I see a lot of conjecture about Flutie and some believe he would have beat the Titans game in the playoff.  I can see it either way BUT there is thing no one has mentioned.

 

Fltuie was ALWAYS in in for Flutie first.  Flutie effectively divided separate that locker room, you were wither with Flutie or you were shunned. And true to form, after it was known Johnson would start the playoff game little Dougie was pouting on the bench during that playoff game, never once got up to help or give advice to Johnson.  As tight as the game was, had he EVER  and try to help Johnson or even encourage him, it could have easily been enough to secure a win.  We easily had  a shot at a Super Bowl which the Titans lost by 1 yard.

 

i personally think johnson was just snake bit, and having flutie behind him contributed to that (showing that flutie was an underhanded operator, and that johnson was simply no leader of men).  that said, i agree, i think if that kick got covered, that team was ready to just walk to the chip, and would have had as good a chance as any vs the rams.  pat williams and marcellus wylie, two multiple time all pro players, were back ups on that d line.

The question I have is if we prevented the miracle would those feeling we should have started Flutie feel the same way? Or who would we start the next game?
