Watkins90 Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 How Wade Phillips let Ralph Wilson convince him to start Rob Johnson in that playoff game against Tennessee? Like come on Wade, Doug played the entire season and you let the owner see one good, but meaningless game control your coaching decisions?
Green Lightning Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 They cover a kick and we win. Doubt Flutie would have made the ST stop.

Your boss give you an order, you follow it or become quickly unemployed. 2

When your boss tells you to do something, and you say 'no' and do your own thing, there is a chance you get fired. I'd imagine this was the fear for Wade. Ralph was a meddling owner. 1

Success Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 This is good. We need to work through these issues now if we’re going to break the drought on Sunday. 5
QB Bills Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Been busy so I still haven't gotten around to watching that game yet. No spoilers! 4

Midwest Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Don’t think that if Mahomes has an unbelievable debut Sunday Andy Reid won’t consider starting him over Alex Snith.

White Linen Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Can someone please tell me why we gave Chris Kelsay that massive contract?

His little pixie hop pass fake? Defenses weren't getting fooled by it anymore. 1
BADOLBILZ Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Imagine if you will if Peterman had put up 35 points in that Chargers game instead of 5 interceptions in just 2 quarters. Better yet, make it the Patriots game. Flutie was brutal all season.........he lost two games AT HOME to non-playoff teams that year... that's how they ended up on the road in the playoffs despite having the top defense in the entire NFL.......and he struggled mightily to pass the ball and put points on the board despite quite a lot of offensive talent. It was a pretty easy choice really.........with Rob Johnson they felt they had a chance to beat anyone in a year when the SB was up for grabs..........including the #2 seed Colts who they had just slaughtered with Johnson at QB in a meaningful game for the Colts. With Flutie they were going to lose to THE FIRST TEAM they met in the playoffs that was willing to just contain him in the pocket and "make him be a QB". That may or may not have been in Tennessee........but it would have inevitably happened in Indy or Jax.......teams with more passive defenses. 1

Why are you debating some of Buddy's ingenious moves? After all, Ralph knew he was the most qualified because he didn't know any of the other names on the list.

LABILLBACKER Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 So far what have we learned: 1. The curse is all Ralph's fault 2. Wade has no guts 3. And we'll never know if Doug would've had us up by more than 10 pts?
