At 1 time he had a better starter record than,
McNabb,Brady,McNair,warner,but still when it mattered he would just choke.
00 playoffs against the Raiders.
We drove down thier throat after stoping them.He is right there to take the lead.He throws right to Tory James.
6 the other way.That was what killed are spirits.
If we wouldve scored that game would have been diff.
Remember it well. A qb who did enough not to lose in the regular season but could not do it in the playoffs. Serviceable qbs will do that for you and nothing more unless you get lucky. Franchise qbs win in the playoffs regardless of the odds. Our history with qbs over the past decade allows us to cherish the memories of Dan and Griese all so much.
To win in the playoffs, typically, you gotta be able to run well. We've never had that (in this generation). Servicable QBs can get the job done, if you can run the ball to take the pressure off (Dilfer). We had the running game that year but ran the wheels off Lamar Smith in the game against the Colts (40 carries / 204 yds.) The Raiders had a week off and frankly we didn't stand a chance. We blew our load in the Wild Card game and were beat before we even took the field.
we won despite him
Yeah right dude, it took Lamar Smith 40 carries and 208 yards to overcome Fielders 3 interceptions in our only playoff win with him over Indy, he was a mediocre QB who would and never will win anything significant for an NFL team.
All of you pups that think now reflect on the Fiedler years with warm memories of greatness make me laugh.
Oh, and Marino won a lot of playoff games, including getting a mediocre Dolphins team to 3 AFC Championship games and 1 Superbowl.
Marino led us to 10 playoff seasons, only 3 were one and out.
