Parmalee and Byars were probably the two best RB’s Marino ever had. Byars was great catching passes out of the backfield. This was Shula’s next to last year and they just couldn’t beat the Bills. It was downright aggravating.
This is the game that made Bernie Parmalee my favorite Fins RB of Shula's final decade. Yes, other RBs from '85-95 had more yards and TDs (Parmalee had barely more yards and fewer TDs than the utterly unremarkable Lorenzo Hampton) but setting a franchise record for most rushing yards in consecutive games at the time while still killing it on special teams made one hell of an impression on me.
I sure do miss Shula - he was such a calm, professional, yet creative coach. It would have been nice if the team could have made a bit more of Marino's talent and won some superbowl(s).
Nice channel, and I like very much the inclusion of the radio call, but this game calls for more Parmalee highlights, including a bunch of nice running and especially the thunderous hit that knocked Rocket Ismail out of the game.
Great game, great memories - but why doesn't the video feature tons more of Parmalee's superb day? He had 30 carries for 150 yards, recovered two fumbles on special teams, and knocked out Rocket Ismail on a punt. I say consider re-editing this to include these highlights. Without his contributions, Miami would not have won.
Aweee Jim mandich! I wirked at Shulas in miami lakes back then! On Monday nights we filmed the Don Shula show right before Monday Night Football. Jimmy cefalo Jim mandich, Steve Shapiro oh, those days were so much fun
Dolphins and Raiders have played some good games through the years. Raiders beat the Dolphins in 1984 in a good game, high scoring. Low scoring game in 1990 was close. Dolphins won pretty easily in 1992.
Jeff Hostetler got yanked for audibling out of a running play to a passing play, which he was sacked for a 10 yard loss, then he was disrespecting Art on the sideline who called him out for doing it.
Not hard to believe at all. Hostetler was engineering a fantastic New York Giants team that had a devastating defense, an extremely solid offense with a great line and a powerful running game, excellent receivers and an all-time great coach. Marino - on the other hand - was the greatest qb to ever play stuck on teams that were either barely mediocre or horrendously bad. Thanks mainly to Don Shula's outrageously bad job of drafting, after he moronically got Bobby Beathard pushed out as GM. Worst fourteen year draft record in NFL history, and it left the team without a new talent cycle after the Killer Bee's team aged out. Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Jim MacMahon, Joe Flacco, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams Jim Plunkett and other mediocre QB's also have rings, because teams win championships, not QB's. I hope no one is stupid enough to think that if Tom Brady played on these Dolphin teams he would have come within a hundred miles of a single ring.
Actually the game had no business being this close and the Fins made the win a whole lot harder than it should've been, something they did on a regular basis at this time.
filthyswit Marino could've made it a shootout, and if he could beat the Bears he could take down anyone. This was by far the best supporting cast he had during his career 93-94, those were the years they were supposed to win the SB
This was not even close to being good team. The offensive line was bad and a Dolphins running back having a 100 yard game was an anomaly. You have the best passer in NFL history, and his two starting receivers are an old Irving Fryar (absolutely great in his prime in New England but lacking any speed by the time he landed in Miami) and Mark Ingram (a mediocre WR with no speed whatsoever). They could not stretch any defense deep with these two. Keith Jackson was great but that's why he drew constant double coverage and he was also not a deep threat. The offense struggled for every yard they got (which is absurd when you have Marino at QB) and struggled to get anyone open, struggled for any yards-after-catch. And could not keep any defense honest because the running game was usually non-existent. Bryan Cox coming up with big plays here and there could not hide the larger fact that this defense was bad in big spots against any good team. Same old story; greatest QB ever stuck on a very limited and predictable offense and a bad defense. This season ended in an AFC divisional playoff game in which Natrone Means and the SD Chargers shredded, bulldozed and pushed around the Dolphins like rag dolls. Despite Marino's brilliant play (leading the Dolphins to three TD's on their first three possessions), the Chargers ground game so dominated the Miami D that the Miami offense had ONE PLAY in the entire third quarter (Parmalee being tackled for a safety) and limited the weak Miami O to a total of 16 plays in the entire second half. Sorry bro, they were my team too - but that ain't a good team.
@@gregtrust5599 LOL!! Really? The best supporting cast he has was 10 years earlier. I will take Clayton, Duper, Nat Moore and Tony Nathan over Fryar, Ingram and Parmalee.
Steve P he also had Keith Jackson, OJ McDuffie, and Keith Byars, Dolphins could've won it all that year especially in 1993 if he didn't tear his Achilles. He had the Dolphins 4-1 and super bowl favorites beating the afc champs at Buffalo
@@brandonsavitski Mandich's real problem was doing the homer announcer schtick at a time when every other team was abandoning it because it was just too hokey.
I will never forgive Carla for this game. She begged me to switch days off with her. As soon as I was getting ready to go to work, I opened the door and there was my Neighbor, he said you are going work, I said yes why? He said he had an extra ticket, I said I will call out, but no, he said don't do that you made a commitment . I worked at JCP and had all the TVs at catalog on the game. I was watching the game and told the assistant Store Manager what happened about the Neighbor with the extra ticket . He said, Andrew if that ever happens again, you call out next time..
Damn, do I ever miss these days........
They sure do look great compared to now, and this was only the third best era in Fins history!
Parmalee and Byars were probably the two best RB’s Marino ever had. Byars was great catching passes out of the backfield. This was Shula’s next to last year and they just couldn’t beat the Bills. It was downright aggravating.
13:50...the things you can say on radio as opposed to television. Frickin' hilarious.
Priceless.

I grew up in miami and I really miss Jim Mandich and Bill Zimfers radio calls RIP JIM
He sure was. No reviews back then.
I miss rick weaver , Hank and Henry .
Being a Dolphins fan back then was the best. When Marino was on there was no one better!
Montana. Elway and Kelly were better
I used watch tv and put on radio for these games. Miss the "Mad dog" Mandich
A great win from that year. Parmalee started making his mark then, he had a big game.
Love it! This was my first home game. Sentimental value for sure.

Me too! I worked in the kitchen! LOL! Oh the memories of that place!
2:50 Mark Higgs' final carry as a Dolphin 😢He was already being phased out and that fumble was the final straw.
@Woodsrock15 I've been binge watching ur Gr8 DOLPHIN 🐬 videos and just wanted to say I appreciate ur videos brings back memories #PhinsUp🐬🐬🐬
Thanks very much!
I was a fan for a long time and I remember watching this game and I was on the edge of my seat Fan since 88 and our best times as fins fans are ahead.
Boy do i remember that game

Ahh! The NFL on NBC years. I miss them. 😞

Art she'll has to be the calmest coach ever,go over there bitching and he shows you the bench lol
The Fins need more Irving Friars
Hard to believe Hosstedeler won a Superbowl but, not Marino. Always nice to see a miserable Davis face.

Great example of the Raiders of the Lost 90's. Raiders had no business losing this game. Made BERNIE PARMALEE look like an All Pro against them.

@@DolFan316 Didn't ask.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Didn't ask you to ask. I don't let global tyranny stop me from saying what I want so I'm damn sure not letting you do it.
This was a pretty good Dolphins team, probably could have gone to the Super Bowl with a few fewer mistakes throughout the season
Yep. But eventually losing to the 49ers anyway.

There was an Aubrey Beavers sighting
Hairy beaver hmm my favorite
When the Dolphins had cool script!
Where Jeff Hostetler argued with Art Shell and got bench. Lol And it was the last time the raiders played in LA
Jason WAlker when does he get benched???
16:14, great moment for Keith Byars fam
Jim Mandich. Sandpaper for the ears...
I honestly couldn't stand him. "ALRIGHT MIAMI". "ALRIGHT".
Other people might like him but I thought his voice was annoying asf.
@@brandonsavitski Mandich's real problem was doing the homer announcer schtick at a time when every other team was abandoning it because it was just too hokey.
You can say whatever you want but he was a better fan than most of the fair weather fans here. #RIP_JM

Tim Brown was clearly down lol Still bothers me 25 years later.
Tim Brown was clearly down smh!!
16:32 Keith Byars' wife looks like a filled-out Whoopi Goldberg.
