We were going to play the playoff game (with Flutie) but Ralph (Wilson, team owner) called me and said, ‘Hey, we’re playing Rob Johnson.’ We’d won all these games (with Flutie) but he said, ‘I don’t care, we gave up a first-round pick’ and blah-blah-blah. I will say this, that (loss) wasn’t Rob’s fault … we were ahead with only 15 seconds left in the game. It wasn’t like Rob played so bad we couldn’t win.”’
