Two major Dolphins records to fall this year

[tubba marxxx]

The whole undefeated thing is kinda tainted ever since the switch to a 16 game schedules


Example:  Let's hypothetically the Packers complete a perfect season


Argument for decades to come:  "The Packers are more impressive for doing it with more games on the schedule"  v.s. " The Dolphins were the first team to do it" 


I really don't care either way, I was born in the mid-80's so I'm not going to lose sleep over another team going undefeated..just saying that the argument is probably never going to die.

Would love to hear some opinions on this: Four QB's are on pace to break the passing yards record or come within a few yards (Brees, on pace for 5376; Brady, 5269; Rodgers 5077; Manning 5052). Does that diminish it if/when one or more of them breaks it? This is obviously a league much more geared to QB play than in '84. Just my opinion, but it seems to somehow "cheapen" the record a little if 3 or 4 guys eclipse it. -EK

If multiple players break the record this season, it just underscores how much the league has changed in the past 25+ years. I don't know that it cheapens the record as such, it's just that the goal posts have moved.

But he's a Heat fan. Yeah, I get it.    It's what people do when they support the home team of the city they live in. It's not just him though, it's everywhere. Hell, we have a bunch of members here who do the same. Droll.

I appreciate your insight upon how to live my life. I'll be sure to consult you when I'm ready to rollover my 401k.

He is just an angry, angry little troll with serious issues and is using Dolphin history as an excuse to vent his frustrations.

You are just a backwoods redneck 45-year old hillbilly who can't commit to liking one team and hating the other at the same.

Please note that the above sentence and your quoted sentence bear a striking resemblance in that they are both full of shit. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but FYI if you want to call me a "angry, angry little troll", then I can call you a backwoods redneck 45-year old hillbilly.

I think this has a lot more to do with it. If Marino were to have played in this era where you can't breathe on a receiver without getting a flag called, you can't sneeze on a QB, or hit a receiver too hard I think he very well might have thrown for 6,000 yards.

I was about to make this same point.  +1

Good deal.

The record has stood for 27 years.  Yeah, its cheap. 

Exactly what AZ said.

He is still digesting that loss to the Skins.
