    That's sad to see, I hate to see the old Stadiums torn down.

    That was the site of our greatest win and probably our toughest loss('82 AFC Championship Game).

    Our toughest loss was the '98 AFC Championship Game. We had the lead late in that game. The '82 AFC Championship may have been our ugliest loss. But it was tough nonetheless.

    We didn't have the lead late in the game, we had it early in the 3rd qtr. In Miami we were scoreless at the half so were were in essentially the same position in both games. Both were heartbreaking and '98 may have been worse but '82 was arguably just as bad escpailyl when you consider we lost to a div rival who we had owned up until 1982.

    Great memories there. Some tough ones and some good ones. Where can I see pics of the new one?

    You mean Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphin Stadium? or the new Stadium that will be on that site? They are building the Marlins new Stadium there, I don't know if construction has begun yet.

    I would argue the ugliest loss was that 6-3 travesty with the Colts, just because everything about that game was the ugliest ever.

    Are you talking about the 9-5 game in '84? We have had a million ugly losses to choose from.

    We had the lead in the 2nd half and control of the game. I understand that we lost to Miami and they were a divisional rival, and it's heartbreaking to think that was the closest that group of guys ever got to the Super Bowl, but I still don't think they would have beaten Washington. In 98 we would have killed Atlanta. Anyway, just my opinion.

    I think we would have beaten Washington and we were up 10-0 but not really in control of the game. it took one play for Den to get back in it and we were almost out of it by the 4th qtr. Both were heartbreaking, I don't know which one is worse. We can make cases for both, I just hope we get another shot at some point in my life.

    Our toughest loss is either the Doug Brien game vs Pittsburgh or the Brown game with the Gastineau roughing the passer.

    I can agree BUT chances are we weren't winning the following week in either season while if we had beaten Miami and Denver we would have had excellent chances to win Super Bowls. As fas as individual games Cle and Pit are the worst but as far as Championship aspirations the Mia and Den games were the worst for me.

    Trying to pick the jets' toughest loss is liking trying to pick.......Shit, I just can't come up with an analogy that properly describes the utter futility of such an endeavor.

    The Brown playoff game is still hard to watch. That was my toughest loss by far, not sure why since the AJ and Bronco games were one step from the Bowl. I can not even watch it on NFL Network

    Does that team even draw enough to warrant a new stadium?
