Man I was 8 getting into football and to me personally the mid 1980's (1983-1985) NFL is one of my favorite eras due to it being impressionable at that age.
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig Same with me as well. I was also 8. One of my favorite games was also the first game I watched beginning to end and that was Super bowl 18. Despite growing up in Northern California, and watching a lot of televised Raiders games back then, I ended up becoming diehard Steelers fan. The mid 80s was also my favorite era as well. The NBC intros, Enberg and Olsen, what an era!
Of course!!! Goodell ruined our game. Oh, BTW, Marino set records in THIS era. You know, when the commissioner didn't handcuff the defense. Offenses EARNED their point and TDs. Brady sets absolutely NO records with the rules Marino, Elway, Cunningham, Montana, and Moon played under.
The final score of this game has happened 4 times in NFL history, with the Raiders being involved in three of them. They beat Miami and Pittsburgh, and lost to Seatlle by this exact score. The other one was the Broncos and Ravens...
That is crazy information thank you. Had no idea. As a avid miami fan I remember watching this game. In the playoffs I always dreaded having to play the raiders, Because we could never beat them. Luckily we didn't have to play them in the 80's somehow.
Young Marcus was just a joy to watch. The guy could do everything on a football field. Remains underrated because of how Al Davis dogged him the last few years he was a Raider
Young Marcus Allen indeed. I loved watching him, especially those first several years of his NFL career. Hey, what if uh Dan Marino had been selected by the Raiders in the 1983 NFL draft and played for the Raiders instead of the Dolphins in the 1980s? This question is actually being asked by more people than I realized at first. Just wondering what your own thoughts were on the matter. The Raiders seemed to be the one (and only) AFC team in the 1980s that could match up favorably with the monster superteams from the NFC ('83 Redskins, '84 49ers, '85 Bears, '86 Giants). I know Marino had a lot of unfortunate bad press coming out of college and this caused a lot of teams to shy away. But in hindsight I am kinda shocked that the Raiders did not immediately grab him with the 26th pick in the first round 1983 draft when they saw he was still available. If nothing else they could have looked at it like drafting some kind of quarterback "insurance" for Marc Wilson and the rapidly aging Jim Plunkett. I guess though that Al Davis, at the time, must have been fanatically determined that Marc Wilson would quickly develop into a truly great NFL quarterback no matter what . . . . . . . . and that he, Al Davis, could make this happen through sheer force of will alone if necessary. I don't know. Strange. Anyway, let me know what you think about Dan Marino as the quarterback of the Raiders of a young Marcus Allen and that great defense -----and what a Raider team like that ends up accomplishing. Sorry, man. My comments are waaaay too long. Gotta work on that.

What memories. I was at this game as a teenager. We went with the group from the "Hitching Post" in Davie. We had upper deck endzone seats. On a bench, no instant replay...but the best. We had homemade "Raider Hater" tshirts on. The priest that did the pregame prayer referred to the Raiders as "evil". I will never forget this game.
i had to work the day of this game.my friend recorded it,but it was beta.not vcr. i did listen to the game on radio,but was interupted by the job often. it was almost two weeks after the game that i saw it full. the wait was worth it. one of the classic Raider games.
In the 40 some years i been watching football i still never seen an offense quite like the 84 Fins.They were a juggernaut that year till the Super Bowl 😔
This was the first truly incredible offense. A case could be made for the previous year for the 83 Redskins, who.scored more points, but the Dolphins set about every record you could outside of rushing. The difference between what the 84 Dolphins did and the other great offensive teams was in the manner they shattered the record book. It wasn't like the just barely beat the record and added a few more yards. They demolished the record books, and some of the records lasted for decades. There may have been more balanced offenses since this team but The thing that younger people who look back at this team miss, Is how it took over and captured America's attention. Everyone was watching miami dolphin games back then. Nothing like this had ever been seen. The fact that so many records stood up for so long is just a testament to how great this team was offensively. It's a shame They had to go against one of the all time great teams that year. That's super bowl wasn't as big of a blow out as people think it was. Miami was intercepted in the endzone or right by the endzone 2 times. It was a really frustrating game for a Miami fan. If you ask a miami dolphin fan, what is their favorite year, and the vast majority will say 84, and not 72. This year was just a joy to be a Dolphins fan.
In the history of "what ifs"...what if the Raiders had drafted Marino??? This was a great match-up of the defending SB champ Raiders vs the SB bound Dolphins. Ridiculously great match-ups all over the field too. Really a great game to watch. A true classic.
What if Pete Rozelle didn't nix the deal that would have given the Raiders the Colts 1st rd. pick, which they would have taken Elway. That one ridiculous decision by Rozelle to not approve that deal, was the beginning of the demise of the Raiders as a dynasty....... Al shoulda clubbed him with trophy when Pete handed it to him in 84
@@danzemacabre8899 Agreed, though personally I would have preferred Marino over Elway. With the team, especially the defense, that the Raiders had I think at least 2-3 Super Bowls would have been won. My opinion anyways.
@@TheSmarq17 Elway with the Raiders defense and running game would have been unstoppable. They would have owned the 80's. Rozelle knew that and pulled every illegal trick he could to prevent it.
This was the famous game where during halftime a Raider player, I wish I recalled his name, was getting an enema or hydration via his rectum and had to take an emergency dump where he ordered the kicker to get off the toilet and he got on to take an explosive crap. This incident was recreated with a character who was a player for a fictional team in Oliver Stone's film Any Given Sunday.
Me and my dad went to this game and it was a fun game even though we Lost I think Marino threw 5 picks in that game threw for almost 500 yard's I remembered that Mike Haynes pick for the touchdown and I knew we'd be in for a fight plus that Raider team was huge and very good team good memories
I was at this game. The crowd was electic. We stopped more plays then the Dolphins Did! I personally haven't seen another game where the crowd was this big as a force. Miami had too many mistakes to take advantage of the home field. 13 took away 7 and gave them 7 and his later pick gave them the short field for 7. A Shula team neve got penalized like this. Drops, penalties field mismanagement... The dam Raiders simply had our number for the better part of around 20 years. They found every way to win games against us. I'm still seeing that pass or whatever it was from the snake get caught in the endzone to end our SB run
Imagine what Miami could have truly achieved with Marino, if they had Marcus Allen running for them and complementing the passing game. Marino was under pressure to throw for 400 yards per game to win. Shula should have followed Bill Walsh's philosophy in balancing a great passing and running game. Great game to watch with these legends. Sadly today's players aren't nowhere near these legends.
It was kind of etched in stone when you think about it. The guy really had showed a lot of progress late in 83' died in a car accident, David Overstreet. Guy had jaguar moves and speed. Took him a while to stop his fumbling. Never had a go to running game to ice a game or change its complexion until after the year 13 retired.
They definitely needed a running game. Marino carried the team on his arm for his whole career aside from having Clayton and Duper, stars in they’re own right.
The Raiders were loaded but at QB. It was like the Bears. If they had a superior QB they could have gone to the super bowl from 82 to 85 and 85 through 88 for da bears
This game is the reason why that my 49ers smashed the Dolphins at Stanford Stadium in Super Bowl XIX in Palo Alto because of their defense couldn't stop Joe Montana and the Dolphins linebackers got smoked by Roger Craig.
In the first round of the 1983 NFL draft, the Raiders had the 26th pick. This was just before Miami with the 27th pick. Dan Marino was still available. What if the Raiders had grabbed Marino instead of the Dolphins?
No kiddin' true story. Philadelphia Eagles are on the clock '83 NFL Draft. Why take future Hall of Famers Jim Kelly or Dan Marino when Michael Haddix is available. Seriously, I couldn't make that up.
The Raiders beat the Dolphins with freakin Marc Wilson as their QB, not Jim Plunkett. The Raiders except for their 2 Super Bowl seasons, were always up and down in the 1980s.
What if Dan Marino, Mark Duper and Mark Clayton would have been on the 82 Dolphins team when Miami played Washington in SuperBowl 17. With that great killer bee defense, Miami would have smoked the Redskins. Unfortunately Marino, Duper and Clayton came 1 year too late.
1:56:12 Dwight Stephenson wrecking ball. Down goes Kinlaw. Down goes Millen. Down goes McElroy too? Wow. 2:14:24 How do you do, Mr. Don Strock? Tip your cap if you can hear Enberg and Olsen. Ha! Yeah, right! 2:25:22 Silver and black defending Super Bowl champions gutting it out as the visiting team in typical brutal Orange Bowl playing conditions and under an all out assault by Dan Marino. 2:26:03 Paul Lankford 44 Miami tenacity and effort, as Dick Enberg will mention. Marcus does still gain 7 yards on the play, however.
Dwight Stephenson might have been the best centre to have ever played the game. (Raider fan here, so apologies to the great Jim Otto).Certainly the greatest in the 80's. Such a shame his career was cut short by injury.
11:12 Dan Johnson this is unacceptable. It's first and goal. The Raiders are all bunched up close, expecting the run. Safety Mike Davis is beaten. You are wide open. Marino has the ball on target. Look the ball into your outstretched hands. This is an easy touchdown pass and an easy quick 7-0 Miami lead. The Miami drive is over, right here right now. There is no third and goal play coming up for Mike Haynes to make his spectacular 97 yard interception TD return. Your flub here, Dan Johnson, is catastrophic. Catastrophic. 43:30 Now look here Dan Johnson. I have had it with you. It's first and goal another time, a little later in the game. You did it again!!! Ergh !!! At least the Dolphins were still able to salvage a TD, this time......
I watched this entire game and was thinking the same thing! Those two plays, But especially the first one we're just unacceptable. It's little plays that can lead to losses, and his first drop changed the whole game
Wilson was another one of Al's wet dreams which never happened. Al was a terrible evaluator of talent and 20 years behind the times. I'm a Raider fan since 1975 but Al was a complete embarrassment especially in the last 10 years of his life when he would do pressers with red watery, spitting all over the microphone...
12:52 the stadium announcer says "would the driver of a white blah blah blah, please attend to your car, your engine's running." He announces it again at 13:30
1:15:31 Bogus. Bogus. Bogus. BOGUS. What pass interference? This was excellent and successful pass defense by the Raiders. The Miami drive is over right here and they are forced to punt from their own 18. It's the third straight three and out forced on the Dolphins by the Raider defense. The rest of the Dolphin drive after this bad call is bogus. Bogus yards, all of it. In the end, the Raiders ultimately get poetic justice when they make a goal line stand and deny the Dolphins even a single point right as the first half ends. Wow. At this point in the game the Raider defense is really shutting down Dan Marino and the Miami offense unlike anyone else has all season to this point. The Dolphin offense is needing help from the officials to bail them out. This pass interference call, I tell you . . . . . . Hey, wait a minute! What have we got here? Oh, no...… Referee Ben Dreith. Of all people... Look here Ben Dreith, you seem to have forgotten something. Remember, whenever you, Ben Dreith, personally make a big controversial call involving the Raiders - - - - - you, Ben Dreith, are supposed to rule in FAVOR of the Raiders, not AGAINST them. Understand, Ben Dreith? Or have you forgotten a certain 1976 AFC divisional round playoff game, Ben? Let's get with it here now Ben.
34:12 Do not do that, Malcolm Barnwell! You have likely cost your team 3 points! 42:31 No, Marc Wilson! No! No! No! No! No! Noooooo….! You are practically handing the Dolphins 7 points and all but negating the effect of the incredible coast to coast interception TD return by Mike Haynes earlier.
It was funny because Miami could not beat the Raiders, The Raiders couldn't beat Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh could not beat Miami. I'm sure there's an outlier game, so no need to point that out, but in general, It seemed like this was the case. Weird habit was like this for over ten years.. I never feared playing pittsburgh as a miami fan, But the raiders that was another story.

Silver and Black Spoons? 😏😏😏
12:52 the stadium announcer says "would the driver of a white blah blah blah, please attend to your car, your engine's running." He announces it again at 13:30
If Marino would have been a Raider, with all the talent that team had..... It could have been too, but, not to be.
1:15:31 Bogus. Bogus. Bogus. BOGUS. What pass interference? This was excellent and successful pass defense by the Raiders. The Miami drive is over right here and they are forced to punt from their own 18. It's the third straight three and out forced on the Dolphins by the Raider defense. The rest of the Dolphin drive after this bad call is bogus. Bogus yards, all of it. In the end, the Raiders ultimately get poetic justice when they make a goal line stand and deny the Dolphins even a single point right as the first half ends. Wow. At this point in the game the Raider defense is really shutting down Dan Marino and the Miami offense unlike anyone else has all season to this point. The Dolphin offense is needing help from the officials to bail them out. This pass interference call, I tell you . . . . . . Hey, wait a minute! What have we got here? Oh, no...… Referee Ben Dreith. Of all people... Look here Ben Dreith, you seem to have forgotten something. Remember, whenever you, Ben Dreith, personally make a big controversial call involving the Raiders - - - - - you, Ben Dreith, are supposed to rule in FAVOR of the Raiders, not AGAINST them. Understand, Ben Dreith? Or have you forgotten a certain 1976 AFC divisional round playoff game, Ben? Let's get with it here now Ben.
Get Mike Glennon vibes from Marc Wilson
Marino chasing records 49ers chasing and winning superbowls 😅
I’m surprised Shula didn’t cry to the refs that his payoffs mean he should have won
2:39:00 Mark Duper TD
pick 6 by Haynes was a horrible back-peddling panic throw, ...
just sayin....
Getting stonewalled at the goal line just before half looked bad for the Dolphins.
34:12 Do not do that, Malcolm Barnwell! You have likely cost your team 3 points! 42:31 No, Marc Wilson! No! No! No! No! No! Noooooo….! You are practically handing the Dolphins 7 points and all but negating the effect of the incredible coast to coast interception TD return by Mike Haynes earlier.
Shula doesn't coach shootouts well.
Care to elaborate?
@@Yeomannn Shula is a traditional, run oriented, defensive coach. Boring to watch. He never won a Superbowl with Marino.
It was funny because Miami could not beat the Raiders, The Raiders couldn't beat Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh could not beat Miami. I'm sure there's an outlier game, so no need to point that out, but in general, It seemed like this was the case. Weird habit was like this for over ten years.. I never feared playing pittsburgh as a miami fan, But the raiders that was another story.
Wilson was garbage. The Raiders might of had another super bowl run in them if not for him.
With that team, my opinion, at least 2-3 runs at the rings. Especially if they had drafted Marino.
Too bad Al Davis was in love with him for some reason.
Al Davis blew it--BLEW IT--three straight off-seasons.
Spring/Summer 1983: Didn't draft Dan Marino
Spring/Summer 1984:
Didn't sign free agent Warren Moon out of CFL
Spring/Summer 1985:
Didn't sign free agent Bobby Hebert out of USFL
Explanation each time? "We're committed to Marc Wilson."
