Excellent quarterback performances. Dan Dolphin 27 of 39 for 302 yards 3 TD 1 INT no sacks. Steve DeBerg 19 of 32 for 365 yards 4TD 1 INT no sacks. Also, this was one of those rare games where Marino was complemented with a good Dolphin running attack: Miami 31 carries for 144 yards. Jimmie Giles unstoppable touchdown monster for Tampa Bay. Tony Nathan unsung hero for Miami (as usual) with 8 pass receptions for 80 yards and 12 carries for 62 yards rushing and a TD. Dolphin defense blasted again, giving up exactly 476 total yards for the second straight game. Terrible. Final note: Best ever uniforms for the Miami Dolphins. Best ever uniforms for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Terrific contrast out there on the field between those great uniforms of each team, unlike the garbage and crap worn by "NFL" teams today.
Great game. The Bucs receivers had a good day- amazing to think that Steve Young couldn't get into that team, but then De Berg did pass for more yards than Marino in this game!
This assignment was an oddity in that (1) normally Tim Ryan worked alongside another former Chicago Bear in Johnny Morris (who was also the longtime sports anchor for CBS-owned WBBM in Chicago) and (2) for most of 1985 Tim Ryan and Johnny Morris called mostly Chicago Bears games (obviously not the case this week with the Bears hosting Green Bay on Monday Night Football; this pattern stayed mostly constant until Week 11, when CBS sent Pat Summerall and John Madden to cover the Bears' 44-0 demolition of the Cowboys)
I liked them as well. Tim Ryan was the unofficial voice of the Bears from the late 70s until about 1985 or 1986. As someone said, the Bears were on MNF this week.
Damn lol why they gotta block the Giants game you uploaded lol bastards lol thanks away for all the awesome games you post. The community appreciates anything and everything you put up. Thank you.
So you're calling a 38-24 game a blowout? The Bears came in over-confident, feeling they would get the W just by showing up, plus Jim McMahon didn't start because he was nursing an injury, he would appear late in the game throwing one interception, one of 4 uncharacteristic turnovers the Bears had that night, Steve DeBerg's 4 Touchdown passes for the Bucs exposed glaring weaknesses in Miami's secondary and the Bucs were 0-6 at the time and the Dolphins defense played like the game was over at halftime.
Those 80's Bucs teams actually had some talent. It obviously wasn't Super Bowl contender talent but they definitely weren't as bad as their record indicated.
@@davidcobb2693 - Miami moved the ball on Chicago with ease and was up 31-10 at half. Miami only needed 30 minutes (maybe even only 20) to put away the great 85 Bears. Yes it was a blowout.
TV contract rights back in those days gave the game to CBS when an NFC team played on the road vs an AFC team. If this game would’ve been played in Tampa then NBC would’ve have televised it.
If the Pro Football Hall of Fame had more relaxed standards for Quarterbacks to get in (unlike how strict they have been), you'd see Joe Theisman, Jim Plunkett and even Steve Deberg in Canton.
I agree with you on Jim Plunkett because he is the only Pro Football Hall of Fame eligible QB with 2 or more Super Bowl victories on their resume that is not in Canton, Theismann's career 77.4 Quarterback Rating and one ring keep him out and DeBerg's 1-3 record in playoff games should still keep him out.
@@nicktucker3437 No sh!t Sherlock, but THE FACT remains his CAREER record is an abysmal ( that means very bad ) 53-86-1, 1-3 in playoff games. Jim Plunkett's career record was 72-72, BUT his playoff numbers are Hall Of Fame worthy, 8-2 and he is still the ONLY Hall Of Fame eligible Quarterback who has 2 Super Bowl WINS on his career resume that's not in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame! DeBerg had one of his his best statistical years in 1979, leading the NFL in pass attempts and pass completions yet the 49ers went 2-14. His playoff record SHOULD be poo-pooed, he played in the NFL for 16 consecutive seasons, 1978-93, and he only played in 4 playoff games, he was a journeyman LOSER!
I never understood why: if the punting team's punt is blocked by the "receiving team" and is blocked/batted forward of the line of scrimmage by the "receiving team", why the punting team cannot "recover" the punt and either "advance" with the football for a touchdown, or advance with the football for a first down?
Don Mega - You can’t debate the rule book. Why would the rules committee reward a punting team like how you’re hypothetically implying by having it’s punt blocked? A team kicking a FG that gets it blocked can’t advance it either - unless the defense touches it first.
@@SS-th9wz1. You just understood my point exactly! If the defense (which is the "receiving team") touches the ball first by "blocking the punt" [making the ball "live for recovery" for either team], the punting team should be able to advance the ball for a first down off of a fourth down punting situation. Similar to a fake punt/run option or fake punt/pass option. 2. So are you referring to the same rule book that afterwards reversed countless rules like the Tom Brady fumble/forward pass that cost the Raiders that game and a possible Superbowl trip? 3. Before you fly off and comment on a question that was not directed towards you, would it be "civilized" and "courteous" to at least "like" the comment you are replying to first?
Don Mega - It’s a really simple rule. Miami blocks Tampa’s punt. The ball goes past the line of scrimmage and Tampa can only advance it if Miami touches first. Same as FG. Now, if the ball is behind the line of scrimmage after FG or punt is blocked....Tampa can advance it and doesn’t need Miami to touch it first. The key is where the ball lands after being blocked in relation to the line of scrimmage. Guessing you never played organized football growing up 😁.
Those bigger pads looked so stupid-just like those toy-like helmets from the 1970s. Do you think those looked as good for men or how men are SUPPOSED to look?! Welcome to the future where they have made and continue to make better equipment.

a trick: watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Hugh Zev Yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself :)
@Hugh Zev Definitely, been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D
Another beautiful day I spent in the Orange Bowl with my folks❤, great memories 😊
Good game. Thanks for leaving the intro in too.

@@mediochreeuchre8391Between 1977 and 1986, Tim Ryan and Johnny Morris did 56 Bears games for CBS.
Leaving Marino 43 seconds. Smart move

Forgotten classic.
Damn, how did the 12-4 Dolphins who blew out the 85 Bears need a last second field goal just to squeak by the 2-14 Bucs at home?

Weird to see Miami on CBS, I always associate the Dolphins of the 80s with Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen, maybe Charlie Jones and Bob Criqui.

I was there. Great game
It was on all cbs stations in Florida, Sw Georgia!
Everyone who had Jimmie Giles on their fantasy team was happy.

Could you find more Buccaneers games from 1985 ???????
2-14. Why??
Crazy watching this today and knowing the Buccaneers now have as many Super Bowl titles as the Dolphins.
If you proposed that 36 years ago, no one would have taken that bet. With Marino in the fold. it looked like MIA could win another.
Turned out Steve Young became a better quarterback than Steve DeBerg. lol
You don't say?
@@rbeforme As a matter of fact I do say.
Why won't the Bucs do the world a favor and go back to the creamsicle unis full time?
Future Dolphin Steve DeBerg playing for the Buccaneers.

I wish they'd go back to the bigger (and heavier) shoulder pads. Nowadays they wear these teensy girl pads. Back then they looked like men
Those bigger pads looked so stupid-just like those toy-like helmets from the 1970s. Do you think those looked as good for men or how men are SUPPOSED to look?!
Welcome to the future where they have made and continue to make better equipment.
I know it's the video/audio from the time this was made... But man that ringing in the background is really annoying. Lol
