I started watching the Dolphins in 1984 so I will go in chronological order.

Dolphins 28 Cowboys 21 - First Dolphins game I attended was the 1984 week 16 finale on MNF in the OB. It was rocking by the way.

Great list, wow.
I'll add fake spike game
2001 week 2 I think last second win vs Raiders Fiedler scrambles past Trace Armstrong for the score.
1982: beating the Jets 14-0 in AFC Championship.
Underrated win: 1982 Round 2 playoff victory vs San Diego; one year after the Hook and lateral game loss, we paid San Diego back with an ass-whoopin'.

You're right I forgot about those games.

The Wildcat game is my favorite memory. Getting Ricky back from retirement that year already had me hyped to watch the season. Seeing us whoop the Patriots with this unstoppable play was a sight to behold, especially since it ended their regular season win streak.
 
Man, some of you guys really put us newbies to shame.

I came aboard in the mid-00's so my best memories are 1-hit wonders:

2007 - OT win over Baltimore to avoid 0-16.

2008 - The unveiling of the Wildcat in our win at NE.

2012 - Tannehill looking like a franchise QB in our win over the Seahawks. We thought we had something.

2020 - The arrival of "Tua Time" in Arizona. In hindsight, maybe a bit of a mirage.

2022 - 6 TDs from Tua in the comeback over Baltimore.

2023 - Tua looking like a stud out-dueling Herbert in week-1
2023 - 70-points against Denver


With all those being 1-off games (none being in the Playoffs or anything) you can see why my generation is so skeptical and pessimistic all the time. 😆

Heck, we've often gone 3-4 years at a time between these sorts of games.
 
Sooooo many great ones listed, some of which I'm happy to be reminded of.

A couple of my favorites, although already mentioned - the fake spike and indeed, any win versus the Jets. I hate them.

Undefeated Bears, MNF.

Marino's first game back from achilles. He was "washed up" in preseason.

Wildcat game. A little Dan Henning magic. He is now my step-brother's father-in-law, just to add a little spice ;)

Any of the Miami Miracles. There's been a few.

Couple of various exciting overtime victories - safety sack being one, Camarillo another.

Trace Armstrong crushing Flutie into flakes while Shane Burton recovered the fumble.

Many more, but my people need me!
 
Ahhh favorite games....I'm going to list ones I saw because although I've seen the Bears game in 85 it was through YouTube many , many years later...in no particular order...

1994 Fake spike against Jets
1990 Eagles game
1990 Chiefs Playoff game
1991 Chicago Bears
1992 Bills (Louis Oliver game)
1992 Chargers Playoff game
1993 Thanksgiving DALLAS game (Leon 💯)
1994 Patriots (season opener game)
1994 Raiders OT game
1994 Chiefs (regular season)
1994 Chiefs Playoff game
1995 Jets (season opener)
1998 Broncos (regular season)
1998 Bills Playoff game (flutie flakes incident)
2000 Colts Playoff game (Smith runs wild)
2001 Raiders (Fiedler magic)
2002 Broncos (Fiedler magic 2)
2003 Dallas Thanksgiving (Chambers and ZACH THOMAS)

After that...I liked the Pats wildcat game...various games here and there throughout the years like the 2008 season finale against Jets...miracle against Pats....recently the Tua Ravens game and Chargers game...

...the 70 pt game I'm actually disappointed because I'm a greedy bastard when it comes to a legendary record and you opt NOT to break the scoring record when you had it basically given to you 😂...i liked that Camarillo play but the season was trash and Billick gave us that chance so mehhh 😂

Heres some film with Mad Dog and co. On the call!

84 AFC Championship Vs Pitt.
My first live NFL game. That whole year was magic, but being there was so memorable.
The Orange bowl was a lot of things, but when it was rocking, wow.
2nd attended memorable game - Nov 10, 1985 Jets at Miami
Miami 21-17 50 yard TD to Duper (8-217 2TD night) with little time left. We were sitting in the corner of the end zone where he scored,
with Jet fan friends. That place went nuts.
As far as not being there, has to be 1985 Vs the Bears. what a spectacle, what a game!
The last few years have had a lot of good times, but not just there yet
 
As an older guy, this is easy. Both super bowl wins. Super Bowl VII, being the first one was exhilarating. More so expected the following year.

Regular season was the Monday night win over the Bears in 1985.

The 1984 AFC Championship win over Pittsburgh in Dan Marino's first full season as a starter is definitely high up there for me.
