Yeah they won, but nothing compared to Flutie at the helm... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH2_sEQfqN8

No he wasn't the only contributor. But neither was the defense. That was my point. Re-read. Debate all you want, but the bottom line is, and maybe it's a conspiracy , but when Flutie played the team won A LOT more often than any other QB on the roster at the time. People want to pull him out because he's not Kurt Warner or Tom Brady, but newsflash! He was the best we had. I honestly believe you Flutie haters have severe cases of Tall-Man Syndrome. Good luck with that!

Defense alone doesn't score points. But you're saying Flutie had NOTHING to do with the team making the playoffs? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! SERRRRRIOUUSSSLLLLYYYYYY?? Do you also think we didn't land on the moon? I honestly think that most Flutie haters don't even read any of the insurmountable evidence and facts that prove he was a good quarterback. You haters are like those 3 year old kids I see in the malls that start screaming and stomping their feet when they don't get what they want. Bottom line, RJ sucked it up, Losman sucked it up, Bledsoe sucked it up, and Flutie just lead us to the playoffs. Facts are there, can't deny it. Hope this helps!

Well I would think that would be a great trait to have, competitiveness. On top of that, Flutie commanded respect from everyone including Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith. I remember hearing how the defense would stay on the sidelines after a series to watch Flutie. No he wasn't a prototypical quarterback, which isn't hard to figure out with 175 lbs, he did his best when he didn't pass more than 25 times a game. With our runningback by committee approach at that time, it should have been easy for the Bills to manage. But in 1999, they had Flutie throwing the ball 30-40 times a game.

Twitter isn't anything special or new. It's essentially a facebook status only. Definitely not worth $500 million.

Tim, Do you watch Lost? What's your top 5 TV show rundown?

Making the playoffs is like a crap sandwich???

BTW, on that last drive they were at the 5 yard line, not the 1.

Oh brother....

To sit here and debate whether or not he was a product of the system or "got by with a great defense" is like talking to a pile of bricks. RJ had his shot, he failed. Flutie got his shot and made something of it. If you want to get specific and detailed about it, Flutie did about 100,000 times better than RJ did. He was the best option for the team, yet, some fans have a bitter regard for the man. Maybe they have tall man syndrome or maybe they have delusionitis. Whatever the case for them may be, when push comes to shove and when pen hits paper, Flutie rocked RJ's world upside down. Hope this helps!

I remember a TV shot of that game when Thurman ran onto the field flipping the bird. Very intense game.

He was a Pro Bowler. He led the Bills to the playoffs both years he started. That's more than any other quarterback besides Jim Kelly can say for the Bills. Ralphie got all jittered when RJ ran up the score on an Indy team that was playing for nothing and demanded RJ be the starter next week in the Wildcards since he had more money ($1 million) invested in RJ. That was one of the first signs we should have realized Ralphie has a tendency to jump the gun. Most recent case with Jauron's extension after the 4-0 start. Was Flutie the best quarterback in the league? Hell no. Was he the best available quarterback with the Bills? Hellz yeah.

Lost Notes: Season 1: Pilot Part 1 Smoke monster makes mechanical noises, like he was moving something? Like maybe the cockpit? Rose comments that the sounds the smoke monster makes is familiar to her. Why did smoke monster kill the pilot? Season 1: Pilot Part 2 On the beach, Locke plays backgammon and Walt approaches him. Locke asks Walt if he wants to know a secret, immediately after explaining the white vs. black concept with the board game. “Light vs Dark”. People assume he told him he couldn't walk before landing on the island and now he can. But what did he really tell him? Jacob and Esau are in the Old Testament in the Bible, Locke mentions that backgammon is older than Jesus. Of course christians know that Jesus isn't mentioned until the New Testament in the Bible. (Implies the game of good vs. evil goes back to the time of Jacob and Esau). Season 1: Tabula Rasa At the end, when Michael brings Walt his dog Vincent back, Locke is watching them. Does anyone hear the smoke monster rattle noise? Season 1: Walkabout After Locke takes the call from GL-12, the scene ends with smoke monster rattle noise, no? When Locke goes off to hunt alone, what happens after he encounters the smoke monster? Jack is talking to Kate on the beach, Jack sees Christian and follows him into the bushes, then out comes Locke with the boar. Locke has a weird look on his face. Season 1: White Rabbit - Season 1: House of the Rising Sun The bodies found in the caves, black and white rocks were found in a shirt pocket. Season 1: The Moth Locke gains trust of Charlie. Season 1: Confidence Man - Locke hit Sayid in the back of the head while he was trying to triangulate the transceiver signal, but incites blame on Sawyer, then gives Sayid a knife “in case there's a next time”.

I still have a red and blue box of Flutie Flakes. Oh the memories... I was 14 and in 8th grade.... Somehow they survived all of Jr. High, High school, college, and now. People surely think I'm crazy for carrying around saran wrapped cereal boxes when I move for the past decade. But I bet I'm the only person in the state of Mississippi with a box now!

He made a mistake and he halfway owned up to it. The thing I don't like about his show is how he uses it like many other comedians as a political tool if/when need be. Not that I'm a huge John McCain fan, but the difference in interviews between McCain and Obama on Letterman are VERY undisguised.

It's all global warming's fault! No seriously, I think it's just an easy routine to have indoor practices all the time. There's absolutely NO ADVANTAGE to Buffalo in a blizzard like condition with 30 mph winds in any game if their daily practices are indoors with 0 mph wind and 68 degrees F and a dry football. Get it? NO ADVANTAGE! And don't give me that repetition nonsense, they had all offseason to get the repetition down.

He broke some of a former Bills receiver's record at Mississippi State... just saying.

He's today's Shaud Williams.

LET FREEEEDOMMMMM RINNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG

Justin is a beast! Good guy too!

It's impossible to gain 20 lbs of lean muscle with just protein.

In an effort to keep this thread worth anything, I'll ask this, is it perfectly okay to have all private information publicized and scrutinized by the public if you're a pro athlete?? I wonder what our society would be like if it was reversed and people on the other end of the spectrum were subjected to such standards? May be a good time to change the thread title

This wouldn't even be mentioned if twitter or facebook didn't exist.

He's a Cowboys fan so that'll piss him off even more... if he ever figured it out.

Wow. That's pretty deep. My job has been to basically run and increase the company's growth. And I've tripled the total income in just 1 year even with a recession. I'm pretty sure when I give the owner my letter of resignation next Tuesday he's going to be in a fit of rage (especially since I'm going over to one of our competitors). There's no competition clause or stipulation in my contract. I would try to see if he wants to counter-offer the new job I'm going to, but I really do hate working for him. I figure I'd be short, concise, and professional. With a "thanks for the opportunity" at the end.
