In 1988 Marino was only sacked 6 times & as a team 7 times. Last 12 games played, 0 sacks. First 7 games of 1989, 0 sacks. Week 8 in '89 Bills finally got to him. Still an NFL record I think of 19 games. Miami had an incredible pass protection offensive line in the 80's. Average for run blocking, albeit they had no great backs. But I think they led the league for 7 or 8 times in the 80's for fewest sacks.
1989 was the worst season of Marino's great career. Defense sucked (as always back then), but no running game, and Marino feeling like he had to always force the ball into triple coverage, made him very int prone as well. I think they went 6-10 that yr.
'88 they went 6-10. In '89 they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs by losing the last game of the season. But you are right, beginning in 88 he had to force everything because they had absolutely no running game.
@@thomcd-rom looks good on TV, but it was awful to play on. It just like playing on concrete. The Vet, the Astrodome, and Riverfront were the worst to play on. Players, coaches, owners, and fans hated it. The current one is 3x safer than the old version but injuries still occur more on turf than on grass these days.
I loved Bengal football in the '80s but also the '70s, when a little-known QB, Ken Anderson, led the new team to a Division Title in 1973 and became the #1 QB in the NFL, 1974-76. He chose the Bengals' first Monday Night game to showcase pro-football's future with a blistering aerial attack to overwhelm O.J.'s. 200 yds rushing (11/17/75). The Bengals' passing offense of 3200+ yards was #1 in the NFL (no other team reached 3K). Four years later these anonymous Bengals would 1. sweep the fearsome Steelers, '90-'91, to halt their dynasty (with its 10 future Hall-of-Famers!); 2. beat the high-powered Chargers (with future HOF'ers Fouts, Joiner, Winslow); and 3. reach their first Super Shoot-Out.
The Bungles first Monday Night game was in 1970, and they lost against Pittsburgh. Ken Anderson was a decent QB, 1974-76 but FAR from the best in the NFL, winning NO playoff games during those years and compiling a 2-4 career post season record. He lead the Bungles to 10 comeback victories, , and he had 14 game-winning drives, definitely NOT HOF material! I'll go with a contemporary of his, also named Ken, who guided his team to 16 comeback victories and 23 game-winning drives over his HOF career, a career 7-6 post season record, 5 consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances and 1 Super Bowl title. Ken Anderson wasn't fit to carry Ken Stabler's jock!
Sounds like someone is not a Wyche fan. Why the hate? He's still a great coach. Not every coach keeps his cool all the time. Every coach has flaws. Show some class yourself ya douche.
Love the Rocky IV theme intertwined with the NFL on NBC theme. Miss the 80s. 😊
Alzado announcing! How awesome. 3 Mile Lyle. God rest his soul! His mother owned a flower shop in Brooklyn.
He is great on the commentary
He attempted a comeback the next yr
Iam from Miami and I remember this game very well 33years ago let's go dolphins 🐬.
I didn’t know Alzado did color work. He couldn’t have been a great commentator.
In 1989 the Bengals went 5-1 against their division and didn't make the playoffs finishing 8-8.
They also had 5 pro bowl players.
They probably should have won this game but Wyche got out coached by Shula.
IN 1988 THE BENGALS WENT TO THE SUPERBOWL BUT LOST
They had an insane point differential
17 games not being sacked wtf

Is it me or did miami seem to beat the teams that ended up in the super bowl every year?
Networks ruined football with the over production and the sideline reporters reporting garbage. Nfl has been ruined.

It was Greg's birthday and Greg's girlfriend come over and let a fart and the cake started melting
Boomer was really good for 7 years but poor Fred Roggin he had to carry this broadcast . Alzado was terrible 🤷🏿♂️
I love football in the 1980s and 1990s except for the domed stadiums and artificial turf.
The artificial turf is the best!

That turf really sucked, and it was just like playing on concrete.

Marino selling out on the bootleg.
Sam Wyche is rediculous. The way he is berating the officals. Crazy. Because he is totally wrong.
No adjustments by Wyche. He got out classed.
Sounds like someone is not a Wyche fan. Why the hate? He's still a great coach. Not every coach keeps his cool all the time. Every coach has flaws. Show some class yourself ya douche.
Super Bowl coach and he didn't get there by mistake
He rode the refs a bit in this game
