#11 - A return to South Beach

After winning the Super Bowl with the '73 Phish I almost felt obligated to pick the 1977 offering. When stacked up against the remaining un-chosen AFC teams (HOU or NE) it was no choice at all. The '77 Dolphins are obviously a step below the teams of the early 70's, but somehow Shula just kept on winning with them. By this time Bob Griese came into his own and was more than just the band leader who handed the ball off and threw a few passes. By 1977 Griese was allowed to air it out and his results earned him a pro-bowl nod. I just wish he would have spent some of that extra money and bought a cheap pair of contacts. Those glasses under the helmet might have worked at Purdue where they are all engineering majors, but in the NFL ???
