Doug flutie -a football life

[The Jokeman]

My recollection is that we'd already made the playoffs, couldn't change our seeding, so Wade sat Flutie to rest him. RJ comes in and destroys a bad Colts team. I don't remember them being a playoff team. Then Wilson made the decision to start RJ. I was at the MCM game. It sucked more being there.

The Colts won the division in 1999, they were 13-3. Had they beat us they would have been the top seated team in the conference instead of Jacksonsville.

How good he was in 1999? They glossed over that despite his winning ways the offense scored an unspectacular 17 points in the last 5 games with Flutie under center. Then RJ comes in after sitting most of the year and puts 31 against a playoff team in the Colts that 15 weeks earlier held the Flutie only put up 14 points again. The reason RJ got the start in that Titans playoff game was the offense was struggling all year putting up points and am sure Ralph saw RJ put up to above average performances by RJ in Week 16 of the 1998 and 1999 season and the thought we had a better chance to put up points. Again had the music city miracle run back never happened RJ would be applauded for that final drive when he was making plays with no shoe etc.

In addition, the OL was a M*A*S*H unit. Flutie would have probably lost tons of yardage running around back there trying to make something happen.

The Colts were 13-3 and had a first-round bye.

I liked Flutie then, and I still like the player he was. The person, not that much.

I had no idea that he had an autistic son.

Sad.

If you were old enough and followed the Bills, how could you NOT know he has an autistic son?

The thing that KILLS me about that 1999 team is I literally had NO doubt that had they won that game that they were going to the Super Bowl. I know it's conjecture on my part but I truly believe it.

next up would have been jacksonville. I'm sorry, but they were your prototypical paper tiger that year as evidenced by their early dismissal
there were the colts, who i believe we also had answers for.
then in the Super Bowl there was the greatest show on turf. i think we matched up well against them and would have probably won that game. we'll never know of course but along with the 4 superbowls, nothing ate at me more than that 1999 team and their number one ranked defense.

I know people will gasp when i say this but.... God I miss Wade
