Two major Dolphins records to fall this year

[jtex316]

This could be year that two unprecedented records fall:

1. Dan Marino's passing yards in a season record.
2. The Packers go undefeated (and yes 19-0 is greater than 17-0).

This could finally be the year where Dolphin nostalgia dies, which would be the best thing to ever happen to that franchise.

Then I guess we have to wait for Bill Belichick to surpass Don Shula's all-time coaching wins record after that.

[Brian Fein]

I'm willing to bet neither of those things happen.

Doesn't Brees need to average something like 200 yards a game to break the record and isn't Brady just behind him? I have no doubt Marino's record falls. 19-0, I don't see happening.

Why is this in the anti-fins section?  I'm pretty sure that Dan would congratulate the guy that surpasses his 25 year old record and you know what, I honestly think the 17-0 guys would tip their hats to someone that went 19-0. Maybe not Mercury Morris, but he's kind of an ass anyway. LOL

This is jtex's favorite shit stirring section and that was what this thread was created for.

Yes, Brady is just behind him.  3689 vs 3627.  Both have 5 game to go.  Marino's record is 5,084.  Brees would have to avg. 279, Brady 291.  To date Brees is avg 335.4 and Brady avg is 329.7.  So it is quite possible either could break the record.  A lot could depend on if either is rested week 17.

I don't remember the correct number, but wasn't Brees about to do this during their Superbowl run and was just shy by about 20 yards?

[Dave Gray]

I think Marino's record is toast.  New Orleans is built to pass.  The attempts are so much higher, that I think it's inevitable.

Actually it was shy by 15 yards.  But it was in 2008 Saints went 8-8 that year.  And he wasn't ever ahead of the pace to the margin both of them are this year.

The biggest thing Brady and Brees have going for them is that their respective defenses are shitty.

One thing that'll be interesting is what the weather will be like. The Pats play outdoors in all of their remaining games, in cold weather cities to boot. The Saints, on the other hand, play indoors in 4 of their 5 games (with the remaining at LP Field, Nashville, TN).

With what might be the best cold weather QB I can remember in my lifetime.

I still don't understand the Dolphins hate, from a Giants fan

^ He lives in South Florida and is tired of a lifetime of other people praising them.  I get it.  I'd hate the Jets even more if I lived in New York.

Or New Jersey.  Like I do.  And yeah I hate the Jets.  Touche.

I'm sure that Miami will knock Brady out of the running in Week 16.
