40 years ago, wow, and I still remember watching this game! Very nice touch too with keeping the commercials. Many fans might not like that, but it brought me back to happier times, thank you, and instant follow!!
One of the most complete performances of Miami's 1984 season, very impressive.The defense at this point were still playing well, people often forget that it was only on the latter part of the season that they faltered.
Marino set all those records in ‘84 despite being in 22 personnel at least 60% of the time. That is just fucking ridiculous. In my mind he was the best QB to ever play the game. Period.
Love watching these classics again. My father would let me stay up to watch the Monday night game in the 70s. Was a real treat even though I always fell asleep with him on the couch. Lol. I was a 9th grader during this one but I’m sure me and him watched it. I was crazy about Marino. Had a foot ball with his signature. (Came that way)
Amazing 8:59 thru 10:11. Marino at his best. All five of the Dolphin offensive linemen are completely unaware that Steeler linebackers David Little and Bryan Hinkle have already set up camp deep in the Dolphin backfield. Marino is on his own. All on his own. Marino's lightning quick thought process, reflex action, and rapid fire decision making are all on full display. Most quarterbacks would be violently sacked and possibly seriously injured. The remainder might just manage to get off a wild incompletion before being hurled to the ground. Marino somehow not only avoids being sacked, but shakes loose and keeps his balance as he scrambles away, immediately locates Tony Nathan upfield with Robin Cole in close pursuit, whips a completed pass right into Nathan with his quick release ---the ball just clearing the outstretched hands of the diving Robin Cole, and to top it off ---the completed pass goes for a first down. This is only a second year quarterback doing all this, in just his 16th NFL start and back in the "primitive" times of NFL quarterback development. Ridiculous!!!
If the Steelers would have drafted Marino with there defense he would have won 4 or 5 super bowl rings then there wouldn't be any doubt Marino is the greatest quarterback of all time.
The 84 Steelers were like Jekyll and Hyde.They played terrible in this game I remember watching it.But the next week went on road and beat the eventual Super Bowl champion 49ers 20-17 handing them their only loss of season.Crazy.-Pittsburgh's #1 Dolphins fan
Right! All the Steelers needed during those year's was a good QB & in Marino, they could have had the best! BTW, add Al Davis' Raiders to the SHOULD HAVE list! Always could never understand why Davis passed on Marino, never been a player more "Al Davis'" than Dan 🤷🏻♂️
One of the rare good performances by the Dolphin defense in 1984. They were out on the field for 73 plays while the Steeler defense was out on the field for only 59 plays. Nevertheless the Dolphin defense allowed only 43% pass completion and just barely 3.0 yards per rush in this game. Much, much better than the disastrous and NFL worst 4.7 yards per rush the Dolphin defense would allow over their 1984 NFL season as a whole.
The 1984 Dolphins were all Marino. Mediocre defense, no running game, even the kicker had a bad year. Yet, they got to the Super Bowl. People talk about Marino not winning championships, but he didn't have much help. Marino in 1984 was the best I've ever seen a QB play. Yes, he did not play well in the SB, but the 49ers were a far better team.
Steelers 80 to 85 really struggled with great qbs...Fouts and the Chargers upset a very good Steelers team in the 82 playoffs at three rivers...and Marino blew them up in the 84 title game
Factoids: 1) These two teams met later in the Orange Bowl for the AFC championship. 2) Pittsburgh was the only team to defeat SF in 1984. 3) Miami lost to all three California teams they played: SD, LARaiders, and SF in SB19.
This was Dan Marino's first game against his hometown team, who notably decided not to draft him to succeed Terry Bradshaw. Steelers fans learned first hand just what they were missing that day.
@wolfen244 too biased...Pittsburgh was the better team that day...one bad call doesn't change that Steelers ran for about 175 yards that day...anytime you run that well you deserve to win.
to think, the Steelers were in a position to draft Marino as a probable heir apparent to Terry Bradshaw. instead, Chuck Noll went for defense with Gabe Rivera. regrettably, Rivera was left paralyzed following a car accident and Bradshaw was sidelined with an elbow injury. what could have been....
I watched all the commercials, very nostalgic. especially the computer commercials, they had computers and the internet in 1984, Walter Payton broke Jim Brown record in this week NFL game.
@@blackfinjrblackfinjr3555 Since 1979, the internet has been accessible via telephone lines, allowing people to perform tasks such as paying bills and booking flights. To learn more, you can search for information about it on UA-cam. The early internet was based on HTML and allowed regular people to perform tasks such as sending emails, paying credit card bills, and ordering products, much like today. People would connect their telephones to the cable box and access the internet through their TVs.
After six weeks of the 1984 NFL season (including this game), Marino had been sacked a grand total of … one time. Once. Through six full games. What?? Preposterous!!! Consider the 1986 Philadelphia Eagles. For the season, their quarterbacks were sacked a staggering 104 times: 72 sacks on Randall Cunningham, 22 sacks on Ron Jaworski, 9 sacks on Matt Cavanaugh, 1 sack on Keith Byars (normally a running back).
Marino had a great line, but really it was Marino. We all know about his quick release, but what I always noticed is he had this incredible knack to just take a step or two and evade defenders. It was like a great Matador!! He was incredible at it.
@@jrgilbert yeah Howie long said when you got in close on Marino he would side step and swat your arm away. It sucks you have all these quarterbacks like trent differ and brad Johnson who combined didn't have a quarter of the talent Marino had yet they win a superbowl and everyone says well there better than Marino they won a ring he didn't. Even though that is a completely absurd statement.
@Brian Siler Dwaine Board twice, Gary Johnson, Manu Tuiasosopo. By the late 3rd quarter, Marino had terror in his eyes and was bleeding onto his jersey. When they weren't sacking him, the 49ers were constantly pounding and pummeling Marino. They even literally knocked him flying head over heels at least once.
Over the next three weeks Miami will have the most dominant RUNNING attack in the entire NFL by far, averaging an astonishing 212 yards rushing per game as they run their record to 9-0-0. None of the other 27 NFL teams will come close to this on the ground (NONE of them?? ...are you kidding me??) for that three week period, and in the mean time Marino will not skip a beat as the Dolphins crank out 300 yard passing games and blast away with touchdowns coming from all over the place. Quite surprising to see this particular Miami team start running like that. But it won't last, unfortunately.
And less than a year before that Marino was the QB at the University of Pittsburgh....and Woodley?...leading the Dolphins into Super Bowl XVIII...crazy
56:22 nice how Marino kept his arm down low with the ball almost hidden behind him, after the fake handoff and then threw the td to Hardy . that tactic draws the linebackers and defensive backs in to what they think is a rb rushing , Hardy all alone in the end zone for td.
I love that you’re reposting games…seriously thank you. How do you do it without UA-cam killing the channel? I have 100s I want to repost but I’m afraid of the copyright violations
It is a hit and miss sometimes on posting on UA-cam. Some things don’t get blocked at all and others get a few plays or the whole game blocked. I have also started posting at Archive.org and have not had anything blocked there.
Ironic, that it would be Pittsburgh that gave the Niners their only loss that season a week after being crushed by the Dolphins. Later that season, the Steelers would be crushed again by Miami in the AFC Championship Game before the fins got crushed by San Francisco in the Super Bowl.
I remember watching this game....I was a huge JETS fan back then and couldn’t stand the Dolphins....wanted David Woodley to tear the hell out of Miami’s defense and stick it to Shula and Marino...but it just wasn’t meant to be...ironically the Steelers and Fins would meet up again in the AFC Championship game that season...only it was now Mark Malone leading the offense...and as for David Woodley?....the end of his career...sad
Steelers regret not take Marino in 1983 he was there for them to take rip chuck noll he would been Bradshaw replacement after he retire I always wonder how the Steelers would've been with Marino so many years had passed until we got big ben
Yeah l loved the dolphins an Marino.but that's all they had with marino super clayton an Moore. If the Steelers would have taken marino with that defense the Steelers and Marino would have won multiple superbowls we wouldn't be having this conversation that Marino ant the greatest quarterback ever cause that's there only argument concerning Marino. Because Marino was the most gifted quarterback ever had a cannon for an arm could fit the ball into tight places better than everyone got rid of the ball faster than anyone.
+@@timjones8166 A lotta stupid teams gave up on Marino before Shula took him. Instead Steelers pinned their hopes on Stoudt and Brister. How Woodley ever made it to the 82 Superbowl has to be the NFL mystery of all time. 4 completions against Redskins. Had Shula started Strock he would have won a 3rd Superbowl.
@@timjones8166 The Steelers, Raiders, Browns, and maybe the Bengals were the only teams in the 80s AFC with the physicality to stand up to the NFCs elite in SuperBowl games. The Steelers just didn't have a QB.
I totally forgot the dolphins either released or traded Woodley, when I watched this game I doubt I realized it was Woodley, who akmost was a Super Bowl champ for the dolphins just 2 years earlier. Who would have guessed Malone, magnum pi look alike, would meet in 84 AFC Championship game.
Imagine what Marino could have achieved had he been drafted by the Steelers in 1983 and played on a team with a tough defense and solid rushing attack while still having great receivers in John Stallworth and Louis Lipps and a great o-line anchored by Mike Webster?
NBC remember when they Mattered, How do U from NFL Letterman Cheers Seinfeld to Socialist Msnbc & Rachel Maddow.?? LMAO 😂 talk about going Down Hill.!!

Funny at the end of the game we get the footage of Jets at Chiefs and even though game is in Arrowhead the walls behind the Jets are green and probably made them feel at home. No wonder the Jets probably won LOL
I think Charlie Jones normally would be working this game. I believe Greise was his partner this year. I'd like to know who the #1 team was calling this weekend?
Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen were in L A. calling the Raiders' home game against the Seahawks. No idea of Charlie Jones' whereabouts, but Griese did work a few more games with Jay Randolph (I know for certain they called the Dolphins game at St. Louis); which also was carried by the same station (WXII)
watching these replays is giving me some doses of nostalgia .. especially with the familiar announcers

One of the great draft blunders of all-time. Noll drafts Marino and he owns a few more super bowl rings.

Why they never built a defense is beyond any logic
Back when defenses could actually play defense 😂
At the time, this was the heaviest home defeat for the Steelers since they moved to Three Rivers Stadium in 1970.
I was at this game....Fins in control all day.
Lucky!!!!
Six games into the season DAN THE MAN had only been sacked ONCE. Despite passing almost every play. WOW.
My #1 favorite quarterback of all time #13 Dan Marino
Steelers 80 to 85 really struggled with great qbs...Fouts and the Chargers upset a very good Steelers team in the 82 playoffs at three rivers...and Marino blew them up in the 84 title game
Factoids:
1) These two teams met later in the Orange Bowl for the AFC championship.
2) Pittsburgh was the only team to defeat SF in 1984.
3) Miami lost to all three California teams they played: SD, LARaiders, and SF in SB19.
@George Washington Wow! Thanks for that factoid George. Had I known I would have included it. That 84 Steelers team was pretty damn good.
This was Dan Marino's first game against his hometown team, who notably decided not to draft him to succeed Terry Bradshaw.
Steelers fans learned first hand just what they were missing that day.
Miami 6-0-0 and San Francisco 6-0-0 at the end of this week, the only two undefeated teams left at this point in the 1984 NFL season.
Pitt beat 49ers the very next week
@wolfen244 bs...Pittsburgh won 20 17...don't give me the refs bs
@wolfen244 too biased...Pittsburgh was the better team that day...one bad call doesn't change that
Steelers ran for about 175 yards that day...anytime you run that well you deserve to win.
@wolfen244 u used the high school refs excuse boy...let the adults talk football...49ers had a pretty easy schedule that yr
@wolfen244 let men talk football son..blaming the refs in a game Pittsburgh ran for almost 200 yards. You never played did you?

Yeah the internet was around in 1984. Though the web was not a thing yet.
Griese 2 Superbowl rings. Marino-0. What nice uniforms Dolphins and Steelers had throughout 70,s and 80,s.
Love ❤️ my Miami Dolphins 🐬
Noll was stubborn, didnt realize he needed a qb, otherwise he wins 2 or 3 Super bowls
2 or 3 more u mean??
If things were done right, Dan Marino would have been the Steelers quarterback.
Just think what could have been.
Every team except Washington could say the exact same thing. Hindsight is 20/20

Greatest passing season in history: in the modern game it would be like 6,000 yards and 70+ TDs relative to existing single season records.
