    Doug Flutie??

    I remember when Flutie was pulled in favor of Rob Johnson does anyone remember why because I do remember this was a real bone head move but just couldnt remember why they did this?

    Because Wade didn't stand up to Ralph.

      Yeah very likely! I mean Flutie was a good QB and got us in the playoffs and all of a sudden hes on the bench !

        I think we could have gotten to the SB that year against STL. The Titans, got lucky and beat us, despite the fact RJ was QB.... They ended up almost winning the superbowl...

          There where reports that year that Ralph came down from his office and told Wade to start RJ the very next game.

              I said it then and I say it now WE GOT SCREWED THERE! If that happen in Buffalo we would have won but since it was in Tenn. they got the homefield call!

                  This was the decision that set the Bills back indefinitely...

                      This is what I like to call the curse of doug flutie. Ever since this happened we decided to go with rob johnson as the starting qb the next season and we never seen a playoff game after.

                        Flutie struggled a lot of the year...Wade had a perfect excuse to give RJ the start in the final game of the season because we had gotten into the playoffs thanks to our defense and couldn't advance in the rankings...RJ had a good game and Ralph ALLOWED Wade to make the switch. Only the conspiracy theorists believe Ralph forced the switch...all it was was rumors started on the radio ....Ralph was the one behind that ridiculous contract extension that Flutie got in the 99 offseason.

                          I believe it was againts the colts and RJ had a "perfect game"

                            The day the Bills signed Doug Flutie signaled the beginning of bad times, not the other way around.

                              I personally thought DF was a good QB he got us in the playoffs until they pulled him for RJ.
