The Dolphins of that era were one of my favorite teams back then, and I could probably still name close to half the starters on both offense and defense. My favorite team until 1976, that is.
RiverDog wrote:It's been awhile ago, but I recall a game late in the regular season that pitted the Dolphins at home against an undefeated team (Bears, I think?). They made a big deal out of the '72 Dolphins, talked about the current team defending the Czonka/Griese/Warfield team's perfect record, and sure enough, the Dolphins won.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that It was the same year that Arizona coach Dennis Green had his famous "they are who we thought they were!" and "..crown their ass" post game melt down on MNF.

Without doing a fact check, that sounds about right.

They went 13-3 in 2016 but were one and done in the playoffs. They were never a threat to the '72 Dolphins record as they lost their opener.
You're right, they were a flash in the pan. They missed the playoffs last season and aren't looking so hot this year.
Most of the players on the Seahawks injury report — RB Chris Carson (hip), G D.J. Fluker (calf), DT Nazair Jones (illness), S Bradley McDougald (knee), G Jordan Simmons (calf), DT Shamar Stephen (foot), LB K.J. Wright (knee) — are listed as questionable. CB Neiko Thorpe (groin) is the exception and he’s listed as doubtful.
The Rams don’t have any players listed on Friday’s injury report.
