@@EdmacZ 1988 for me, which was the perfect time for Bills fans. Watching overpaid actors in costumes following their assignments wore me out about 15 years ago, however.
Agreed. All things considered, the 90s was probably by far the greatest quarterback era in NFL history. It was a far more physically difficult game and mentally difficult when you take into account that back in those days the quarterback had to have complete command of the offense unlike today where quarterbacks are very much more controlled by the coordinators/play callers. And let’s not even get started on these undeniably quarterback friendly and catering rules added to the game to increase scoring and inflate passing numbers 😒
That last touchdowns to the post in double coverage. I watched it 20 times and slowed it down. Unbelievable. When Peyton brought up Marino in his HOF speech it broke me.
@@MrEOM41There's nothing like the dolphin wearing a helmet of a dolphin on the display of that helmet. It's just literally endless! Signing off, Redskins Nation dude PS--Dan Marino IS the best quarterback in history...HTTR forever
Idk if you mean pre-1997 or the 1997 logo, but I like the logo that the Dolphins had during Marino's final years, and the Zach Thomas/Jason Taylor era! I wish they kept it.
We never could stop Moulds - that guy torched us every single game. Still, as a Dolphins fan I went berserk when Trace Armstrong demolished Flutie to end the game. Great stuff.
AFC East was amazing that year. The Jets were the 2 seed, Miami, Buffalo and New England were wild cards. Indy (was in the AFCE in 98) had a rookie peyton manning.
How the dB could hold Moulds to prevent him from recovering his own fumble was dirty. Also horse collar and no flag definitely wouldn't fly in today's game.
I've been an NFL fan for just over two years and I love watching the old games and Dan Marino I've never seen such an accurate quarterback in my life, unfortunately I haven't seen him play in his era but I consider him my favorite player.
@@nickelcityyt4026 from a Dolphins fan from Mexico for 40 years (thanks to Marino of course)... great respect for fans like you . I really, from heart, want the Bills to win it all this year. The Bills fanbase deserve it so much, its time to close the chapter of the 80's. Also, I did not liked the NFL resolution about the issue related to seed 1/2/3. It favored the Chiefs with the seed 1. I hope the Bills or the Bengals , in that order, go to the SB. To finish my comment, love for Damar Hamlin from Mexico as well.
It is so impressive that there were still major holdovers from the early 90s: Bruce Smith, Thurman, Reed. Knowing they would all call it after next year really puts into context just how monumental a moment that next year and the Music City Miracle is in Bills history. They basically didn't recover until the McDermott era
I remember when he signed with Buffalo in 98'. He was just coming off 2 Grey cups in a row. The media immediately thought he was to old and small. He proved everyone wrong! Flutie is the greatest CFL player in history and is the best QB for his size in the history of professional football.
But he literally was too old & small 😂 Doug was awful in ‘99 & posted one of the lowest completion percentages in the league due to his need to flush the pocket to even attempt downfield throws
That might be the craziest end to the first half i’ve ever seen: - Dolphins intercept Flutie at the goal line - connect on basically a hail mary with a lateral to get into field goal range - potential go ahead field goal goes off the upright
Patriots versus Broncos as well - Brady intercepted at the goal line basically by Champ Bailey who is tackled at the other goal line fumbling it out of bounds but they called it a touch down
Loved Flutie from BC to BC to Calgary, Toronto and Buffalo. Nobody came close to bringing the excitement of reliving childhood street football to the pro game like he did! He was all of us in our big league dreams.
He had a tough matchup this game as well - He had a touchdown in the end zone that would have probably been a touchdown because of replay. Flutie hit him with some amazing passes
If Marino had been allowed to play in his prime under current rules that baby quarterbacks He would pass for 6000+ yards and 65TD in a season. This guy was a stud QB who could fire a damn football like a sniper with a scope.
I'm so sick and tired of hearing about what Marino woulda,coulda and shoulda done. What did he actually do in reality?? Absolutely nothing!! That's why he has ZERO rings!!!
I was at that game. Snuck into club level at halftime for a mixed drink and got thrown out. Still had my ripped ticket and got back in through the handicap elevator in time for the 4th quarter!!! Awesome memories
Van Miller was the best sports announcer of all time, so glad we had him in Buffalo during the Bills era of domination in the late 80s into the mid 90s. The Bills were still a formidable team some years after their SB runs and might've made a 5th SB appearance if not for a questionable forward lateral by Tennessee after the Bills had more or less secured a lead to end that game. Only the Bills lose in that fashion, no other team in NFL history took such heartbreaking losses as the Bills did over the years.
Such a cool blast from the past! Watching Richmond Webb and Bruce Smith line up against each other was an absolute treat! Both absolutely relentless against each other the whole game, and they'd been doing that for 9 straight years by this point.
The main thing I remember of this game was Jimmy Johnson smashing a box of Flutie Flakes afterwards and later apologizing because proceeds of Flutie Flakes went to charity.
The defense was probably the best defense in football at the time. They didn't have a dynastic defense like the ravens had, but everyone knew the bills defense were one of the best.
I feel like in today's game Flutie would be given more of a chance than back in his day. If the uncoachable Kyler Murray was selected overall, I see no reason why Flutie would not be a 1st round pick and starter now a days.
Nice to hear Van Miller's call. Flutie made some great throws but carless with the ball including twice inside the 6 yard line with no points both times.
The fumble at the end of the game, Flutie had to get rid of it as if he was sacked the clock wouldve run out. The first one at end of first half hurt big time.
@@RichV20 both fumbles were the result of very poor blocking. Saw the replay of the first fumble, and maybe it wasn't a fumble, as he may be down when the ball got out. The INT was his fault.
@@leonardoyi3183Doug had a ton of time in the pocket on that last play, that’s completely on him. It’s ironic that Flutie’s remembered as the elusive QB when he blew this game flat-footed in the pocket. Meanwhile, Rob Johnson is remembered for getting sacked & when he was in the same spot a year later, he flushed the pocket, hit Peerless Price for a first down - while wearing one shoe - & successfully set up the go-ahead field goal. Doug’s entire legend revolves around a made up what-if victory he never had to earn. I wonder what Flutie’s legacy would be if he started in Tennessee & lost 🤔
@carlmichaelcordes Doug had a ton of time in the pocket on that last play? Well it certainly can happen, and even the best qbs have a lot of time in the pocket on failed plays. Does that mean the QB did a poor play? Not necessarily. Now, let's also not forget the bills were robbed of a TD pass caught by reed. Regardless of everything, rob Johnson was a shitty qb everywhere. He wasnt a shitty qb in Jacksonville as he almost never played.
That first fumble was really the difference in the game..shame because Moulds was so good for Buffalo..and could’ve had a legendary career had he actually had any decent QBs besides Flutie in his career
This game defined the Jimmy Johnson era with Miami lol just weird things happening but made the playoffs every year except 96 and turned them into defensive team
As a Pats fan, I hated that late 90s/early 2000's Dolphins defense. It was always so damned stacked. You had Madison, Surtain, and Brock Marion in the defensive backfield. And then guys loke Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor in the middle and up front. I HATED that Dolphins defense because there was always so much talent rotating in and out of that team every single season.
the play at 6:40 is impressive, in current football they would have put their knee on the ground but with a qb as a sailor those last seconds gave hope of getting more points
At 9:58 in the video the announcer says that It was the tailback Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I did not know that Kareem also played football for the Miami Dolphins on top of being the center for the Los Angeles Lakers
Nice. I vaguely remember this when I first began watching football this year during the regular season. Thanks for the upload. Maybe this channel can upload the 1997 wild card game between the Vikings and Giants from the previous postseason. I hadn't started watching football yet, but I've heard of it, and apparently it has an exciting ending.
The Jimmy Johnson years were so frustrating in Miami. He built a good defense, but actively worked to neuter the offense. JJ wanted to trade Marino when he arrived in Miami and tried to supplant him with Craig Erickson. When that didn't work, he took away Marino's ability to audible because letting Marino run the offense was "going to the cookie jar". The offense became "hand the ball off to subpar RB's for 1st and 2nd down then throw the ball to slow WR's on 3rd and long." If JJ was trying to replicate the Dallas formula, he failed miserably.
id say your assessment is pretty spot on..Miami lacked run game and legit RB Marinos whole career, and once the Mark Bros left, he never had a legit #1 receiver either...Marino never lost his arm, but my God the man was slower than Brady LOL..he really couldnt move in the pocket his last 6 years or so..I still feel bad for how his last game went..62-7 L is a horrible way for a HOF career to end
@@carsonc29Marino and Jimmy Johnson in their last two playoff games in early 99 and 00, were outscored a combined 100 to 10 😩Jimmy’s biggest mistake was trying to turn Miami’s offensive philosophy into Cowboys offensive philosophy. The only problem with that was, he didn’t have Cowboys talent to affirm the philosophy.
The 4th and final playoff game between the bills and the dolphins. All 4 happened in the 90s, 2 in orchard Park, 2 in Miami. Bills went 3-1 in those games
I'm a Rider fan (in the CFL) and even I liked Flutie even though he was never on our team. But the games were always exciting when he was in it. His brother Darren was a good receiver with Hamilton.
Except prob wasn’t. He he took forever to just reach out and tried to power in instead and knee looked to go down first. No replay back then. Plus no excuse to ever touch a ref. Classic reed running a short route even to short.
@@GlennShook Obviously you can't touch the ref... but that was a TD. And I realize Reed was an asshole... still, can't really mock him for going over the middle - very tough to do -- especially back then
Doug flutie was a great quarterback when he was playing against average teams. But up against the better teams he always fumbled, threw interceptions, and would lose the game for his team.
It's crazy to think a year later I'd fall in love with the Buffalo bills and spend most my life never seeing a playoff game 😂 but it's been fun lately.
Sad I was actually a Dallas fan then. The Bills is where it was actually at. My favorite Quaterbacks are Frank Reich and Josh Allen so yes i watched quite a few games from the past and some several times.
You are not watching clearly. Tua has a very quick release. Seriously, do you know how to distinguish between quick release and waiting for play to happen. If anything Marinos short game hasn't impressed me, at least from tbis highlights. I am definitely a Marino fan.
Just read that for the 25th(!) Anniversary the movie "Titanic" is being released BACK to the theaters so you can experience another famous historical moment..
Back in those days, several players were asked, "What comes to mind when you think of Dan Marino?" Most of them said, "Quick release." The split second Dan's brain told his arm to throw a pass, the ball left his hand quicker than any other Quarterback in the league.
For this game we were not allowed to use the ABC audio, but we were able to find the radio broadcast by the Bills! Hopefully you all enjoy!
How come? The raído isn't bad at all
@@BigtimeSauce probably legal reasons
ABC owns the rights to the audio for all the older broadcast
Radio tends to be more descriptive than broadcast anyways because the listeners don’t get to see what’s happening, so it’s perfectly fine

I feel same about baseball with idiots posing like a staue after every homerun.
Geezus, I forgot how quick Marino's release was. Tua's seems to take forever. Never seen someone so pocket savvy as Marino either. Big Ben came close.
You are not watching clearly. Tua has a very quick release. Seriously, do you know how to distinguish between quick release and waiting for play to happen. If anything Marinos short game hasn't impressed me, at least from tbis highlights. I am definitely a Marino fan.
What a treat to hear van miller. Get well soon murph!!!
Moulds was an absolute beast. He was so underrated.
Dan Marino threw absolute darts.
Facts!
Great call on the 2 point.
Van Miller was a legend
Man 25 years ago , and I wasn’t even born then DAMN
Just read that for the 25th(!) Anniversary the movie "Titanic" is being released BACK to the theaters so you can experience another famous historical moment..
Zach Thomas needs to be in the HoF
6:36 is such an underrated play.
By the mid-90s I was SO SICK of the Buffalo Bills....
For sure in today’s game they’ll definitely call that roughing the passer
Yea what a shame
Perfect Flutie toss at 10:33
Bills really got reffed in this one. But that’s nothing new.
Back in those days, several players were asked, "What comes to mind when you think of Dan Marino?" Most of them said, "Quick release."
The split second Dan's brain told his arm to throw a pass, the ball left his hand quicker than any other Quarterback in the league.
Love the Grittiness of the Game back then
Se habla poco de Flutie pero también fue un grande llevando consigo alas grandes leyendas
Damn, this was an exciting one. What a debacle. Buffalo played so well moving the ball but kept blowing it with turnovers
5:55 I'm pretty sure that's a touchdown.
Flutie Flakes!
Kirk Schultz what a name
Kurt Schulz. He knows nothing.
Some crazy home field refereeing in this game.
Is that Van Miller on the call?
Yep sure is Van Miller
Awesome video
He rocked flutie ass on the last play 😂😂😂
ON GOD!!!
Holy shit. He laid that mf down like. Surprised he got up Armstrong gave him hell holy shit
The game was much more physical back then and back when u can hit the QB.
Moulds should be in HoF
Flutie just had a 6th sense for sensing pressure. So this hit at the end was even more of a shock.
I remember watching this game live as an 14 year old.
If this game happened now I would die of an heart attack
This was our generation’s answer to Allen’s first playoff game at Houston 😅
Football is always a great game regardless of which era it is.
