Cynical

Still not quite right. In 1986, Jimmy was the starter. I believe Fuller was second string and Tomczak was third (could be the other way around wih those two). Jimmy was injured in the opener and struggled to stay in the line up for the rest of his year. And if I'm not mistaken, Steve also ended up injured. Regardless, Tomczak ended up getting significant playing time (Mike finished the season with more passing yards than Jimmy, and the Bears credit Mike with 7 wins and no losses. Jimmy is credited with 6 wins and no losses, leaving Fuller no wins and two lossses. Bears QB Starting Records Take a peek at page 2). After game 12, Jimmy was put on IR (after getting pile drived into the turf during the game), Fuller was still nagged by injury, leaving just Mike as his only healthy QB. So Ditka traded for Flutie. Yes, Mike was unspectacular as the starter, but given the Bears strong defense, he was 7-0 as the starter (Hmm. Strong D, Weak O, but winning record. Sound familiar?). 7-0 sounds like a good reason to start the playoff game. Looks like Tomczak got screwed out of starting in the playoffs, because Flutie had a good game in the meaningless last game of the year. Ditka's "hunch" was DF would spark the Offense. (That also sounds familiar). Funny, some people want to believe DF got shafted by the Bills, but somehow, these same people will attempt to lead you to believe DF earned his chance to start in Chicago.

1986, the Bears were the defending SB champs and just finished a 14-2 season. Flutie's only start was the meaningless last game of year. Based on that performance and to the dismay of the Bears players, Ditka named DF the starter in the playoffs over a healthy Mike Tomczak. Flutie had a terrible game, and the defending champs were out of the playoffs. Fast forward 20+ years. In 1999, RJ plays well in the meaningless last game of the year where the Bills finish the seaon 11-5. Based on his play in that game and to the dismay of Bills players, RJ is named the starter in the playoffs. The Bills lose the playoff game. Poetic justice is not the Bills losing, but the fact DF got benched for the playoffs based on another players performance in a meaningless game, just like DF got the start in a playoff game based on his performance in a meaningless game.

Art Still, LDE, late 80's. Was let go after the 1989 season. Leon Seals took his place. Played for KC.

1. Wanted a new challenge / scenery. Career wise, I had moved up as far as I was going to go. 2. Moved to Cartersville, Georgia. 3. Housing prices are high in the Atlanta area. Property taxes are low, but you need to look at other taxes and fees which you may be charged for. 4. Like to. I may have a hard time convincing the wife (she's from this area). 5. As everybody else has said. Reduce government, lure business back into the state.

Taffy's in Orchard Park.

$75?! For 2 years?! I would be estatic if had to pay that amount.

Did I miss something? Don't we need a league first that is actually playing?

Local news clip said the county tax assessors were having a problem appraising it. Apparently they can't find some comparables. Go figure.

Yeah, but Jones was in love with Quincy Carter just a few short years ago. How right was he about that pick?

He left a tip? I heard he walked out on the bill. Poor waitress had to pay the entire $300 tab from her meager paycheck.

Well, he did have Flutie as a mentor for a couple of years .....

Playoffs RJ 0-1 DF 0-2 RJ left the field with a lead. DF First playoff game - his supporting cast was the defending SB Champs Chicago Bears. Flutie sucked in that playoff game. DF Second playoff game - Flutie left the field after he took a sack, and fumbled the ball and game away. Bottom line. They were both lousy QB's. There is no need to bring either back, for any reason, other than to line them up against the wall, and shoot them.

With DF, what "if" is not needed, because we already "know", from his time in Buffalo and San Diego. When push comes to shove, during that "must have game" Flutie may show, but odds say he will not. You can "lust" over DF all you want, and pin the Miami loss on Moulds, or be like the other Flakes and blame Andre, but DF did turn the ball over 3-4 times in that game, the last one doing the very thing all his supporters claimed he did not do. DF took a sack. In the process of that sack, DF fumbled the ball, and the game away. DF comes up big in the small games, but comes up small in the big games (no pun intended). We already have a QB like that here now. His name is Drew. Furthermore, the fact you even mentioned the scenario of choosing RJ or DF, as though these were the Bills only options, only proves the only way you can justify the greatness of DF is to compare him RJ. Try comparing DF to another QB, like Garcia or Holcombe (sp?).

Since neither plays for this team, and because of that, neither is an option, this has got to be the stupidest question yet. With that, your answer is: Neither player. Just remember, RJ has a SB ring, DF can't even win a playoff game.

The investigation may take longer than you think. John Kerry Web Site Kerry did mention the website during the debate in answer to a question about his plans.

By rolling back the tax cuts for the wealthy. He has said so.
