Freddie P. posted a little on Doug Flutie today and I have to agree with him. He talked about how Buffalo didn't appreciate him and hes right on.

Flutie was the last quaterback to lead the Bills to the playoffs. I remember that year well because my friend Rich and I watched every game at Shannon's Pub and the talk of the town was Flutie-Johnson.

We couldn't believe when Forest Gump Wade Philips put Rob Johnson in for the playoff game and cost Buffalo the game. Flutie was clearly the better quarterback and to me there was no controversy.

It was made up by the media, the fans and Wade Philips for not making up his dumb mind. Flutie played well down the stretch and gave the Bills a chance to compete in the playoffs while Rob Johnson rode the bench because of injuries all season.

Flutie was a true champion here in Buffalo and accepted it but he shouldn't have. He should have spoken up more and made a bigger stink about it. Freddie hit it right on the head and that team was destined to lose when that decision was made.

Congradulations to Doug Flutie, he was a class act.
