Gugny Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 The only Flutie magic I liked was when he disappeared from Buffalo forever. !@#$ that piece of ****.

cba fan Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 If the idiots doing clock management on Bills sideline would have waited a few seconds before calling timeout before Christie's game winning kick.........Music City Debacle would have never happened. CLOCK management- GET SOME!!

Would you please make your thoughts known more clearly and succinctly. Thank you. My apologies. What I meant is that Flutie was the consummate team player who never cared about individual accomplishments or achievements. He did his best to mend a severely split locker room and he was a leader via his stellar command of the offense - never straying from the plays being called. His pinpoint accuracy and unbelievable ability to read defenses led the team into field goal range more times than I can count on my fingers and toes, combined. The fact that he's not on the Wall of Fame (the wall of a porta-potty at Hammer's Lot) is borderline criminal and he will forever hold a special place in my heart.

In all seriousness, the latter half your comments sadly make me think of Tyrod Taylor. Soon to be another failed QB on a long list of them in Buffalo.

How they can think that Tyrod Taylor is an NFL QB is laughable. The latest thread suggests that he would have been fine had the Bills simply kept Woods and Watkins. The WR’s make the QB is the premise. I guess that is why Brady has been so successful. Look at the long list of WR”s that have come and gone in NE. They made his career, didn’t’ they?

Yeah, we did the Woods/Watkins thing. That might have been the year that our passing game got all the way up the 26th in the league, I'm not sure.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Rob Johnson sucked that game and that decision is why the Bills have missed the playoffs for 17 years. What a terrible, awful, stupid decision.

So yes, I am a dead horse beater. Especially when my comments were buried in a thread abou Flutie and Rob Johnson. LAMP, LAMP, if I had been really smart I would have opened a thread on the topic. That has happened so infrequently.

He'll always be hated by bills fans for the music city miracle, but if you go watch the 2000 season highlights, he really wasn't THAT bad. He definitely wasn't mobile and wasn't perfect by any means. But I'd actually say he was a fairly good pocket passer. Dare I say better than Tyrod? RJ sucked and always sucked. He is why passer rating is such a dumb stat. RJ would rather take a sack than throw an Int or a new incompletion to hurt his rating. He was soft and terrible. flutie wasn't great but he had at least more than one good game on his career unlike RJ. But the benching of Flutie and him taking us to playoff berths in 2 seasons has clearly benefited this franchise. We've been awesome since we got rid of that stupid playoff qb!!!

Alexa, what were Rob Johnson's statistics against the Tennessee Titans in the playoff game on January 8, 2000?

His little pixie hop pass fake? Defenses weren't getting fooled by it anymore. We won 5 out of the last 6 with that "pixie hop fake pass". What was the problem again? No way Flutie fumbles out of the back of the EZ for a safety. After ensuing free kick Titans score their only TD of the day. that was the difference in the game. Why didn't Wade go back to Flutieathalf time?
Sweats Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 I'm just wondering if Ralph may have been going a little senile by that time and when he heard the name Rob Johnson, misheard it as Jack Kemp. "We still have Jack on the roster?............start him!!!!!!" - RW

I will also never forget RJ in that regular season finale against the Colts. It was an absolute clinic; he looked like an all-pro QB. I can see why Ralph or wade or whoever thought he should start the WC game. Then he played a very solid game on the road against a ferocious Tennessee defense (one that hadnt lost at home, as I recall), and got us the W before the you know what. Plus, the Bills had been struggling to score points through most of that season under Flutie. They were carried by their defense.

Like come on Wade, Doug played the entire season and you let the owner see one good, but meaningless game control your coaching decisions? And I still don't know how friggin' Truman beat Dewey!

Why didn't Wade go back to Flutieathalf time? Is that so? Trailing 24-17 in the closing moments of the 1998 season wildcard game against the Bills biggest rival in Miami.......Doug Flutie fumbled the ball away at the goal line with the Bills just feet away from a tying TD. It was his second fumble of the game..........capping a day where he lead the Bills offense to 5 turnovers.........(have I mentioned) AGAINST THEIR BIGGEST RIVAL......in a far easier venue.
