I nominate we add the Holland Hell Mary pick 6 into franchise folklore for the ages. The other is the "Miami Massacre" against Denver. We're witnessing history, dolfans! Two (so far) in one season! God I love this team!

Other notable iconic moments:

• The 2022 come from behind victory against Ravens
• Miami Miracle
• Fake Spike
• The 1993 Thanksgiving wild victory over the Cowboys thanks to Leon Lett
• The 1985 victory over Chicago Bears
• The Perfect Season

What other iconic moments am I missing?

Miami, KC, SF, and Philly faced weak opponents this week which became more competitive than expected. KC looked anemic, SF and Philly fell, and Miami almost collapsed in the first quarter. Defeating winless Carolina is not a crucible, but overcoming a 14 point deficit with a flat-footed defense is what an elite team is supposed to do. While KC, SF, and Philly kept their games close, Miami overcame and blew Carolina out of the water. Super proud of our boys today! They're learning what it takes to be a champion. Fins Up!!!

No matter if we win or lose, the Jetes must always lose. And today Detroit became my hero pushing the Jetes (7-7) to the edge of missing out post season. I take great pleasure seeing their pride and hopes burst. Big thanks to Man Campbell and his tenacious team full of chutzpah. Detroit has become one of the most intriguing team on my list. Now hoping LV can deliver on another Pats loss. FTJ, FTP, FTB

We're all worried about the Oline. Execution and lack of penalties will be key to the game. Beyond that, here's what I'm looking for:

• We have 2 games (Houston and Cleveland) to see how Chubb has impacted this defense. Could we see a gradual return of the '21 defense with heavy pressure upfront and blitz calls to rattle Jimmy G?
• McDaniel has 2 advantages over Shanny: he knows SF defense and can prep Tua to read their defense better. With Hill and Waddle, Shanny has not face this speed before.
• How will McDaniel scheme to max protect Tua? Win or lose, I'm praying for Tua to end the game uninjured.
• Jaylen (Berzerker) Philip is a relentless rusher on speedball. Look forward to seeing a t

Mr. Ross: The Great Czonka once recalled discovering the opponent's game plan in a locker room in the early 70s. He gave the documents to an assistant coach - assuming it would be passed on to Shula to be analyzed. The Dolphins lost that game (can't remember to whom). Afterwards, Czonka asked the assistant coach about the game plan. The coach said Shula ordered the documents to be thrown away. "If we can't beat them by the rules, then we don't deserve to win," was what Shula was quoted as saying.

This is an example of leadership, Mr. Ross.

I've always respected you and I really liked Grier and Flo. Hell I defended both of them for weeks. But this? Nope, I'm done with all three of you.

I think the announcer said it best: we're seeing Tua grow before our eyes from that INT to his TDs. Perhaps that INT was what he needed to break out. No doubt, he should've ran with the ball instead of throwing it for an end zone INT. Perhaps he's been playing too safely in previous games - fearing mistakes and fearing he would get benched again. Perhaps he was overtaught to be a game manager and traditional dropback QB. But after that INT, we saw on the sideline his game face on - one which I haven't seen until today. And things started to click for him in the second half. I have no proof but he looked looser, comfortable, eager, commanding, and determined - ready to run the ball down the f

I’m glad the players didn’t listen to Coach Flo this one time. This team has a lot of heart - no matter how much injuries decimated them. Even down by 20pts, they rallied after X's incredible end zone INT. They made Mahomes look human and gave the Chiefs quite a scare in 4th quarter.

I expected a loss, but I didn’t expect to come out being more proud of this team. I'm even more optimistic now than before the game. It’s not just that this team kept the game competitive for 3 quarters with a world champ, but they did it with an injury-riddled roster. That is, injuries on top of a struggling offensive unit to start! That’s impressive. And that’s a statement to the entire league: the Dolphins a

Special team has come up big in the past 3 games. And in the last 2 games against Cards and Chargers, it was down to one score differentiation. If ST hadn’t come up big on those 2 games, we could’ve lost. And then the whole narrative could’ve switched to Tua not being ready.

And like many here, I miss Darren Rizzi, but holy cow ST coordinator Danny Crossman is the unheralded coach here! So big shout out to him.

Flo may be the only successful coach coming from Belichick’s coaching tree. He may be the only one who truly understood the formula for turning a lost franchise into a long lasting powerhouse contender (aka the Patriots Way). Here are some few things I think he did right.

1. It takes no talent: this was his philosophy last year with a nearly empty roster. Basically, it requires no talent to do the fundamentals correctly. And it’s the little things, if done right, that can turn the game around. Last year we were the sixth least penalized team. And this year - fourth. This is reminiscent of Shula who abhors penalties. Both Flo and Shula understood mastering fundamentals is what separates

Hypothetical: let’s say Fitzy gets injured midway through the season. And he’s out for the remainder. Would you then start Tua or Rosen? Tua would certainly boost ticket sales and get fans jacked up.

Me? Playoff is doubtful so I would start Rosen. We really need to see his progress and see if he’s a legit #2 behind Tua. If he does well, he could be trade bait. Besides, the OL need time to get in sync, so I’d rather throw Rosen to the wolves. Sorry Rosen, nothing personal. I like you.

Congratulations Atlanta! You're team is phenomenal and downright scary! I haven't watched you guys all season until the post. Holy cow, what a dynamic fun team to watch. Matty Ice definitely deserves MVP.

We Dolphins fans are all rooting for you in the SB. Please beat the crap out of the Patsies! It would please us so much.

Good luck. Go Falcons!
