    Kilmer was as tough as they come. Didnt look pretty doing it but got the job done. That last play with his helmet coming off and the look of exhaustion on his face is tough to look at. He was a gamer.

    The spirit of the nfl was just different and way better 🙏 I wanst even born then cuz im an 80s baby. When I watch these old nfl films they just strike me as being so much more fan friendly. You can tell the players had an intense love of the game and the fans. Love how the fans were allowed to run out onto the field like at 2:45 after the "immaculate reception". The fans are crowding around Bradshaw and he is loving it. You just don't see this type of player-fan interaction anymore. The 80s and 90s had some of the same spirit as well but the nfl began losing its soul in the 2000s. It became way too corporate and money focused. Where are the legendary voices like John Facenda? Even the commentators back then stood out as special.

    The Atlanta Falcons also had a 1000 yard rusher in 1972. Dave Hampton, #43 who appears in a couple of plays on this video, rushed for over 1000 yards on the last game of the season. The Falcons stopped the game to give him a trophy for being the 1st 1000 yard rusher in their franchise history. On the next play he lost 6 yards and finished the season with 995 yards. Well, I'm sure that's the worst letdown the Falcons ever had in their history.

      You probably only hear that in response to the assertion that the '72 Dolphins "were the greatest team of all time." Because they weren't. Don Shula himself said the '73 team was better.
      The '72 Dolphins are one of 13 teams to have defeated every mediocre team on their schedule during the regular season en route to winning the Super Bowl.
      The other 12 teams all had to face teams that were at least 3 games over .500, which is where their losses occurred. Miami's opponents in 1972 had a combined winning % of .367. They faced 0 division winners. They faced only 1 team from the other 5 divisions that finished as high as 2nd place. (8-6 Kansas City) And they faced a total of 2 teams with winning records. (8-6 NY Giants were the other one)
      Miami was undoubtedly the best team in the NFL in 1972. They deserved to be celebrated for their perfect season. But they were not the best team in NFL history. At the very least, the '73 Dolphins are ahead of them on that list.

    The NFL that year brought the hashmarks in to align with the goal posts. They believed this would open up the passing game. What happened is that that year there were more 1,000 yard rushers than ever before. It wasnt until 1978 that the passing game opened up with the addition of the "bump and run" rule.

    Whether some liked coach Van Brocklin, or not, he really improved the Falcons. They were a terrible team when he took over, four games into the 1968 season. In 1971, they had their first winning season (7-6-1) and 7-7 could have been 8-6 in '72. Botching a last minute, chip-shot field goal at New England, cost them the game.
    I was rooting for the Giants in '72. Went 8-6 but could not stop Larry Brown, and could not beat the Redskins. I recall their games being roughouse affairs.

    I recall three of the Dolphins' four wins against the weak Jets and Bills seemed fairly competitive, but maybe that was more a result of the Dolphins ball control strategy making those games seem closer on the scoreboard than they were on the field. All told, Miami's 17 wins included only 5-6 victories over winning teams, the primary criticism of those questioning their greatness. Even with 2 losses, the the 1973 Dolphins might have been the better squad, especially given how they destroyed their three playoff opponents by 17-18 points, in comparison to the 1972 team which almost lost to the Browns and Steelers .

I have the privilege to sit in the old Orange bowl On a Monday night game in 1985 when they beat the Bears. I am also a triple with the classic uniforms are so much nicer than the modern ones the Old Denver Broncos, Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins And the Washington REDSKINS We’re so much better than the modern ones don’t care about the Eagles. I hate them with a passion on a cowboy fan and a Miami Dolphins fan. The Eagles can implode for all I care.
