It got worse for Flutie in the 2000 season.

On Monday, former quarterback Doug Flutie Buffalo Bills finally retired his career at the age of 43. The 5'9 Flutie played his entire career as an outsider, and seemed to hold out forever. Flutie in the NFL in 1986 and finished playing for the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, Bills and San Diego Chargers. Between 1990 -1997 played in the Canadian Football League, where he was a national idol and won six awards best player and a trio of Grey Cup title.
Flutie crossed the border between Canada and America before the 1998 season playing for the Bills, where the Flutie Magic Buffalo helped in the 6 Sanchez White Jersey
doldrums and into the national scene. The starting point to secure quarterback Rob Johnson in the 1998 season start, but Johnson was injured after leading the bills to a mediocre start 1-3. Flutie came to relieve and Johnson shocked the football world by 9-3 as a starter. He led the Bills in the playoffs, but lost the division rival Miami Dolphins in an AFC Wild Card Thriller infarction in the game. However, the year a great success for Flutie back winner of the NFL Player of the Year and was elected to the Pro Bowl, threw 20 touchdowns.
In 1999, Flutie and letters to the entry of the season with high hopes, and the amount of the regular season. Flutie started the first 15 games of the season, threw 19 touchdown passes and leads the bills to a record of 10-5. But in the last game of the season decided the former head coach Wade Phillips to relax and play Flutie Johnson, who beat played in the overwhelming victory over the Indianapolis Colts. In the dispute, Phillips inexplicably allowed Johnson to open the game for the Bills in the playoffs next week against the Tennessee Titans. Although the bills get put Johnson in a position in front of the famous Music City Miracle, many thought Buffalo would have won the game played in full Flutie.
It got worse for Flutie in the 2000 season. A controversy between him and quarterback Johnson broke out, are the inability of Phillips to a decision in the foreground. Flutie threw eight touchdown passes, compared with only three interceptions this year, but missed five games in favor of Johnson. Bill went only 8-8, Flutie was released after the season, and Phillips was fired. Ironically, Johnson ended up staying for another season.
Flutie exodus from Buffalo before the 2001 season, the Bills only 31-49 record in five seasons together. Were examined by Johnson, Alex Van Pelt, Drew Bledsoe, Kelly Holcomb and JP Losman at quarterback, but I've never met a player as consistently as Flutie. In fact, the calculations have not yet reached the playoffs since the 1999 season, mentioned above, when they lost to Tennessee.
Flutie is an icon in his hometown of Boston for the days of 6 Sanchez Green Jersey
the floors in the Boston College and New England Patriots, but is still revered in Buffalo. In a town full of losers, Flutie, the largest of all (or less), helped organize two special seasons with the change. His tenacious style more recalls his Flutie Flakes cereal, which was a great success in Buffalo.
