Miami Dolphins (Official Thread)

Actually nervous for Tua this week. I do not want to see him get permanently scrambled. Ugh

The 1972 Dolphins (i.e. undefeated Super Bowl VII champions) can rest easy for another NFL season now.

Every season, whenever the last remaining undefeated NFL team lost its first game, all the surviving members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins opened bottles of champagne in celebration.

Just sayin': Apparently that story ↑ about the 1972 Dolphins having a "champagne toast" each year when the last NFL remaining undefeated NFL team finally loses a game is false:

Do 1972 Miami Dolphins Toast First Losses of Undefeated Teams?

Rumor has it that whenever the last remaining undefeated NFL team loses its first game, members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins open bottles of champagne.

Video of bundled-up Dolphins players warming up at Lambeau Field goes viral after Thanksgiving Day loss

The Miami Dolphins did not help themselves against the narrative of poor play in frigid temps after losing to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

The Dolphins have a bad record of playing in frigid temps​

The Miami Dolphins wanted to put to bed the narrative that cold weather games were their weakness.

Unfortunately, they were not able to do that after losing to the Green Bay Packers in frigid temps on Thanksgiving Day. In the lead up to Thursday night’s game, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said he believed it all came down to "mindset."

"We’re obviously nowhere near the temperatures where all these other cold teams play at being in Miami, where it’s 80," he said this week. "Sometimes it gets down to 50, but it just gets nowhere near the teams that make it in long stretches. To me it’s just a mindset, that’s really all it is."

However, there appeared to be at least one stark difference in the way each team approached their pre-game warmups.

In a video shared on social media, several Packers players were seen warming up in T-shirts and shorts before the game. Meanwhile, that same video captured several Miami players bundled up in sweats and hats warming up on the field.



The Dolphins have now lost their last 12 regular season or postseason games in which the temperature at kickoff was 40 degrees or lower. Thursday was no different, with a temperature of 27 degrees, with 10 mph winds and a wind chill of 18 degrees.

Miami’s last win when temps at kickoff were below 40 degrees was in 2016 against the Buffalo Bills.
