He's discussed this before. Whether he was referring to Ralph, Phillips, or Johnson.......who knows?

Former Bills defensive end Marcellus Wiley spoke with Vic Carucci for this week's "One-on-One Coverage," and it didn't take long for the Doug Flutie-Rob Johnson debate to be rekindled.
"This is no shot at Rob, but Doug would have won that game for us," Wiley said. "It’s just that simple."
This of course refers to the Bills' wild-card game against the Titans on Jan. 8, 2000. If you're not familiar with this story, Flutie quarterbacked the Bills to a 10-5 record but was benched for their playoff game after Johnson performed well in Week 17 while Flutie was being rested. Coach Wade Phillips later stated that owner Ralph Wilson forced him to start Johnson. And everyone knows how the game ended.
Wiley still believes it was a forward lateral, but his point was that if Flutie started, it would've have even come down to that play.
"It wasn’t 50-50; I would say it was 70-30, 80-20 Doug," Wiley said of the locker room split supporting Flutie. "But the craziest thing was how it played out in real time, how we knew Rob had to start the last game ... And I remember when Wade came in and said, 'Guys, we’re changing quarterbacks.' It was craziness. People were like, 'What?' Then, we all calmed down and realized, 'Hey, it’s playoff week and if those are the marching orders, we must follow.'"
