BillsBeat - October 26, 2001

Pillar of Bolts secondary, Harrison ceding stats

‘Strong safety Rodney Harrison did it all for the Chargers last season. He led the team in tackles (127), interceptions (six) and passes defensed (17), and outpaced every NFL defensive back with six sacks. The scary part? He’s playing better this year.’

San Diego Union Tribune | Oct 26, 2001

Buffalo's QB isn't coy: 'Flutie not nice person'

‘”I’m not even going to respond,” he said. “I’m glad I’m here. I think there are a lot of people here, too, that are glad I’m here. I’ve got a lot of friends on that team and had a great experience in Buffalo. I enjoyed my three years in Buffalo and now I’m in a great situation here and looking to take a run at the playoffs.”‘

San Diego Union Tribune | Oct 26, 2001

Flutie takes another shot

‘As of late yesterday, 5,000 tickets remained for Sunday’s game…’.

Toronto Sun | Oct 26, 2001

Doug's a big fan of Canadian ball

‘Chargers GM John Butler refused to be interviewed by Buffalo radio or TV stations this week. He did agree to talk to San Diego outlets, but only on the condition they didn’t share the tape with affiliates in Western New York.’

Toronto Sun | Oct 26, 2001

Johnson: I'm not facing Doug Flutie

‘"I don’t really care about them," Johnson said of Flutie Nation. "Fans are going to support who they want to and I don’t think it’s really going to change anything."’

D and C | Oct 26, 2001

Johnson almost reunited with Chargers coach Riley

‘The two very likely would have been reunited last off-season had the Bills decided to release Johnson and keep Doug Flutie as their quarterback. Instead, Flutie was let go, he signed with the Chargers, and now Johnson’s arch enemy is playing for his buddy. A strange twist indeed.’

D and C | Oct 26, 2001

Chargers, Bills not hiding dislike for each other

‘"It’s one thing to see football — that’s a drama in itself," Wiley said. "But this one’s expected to be a notch above that. It starts up top, all the way down to the field. It’s just relationships. It’s almost a chance for the little brother to beat up his big sister if he can, and mama don’t get mad."’

Houston Chronicle | Oct 26, 2001

Containing Flutie key for Bills defense

‘The only one not expressing concern is nosetackle Pat Williams. "There ain’t no magic," Williams said of Flutie and the Chargers. "They lost against the Patriots, the Browns. They’ve been playing average. They ain’t showed me nothing."’

AP | Oct 26, 2001

BillsBeat - October 25, 2001

Johnson-Flutie rivalry once again takes center stage Sunday

‘"I think he’s starting to get a good feel for it," general manager Tom Donahoe said of Johnson. "He played with a lot of courage and a lot of effort. He has all the tools. … He’s definitely a quarterback that can win a lot of games for us." Whether he ever wins more than Flutie, however, remains to be seen.’

AP | Oct 25, 2001

Football fire still burning

‘NFL Films is doing a “Where are they now?” on Saban on the sidelines at Chowan and ESPN also is doing a feature on Saban’s nomadic career.’

Myrtle Beach Sun News | Oct 25, 2001

Fascination with Flutie continues

‘As of today, Flutie is 34-16 as a starter … making it all the more curious that he’s with his fourth NFL team in eight seasons.’

Olean Times Herald | Oct 25, 2001

Bills new and old go head to head

‘Rob Johnson knows fans on both sides of the Great Quarterback Controversy have been pointing to Sunday since the National Football League released its 2001 schedule last spring. He also knows that the debate over the relative worth of he and Doug Flutie won’t end after the Buffalo Bills visit the San Diego Chargers won’t end there, whatever the outcome. “Fans are going to support who they want to support,” Johnson said, referring to the Flutiephiles who won’t, or can’t, move on. “I don’t think this will change anything.”

Niagara Falls Reporter | Oct 25, 2001

Wilson had a point about Wade’s pact

‘Wilson’s position is that the firing was justified by Phillips’ failure to carry out a required task. And that’s hard to argue. While Phillips gets high marks for allegiance to a staffer, he still, according to Wilson, disobeyed the man paying his salary.’

Olean Times Herald | Oct 25, 2001

Now Flutie, Johnson battle from opposite sidelines

‘"(Bills owner) Mr. Ralph C. Wilson didn’t like Doug Flutie. Period," said Chargers assistant general manager A.J. Smith, who spent the past 14 years in Buffalo. "He didn’t like Doug at all. Ralph Wilson thinks he is a personnel guy, and he really doesn’t have a clue. He wanted Doug Flutie cut and gone his first camp."’

North County Times | Oct 25, 2001

Chargers contingent of ex-Bills plays down game . . . Yeah, right

‘Asked the difference between Rob Johnson, the quarterback Buffalo kept in the offseason, and Doug Flutie, the quarterback Buffalo released, Chargers wideout Tim Dwight said: “Doug’s good; Rob (stinks).”‘
