring him under control. Neither could Dave Wannstadt in Chicago. It took Cox playing first for Parcells with the Jets and then Belichick (one of the few things that Belichick can be admired for)for him to channel those emotions solely on playing and not flying off the handle. I never could figure out why Shula was never able to get him to channel all that energy because he was one of those coaches who was the best at it.

@@mm-gl7sz I agree about the Pats of course. Anybody but them. As for Miami's competition in 1984: 31 and 45 points against Pittsburg's defense which was ranked 5th in the league. 34 points and over 500yds against the 3rd ranked Raider's D. 31 points and over 400yds against Seattle's 6th ranked D. 28 points and almost 400yds against the Cowboys 7th ranked D in a must-win for the Cowboys. 44 and 28 points against the Pats 9th ranked D 7 games (not including the SB) against teams with top 10 ranked defenses and they averaged 34.4 points per game. Explain.

So many teams try to go undefeated The '84' 49ers The '85' Bears The '07' Patriots The '10' Colts The '11' Packers The '15' Panthers The one thing reason why they had that lost they where to confint to easliy relaxed to win and they choked but these '72' Dolphins had to stay focus to beat every team to make them puke out blood and vomit meaning they will not beat

[@mm28778]

The pats went 18-0 and won more games. The dolphins played against bums they never faced a playoff team in the regular season.

exaddict Tom Brady owns the dolphins so it doesn’t really matter. 6 rings

RIP Coach Shula

[@Oat_meal_YT]

Fins up! Dolphins will probably remain undefeated forever.

[@mm-gl7sz]

Of course they will even if someone else goes undefeated and wins the super bowl. That can't be taken away from them ever

[@tromboneman4517]

@@mm-gl7sz, I’m betting that the Kansas City Chiefs are the only modern team that can go undefeated in the regular season and win it all.
