I'm not but if I was in charge, the Browns would always wear the traditional all-white uniforms at home. A beautiful, understated, classic look. I hate them wearing all the brown and orange they do now. On gray northeast Ohio days (or nights in this case), the whites and the orange helmets "popped", dominating the picture.
This was my first ever football game I attended live. My dad took me and my two brothers. He told us if we told our mom about anything we saw going on at the game he’d never take us again.
Absolute glory days. Im now 53, but a 15/16 year old me and my late dad had season tickets in the dawg pound this season. I am so grateful I have these memories with the old man. It was the best times of my life. They didn't call it Pandemonium Palace for nothing...it was wild. If you were there in the 80s, you know what im talking about..lmao 🤣
They were. They would be together the next year because Dierdorf was at CBS calling NFL games with Dick Stockton. In 1986 on MNF, it was just Michaels and Gifford. Dierdorf made the team better.
The 1986 season was the end of Miami’s 16 season run of being the Big Dog in the AFC East. The 4 seasons between 86 and 89 - when Miami failed to really challenge for a playoff berth - were a huge opportunity lost - as marino’s peak injury free years were completely wasted. Over 4 seasons Shula (as GM) did not properly upgrade the defence or improve the running game. Shula really did not have productive draft over this period save for some success with Louis Oliver and Jarvis Williams - in 1990 he hit pay dirt with Webb and Simms to upgrade OL - but Shula the GM let down Shula the HC many times ver this era.
I loved Kosar. He was just this...unusual clunky thrower but so damn smart, so accurate and got the ball where it needed to be. He was a get'er done QB
These are not the “Cardiac Kids”. That was the 1980 team led by Brian Sipe. So many close come from behind games that season gave them the well earned nickname.
Another ‘great’ Dolphin defense to support DM. In 1986, 4 different times their Defense gave up 500 yards or more & this game was one of them. 558 yards by Cleveland’s offense in this game. Felt like they could just do what they wanted & surprised it wasn’t a blowout. Never felt like Miami was in this game. Cleveland was ahead of their time winning the coin flip & deferring, lol
1986 Week 10 Miami at Cleveland, not Cleveland at Miami. 1986 Week 10 was played at the old Cleveland Stadium off the shores of Lake Erie and The Dawg Pound.
November 10, 1986.....was at this game with family. Section 39, Row 8. We had 5 tickets in a row. Before the game I couldn’t figure out why my ticket was $25 less than the others. Well it was because I was right behind a pole. My worse / best experience ever.....5:22...Bill Cowher
At the 44 minute mark the dolphins got a play with 0:00 on the clock after the 1st quarter ended after a penalty in the end zone. Ive never heard of that option
My mom used to call Pruitt- "Screw it, Pruitt" He truly SUCKED. Dolphins also SCREWED IT up for years with no defense for Marino. Terrible wasted opportunity.
