In 2oo2 and 2oo3 the Dolphins had ten games without Fiedler. They went 4-6. in 2oo2, it definitely had an effect. Not sure about 2oo3. I don't believe they win those games with Fiedler that they lost with Greise. Odd thing about 2oo1. Miami could have had a bye that year. They tied with NE. NE won because of their division record.
It wasn't so much that Fiedler was great, it was that Ray Lucas was disgusting garbage and killed our season. If Fiedler didn't get hurt in that Broncos game, the whole season is a lot different.
