*Limelight* Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Congrats to the Dolphins for an ubelivable turn around. Too bad it ended so quickly in the post season. Love to see what they could do next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats will be back with a vengance! Thanks for the info Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if you can get in with a 10-6 record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 ttt This is the best season that the Fins have had since the turn of the century. They were boosted that year by playing the AFC West and NFC West, the two worst divisions in football that year. Some things change in just six years time, others don't...we still suck. (Actually, the Fins sucked that year too, they just beat a bunch of bad teams by less than a TD.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know it existed before that. I think we used up all our luck that year for the next 10, just to get to the playoffs by beating a bunch of bad teams. I think I'll go puke now....

Cyclonus X-1 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Cool. I remember this season for the Fins. I thought about bumping the thread for the last great season the Lions had... but that one was posted in 1957. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was by far the best season I was actually alive for. Though, while they definitely played their hearts out that year, there was some luck involved too, the same sort the Fins had in '08 (not the toughest schedule, a few fortunate bounces of the ball, fluky comebacks, close wins over bad teams, etc.). Strong teams that could pass the ball well (Redskins, 49ers) absolutely pounded them. They were 12-4 that year, but haven't been better than 10-6 since.

Did you ever get to see Marino live? The first Lions game I actually attended wasn't until a year or two after Barry retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, maybe I oversold it a bit. It was an exhibition. Dan played one series (a three and out) and Favre played two. Not the stuff of legends.
