Ugh I remember this game well. Horrible. At least we have fond memories of Thanksgiving '93 and '03. I think it was '06 also when we beat the Lions on Thanksgiving.
@jtradcgriffin Yup, I posted the 03 and 06 games. The 99 game was definitely a wipeout. As for the 93 game, our Thanksgiving Party was downstairs (My family lived in a condo at the time) as was the camera (with no TV) as the wild finish was taking place, so only 3 of the 20 of us saw the conclusion... wish I could have that one over again... My uncle actually had some film footage of the 73 and 77 Thanksgiving parties, with glimpses of the Dolphins games... have to see if those still exist. :)
Mare broke the record for FGs in a season that year. Rare to see him miss. I also think Yatil Green, our all-time first round bust, played in this game.
@dolphinsneu Yatil Green? LOL! Fortunately, you missed out on some of our 'gems' from the mid 80s (Jackie Shipp, John Bosa, and Eric Kumerow come to mind) and you may have been too young to remember the all-time disaster in 1995 Billy Milner (Which helped doom Shula)... With Yatil, it was very bad luck with injuries... these guys were healthy... but played like they were injured! :)
