Greetings from the UK. Can't say I have a huge interest in american football but you've got to love the last minute-in the face of adversity-ness of it. Classic stuff. Those across the pond type in 'Jimmy Glass - Carlisle Utd Legend' for a similar moment where our different variations of football gives you goosebumps.
I loved watching Flutie in the NFL too. Though I am a Steelers fan, I customized a Bills jersey with his number and name out of admiration for his play on the field. Flutie was the most exciting football player of all time in my opinion.
I'm tired that people are saying that Flutie sucked during his NFL Career and are amazed why he is loved so much. You want to know why?
Because Flutie is an A-Class person whose got a heart of gold and who worked hard to accomplish his goals. People here in Buffalo to this day still love him for not only his heroics on the field, and his charitable nature off of it. You ask a Bills fan about Doug Flutie and they couldn't think of one bad thing to say about him.
I don't know how a great coach in Bum Phillips can have a son in Wade Phillips who was/is a bumbling idiot, in fact it was Ralph Wilson himself who demanded Wade play Johnson instead of Flutie for reasons no one knows (this was when Ralph started to become senile) Flutie was the darling of the city because he personified the city's toughness and will.
@Oldschoolhockey91 i think it was because Ralph was paying Johnson big bucks and wanted to see him play...stupid move...you don't put in a QB with only 1 game under his belt in the playoffs.
The best is the BC radio announcer having an aneurysm on the air. That slug Brent Cheeseburger's call isn't anywhere remotely as magical. Arguably the best play in the best college football game ever played.
@windtested The BC announcer is Dan Davis, who does Sportscenter updates on ESPN Radio, and who has one of the best announcer voices you'll ever hear.
Would've been great to see him get a real chance in the NFL before he finally got one in Buffalo. He was 22-9 as a starter with the Bills and might have gone to two Super Bowls had not Wade Phillips pulled him for Rob Johnson in that so called Music City Miracle and if Thurmond Thomas had chose to block the blitz against Miami he may have scored beating Jimmy Johnson once again.
One of the GREATEST QBs EVER! He had to come to Canada to prove himself because he was "too small" to play in the NFL. What a crock. Flutie never got a fair shot in the NFL because of stupidity. But we loved him here in the CFL. He was made for the Canadian game.
@csquaredremixz nfl busts...you're kidding, right? he had a succesful few years in the nfl as the bills starter and he was probably one of the top quarterbacks of his generation...in his prime, that is.
@csquaredremixz no that is not it, its because you are being a dick for no reason. We look at the fact that the man did more then what he was thought to do. As for the fumble in the playoffs, that happens to a lot of QBs. Its not like Peyton never threw an interception in an important game......as for the CFL it developed him. What about Kurt Warner? I guess he sucked to......
@littlelionman1 LMFAOOO, do you know that Kurt Warner and Peyton Manning both have rings,right? Flutie's LONE playoff game ended with a fumble. Perfect example of how overrated Flutie is - only a fool would name Warner and Manning in a Flutie discussion. 0-1 career playoff record. Any other questions, little man?
@csquaredremixz Peyton's first year in the NFL 3-13........ Flutie had one game in the playoffs. ONE GAME! how fair is that? Peyton is 9-9 in the playoffs and he has had 18 tries. 1 ring, But he is a God for his regular season stats.....Unfair. Give Flutie 18 tries. How can he be overrated when he over achieved?
@littlelionman1 You're isolating Peyton's rookie year to justify that Flutie's ENTIRE CAREER went without an NFL playoff win? He's commonly talked about as a legend when he was never in the top 10 in any statistical category ever in his NFL career. He overachieved AND he's overrated... and you DO realize that Peyton carried his team to said playoff tries, right? And you realize Flutie didn't have that chance in the 90's because he was so awful that no NFL team would sign him, right?
@csquaredremixz You do realize that Flutie had several come from behind wins in the NFL, right? He never got signed for his height. Btw when they draft QBs they look at all the skill sets, but they always look over the most important skill of them all, the ability to win. Flutie was a winner! Remember Ryan Leaf? Shows how much NFL coaches know..... ALSO it was not Peyton who carried that team, it was coach Dungy. Dungy made Peyton. Peyton was shit before him.
@littlelionman1 Few QB's DON'T have several come from behind regular season wins. That makes Flutie a legend?? Based on your Dungy/Manning comment, you clearly know nothing, so I'll just move along... LMAO @ retards thinking Flutie was a great QB when he never won a significant game in his NFL career. Very cute, moron.
@csquaredremixz WOW really? Everyone knows Tony Dungy made Peyton Manning great. BTW when did i say Flutie was a legend? I thought he was great for how small he was, but never did i put him as the all time greatest. The reason i brought up manning in the first place is to show that a lot of the greatest players choked, but they got more shots then Flutie. How can you hate a man who never got a shot because of his height? PLEEEASE tell me how Flutie is overrated? you know nothing about football.
@littlelionman1 "Everyone" knows? I'm pretty sure Peyton took a Dungy-less Indy team to 13-3 in his second season and has been elite ever since... how is Flutie overrated? He never won a single significant game in his entire NFL career and douchebags like you are still trying to make a mountain out of a molehill of a career. Nothing cuter than a know-nothing trying to diminish Peyton and overhype Flutie in the same paragraph.
@csquaredremixz hahahahaha "He never won a single significant game in his entire NFL career" I've told you over and over again that he never got another shot because of his height. Flutie was great and if you want to be a total cunt then by all means be one. Btw Peyton never won a playoff game until Dungy you moron! And it took him 4 Playoff games to win one. unfair that you give peyton 4 tries while flutie got 1. So have a nice day :D muhahahaha
@littlelionman1 Flutie had a TWELVE YEAR career in the NFL. Peyton had thrown for more yards in the few pre-Dungy years than Flutie did in his entire 12-year NFL career. Manning got more chances because he was a much, much better QB who EARNED them by getting his team that far. Excuses and "what if's" are cute and make you feel like a wannabe pundit, but really make you look like a bitter Flutie dickrider. He had 12 years to accomplish something in the NFL. Oops, guess he needed more time...
@csquaredremixz@csquaredremixz Twelve year career in professional football not just the NFL Hell the guy didn't even get to start a NFL game until 1998. How is it that when Peyton chokes in the playoffs you still give him his credit for the regular season but when Flutie does the same thing (maybe not as good) you shit all over him? Peyton is by far better then Flutie, but Flutie by no means was a shitty NFL QB. If Peyton was 5'10 he would be nowhere near as good as Doug.
@littlelionman1 No, 12 years in the NFL between Chicago, New England, Buffalo, San Diego, and New England again (1986-89, 1998-2005) Flutie started 15 NFL games before ever playing for Buffalo, including a playoff game... oh,which he lost.
MANNING WON A SUPER BOWL AND GOT MVP HONORS. Flutie never won a playoff game. Keep making up "what if's," very cute... here's another one: if Flutie was bigger, had a better arm, and better accuracy, he would have been a better player. Wow.Ground-breaking.
@littlelionman1 You mean his 38 total wins in his 12 year NFL career? He had 32 losses to go with it, including an 0-2 playoff record. That's impressive to you? A 38-32 record? That's barely above .500. Peyton Manning earned 30 wins in his first 4 seasons alone, BEFORE Dungy got there.
Thank you for once again showing how Flutie fans defy logic to hype up their little hero.
@littlelionman1 Mark Sanchez did, and won. Now that I played your game and showed you know nothing, its "chill out." Nobody's yelling over here, sweetheart. Go be a moron somewhere else.
@littlelionman1 Personal Question. Why do you go to Doug Flutie videos and hate on the guy? Do you hate the people who like him for no reason (i thought he was pretty good for how short he was, i was never trying to say he was a god) People have the right to like or love anything they want. Some people like Doug Flutie and some people like eminem (even tho his music is terrible).
@csquaredremixz@csquaredremixz Twelve year career in professional football not just the NFL Hell the guy didn't even get to start a NFL game until 1998. How is it that when Peyton chokes in the playoffs you still give him his credit for the regular season but when Flutie does the same thing (maybe not as good) you shit all over him? Peyton is by far better then Flutie, but Flutie by no means was a shitty NFL QB. If Peyton was 5'10 he would be nowhere near as good as Doug.
Doug Flutie is without a doubt the best QB to ever play in the CFL, and one of the best college players of all time. The only place he never got recognized for being as good as he really was (John Madden called him the best QB of his generation), was the NFL, where he never really got a fair shot because of his size. And he arguably could have done even that, winning a Super Bowl with the Bills, if it weren't for Wade Phillips pulling him in favor of Rob Johnson. Dumbest NFL move ever.
@poopmaster13 I'd say Trace Armstrong gave him a "fair shot" to the blindside when Flutie fumbled away Buffalo's Super Bowl hopes in the '98 Wild Card. Hands-down the most overrated QB in NFL history considering how little he actually accomplished in that league.
I agree with you, I think the best part of this is how the announcer makes the call, the guy goes nuts, and I mean the first one: "Phelan is down, OH HE GOT IT, TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN, TOUCHDOWN!!!" Just gives you the chills...
How about during that same call, you can hear the announcer from the next call in the background. That guy was probably freaking out pretty loud to be heard on the other broadcast mic.
I just wanted to say on this day what Doug Flutie has meant to football. Never give up,be a great teammate and leader and miracles will happen! Watched this game with my Dad as a teenager. it was like time stopped for awhile. Doug is a great inspiration to many!
Flutie was drafted out of BC by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1985 NFL Draft but did not sign with them at that time. Flutie played in the USFL, where he signed a six-year, $8.3 million contract to play for the New Jersey Generals. Flutie played one season with the Generals before the league folded in 1986.
Hail Flutie. The day he left Buffalo there were Bills flags at half mast. And then they thought Rob Johnson would be good...and then Drew Bledsoe...and then JP Losman...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The Bills are idiots! They should NEVER benched Flutie who put the team in the playoffs and had "FUCKING" Rob Johnson, the most hated man in NFL history, in the game after six weeks of injury and lost the fucking game!!!!!
Here's something I don't understand why the most hated coach in NFL history still have the job? First he got fired from The Broncos when he benched two Elway's key players and lost the playoffs in 94! Then he did it again with Fluite/Johnson and The Bills in 99! And finally he benched Romo and TO with The Cowboys and lost the playoffs last year! Do anybody have a clue about this asshole? And rumors right now that he is going to coach either The Lions or The Rams next year! GOD! Fire him already!
i remember the old man wanted to see the the last play . i thought it was over. instead i got to see the greatest play in football,ever. david brought down goliath.
My brother was watching this game, this day, on TV. I sat down to watch because some of his friends were kinda cute and older guys (older like 19-24) and sort of exotic.
I saw this play and became a life-long football fan. I will never forget this play and how exciting/wonderful it was. I forgot all about everything and remember the second the ball was in the air. It was like everything just STOPPED for that little bit of time...
Amazing, sad that the NFL never gave him a real true starting QB job, where he was the man and was not a seat warmer for a rookie or rehabbing vet. I think if had played the whole game vs. the Titans in 99 we might have had a Rams-Bills SB instead.
Greatest colelge football play ever and arguably the best play ever. Standford/Cal was great, but sort of quirky. This game here was an epic and the finish is arguably the best capper to any college football game ever. Miami was a juggernaut in those days.
Agreed! I remember being mesemrized watching this game....Greatest single play in one of the greatest games not only in college but all of football...By the way
didn't Miami lose the week before to a Frank Reich led Maryland team in a precursor to the Bills-Oilers playoff classic? I can't seem to find it...
As someone who is somewhat of a UM fan, and also one who can't read all comments here, doesn't anybody notice that UM's coverage was horrible? The receiver was wide open....Nobody ever seems to mention this. Flutie basically built a career around this one play.....
its called a hail mary for a reason jackass. Stuff of prayer. For a UM fan such as a yourself...this was a million years ago. What the hell do you have thats against it? And flutie didnt build a career off of that one play. Its probably his most memorable one but i'd rather him than a....jamarcus russell. This guy had heart and played the game the way it was supposed to be played. (the WR wasnt wide open) hence the huge crowd of db's in front of him. The ball just sailed perfectly over them all
They said it's because there was an incredibly strong wind, that Flutie had already throw about 45 passes and they just figured he couldn't throw it that long. The guy had a cannon arm.
How can you say that Doug Flutie built a career around this play? Flutie was a great quarterback for most of his whole career, look what he did up in Canada when he got a chance to do what he did best, that is a scrambling exciting playmaker.This is probably one of the best game ending plays in college football history, let alone football history itself. As far as the coverage, how many people are on Phelan in the end zone-I counted 3 people so I wouldn't call him wide open by any means.
to guitaristmanguy and remuxe....pull your head out of your ass and move out of your moms basement, and recognize the greatness of football. flutie, the steelers, the 07 Giants... and quit being douches while your at it, shit. get a fuckin life
I had a chance to meet Doug's parents at my Grandfathers funeral. MY grandfathers son, my uncle went to high school with Flutie, they both became friends playing for their high school.
Ok. How many of those rings were won back in the roided teams of the 70s??
I bet you weren't even alive then, therefore you have no right to brag about championships for which you were not alive for.
BTW, Baltimore has just as many championships as Pittsburgh does, just not Super Bowls.
LOL at "us pittsburgh fans are winners." Sounds like something your mom tells you every night to make you feel good about yourself. This is why I can't stand you bitches. So damn cocky and arrogant.
Way to fucking fail dipshit. I said BALTIMORE. Not the Baltimore Colts or the Baltimore Ravens, I said BALTIMORE. Fucking tard, go back to your putrid elementary schools and learn how to read.
This is perhaps one of the greatest achievements in college football. With my nick you *must* know that I am a proud Eagle. Go Boston College! P.S. As I write this I am eating a bowl of Flutie Flakes.
doug flutie got drafted in the pros and played for a couple of years then went to the cfl for 12 years and set a ton of records and he made the cfl Hall of Fame and came back to the Nfl for a couple more years then he retired he was very underated
im pissed he mad that cthrow and catch but it stil was a nice throw go canes! also wasn't flutie like one of those players who was one of the best in college but blew like ryan leaf? in the nfl
Uhhh Bill Flutie...father..?

@csquaredremixz how are you not hearing me DOUG FLUTIE IS THE BEST QB TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!
littlelionman1 1 year ago
@littlelionman1 Personal Question. Why do you go to Doug Flutie videos and hate on the guy? Do you hate the people who like him for no reason (i thought he was pretty good for how short he was, i was never trying to say he was a god) People have the right to like or love anything they want. Some people like Doug Flutie and some people like eminem (even tho his music is terrible).

@csquaredremixz @csquaredremixz Twelve year career in professional football not just the NFL Hell the guy didn't even get to start a NFL game until 1998. How is it that when Peyton chokes in the playoffs you still give him his credit for the regular season but when Flutie does the same thing (maybe not as good) you shit all over him? Peyton is by far better then Flutie, but Flutie by no means was a shitty NFL QB. If Peyton was 5'10 he would be nowhere near as good as Doug.

Doug Flutie is without a doubt the best QB to ever play in the CFL, and one of the best college players of all time. The only place he never got recognized for being as good as he really was (John Madden called him the best QB of his generation), was the NFL, where he never really got a fair shot because of his size. And he arguably could have done even that, winning a Super Bowl with the Bills, if it weren't for Wade Phillips pulling him in favor of Rob Johnson. Dumbest NFL move ever.
poopmaster13 1 year ago 5
@poopmaster13 I'd say Trace Armstrong gave him a "fair shot" to the blindside when Flutie fumbled away Buffalo's Super Bowl hopes in the '98 Wild Card. Hands-down the most overrated QB in NFL history considering how little he actually accomplished in that league.

How about during that same call, you can hear the announcer from the next call in the background. That guy was probably freaking out pretty loud to be heard on the other broadcast mic.

hoth1138 2 years ago 2
Flutie was drafted out of BC by the Los Angeles Rams in the 1985 NFL Draft but did not sign with them at that time. Flutie played in the USFL, where he signed a six-year, $8.3 million contract to play for the New Jersey Generals. Flutie played one season with the Generals before the league folded in 1986.

Here's something I don't understand why the most hated coach in NFL history still have the job? First he got fired from The Broncos when he benched two Elway's key players and lost the playoffs in 94! Then he did it again with Fluite/Johnson and The Bills in 99! And finally he benched Romo and TO with The Cowboys and lost the playoffs last year! Do anybody have a clue about this asshole? And rumors right now that he is going to coach either The Lions or The Rams next year! GOD! Fire him already!

My brother was watching this game, this day, on TV. I sat down to watch because some of his friends were kinda cute and older guys (older like 19-24) and sort of exotic.
I saw this play and became a life-long football fan. I will never forget this play and how exciting/wonderful it was. I forgot all about everything and remember the second the ball was in the air. It was like everything just STOPPED for that little bit of time...

Amazing, sad that the NFL never gave him a real true starting QB job, where he was the man and was not a seat warmer for a rookie or rehabbing vet. I think if had played the whole game vs. the Titans in 99 we might have had a Rams-Bills SB instead.

Greatest colelge football play ever and arguably the best play ever. Standford/Cal was great, but sort of quirky. This game here was an epic and the finish is arguably the best capper to any college football game ever. Miami was a juggernaut in those days.

Agreed! I remember being mesemrized watching this game....Greatest single play in one of the greatest games not only in college but all of football...By the way

As someone who is somewhat of a UM fan, and also one who can't read all comments here, doesn't anybody notice that UM's coverage was horrible? The receiver was wide open....Nobody ever seems to mention this. Flutie basically built a career around this one play.....
cd637299 2 years ago
its called a hail mary for a reason jackass. Stuff of prayer. For a UM fan such as a yourself...this was a million years ago. What the hell do you have thats against it? And flutie didnt build a career off of that one play. Its probably his most memorable one but i'd rather him than a....jamarcus russell. This guy had heart and played the game the way it was supposed to be played. (the WR wasnt wide open) hence the huge crowd of db's in front of him. The ball just sailed perfectly over them all

They said it's because there was an incredibly strong wind, that Flutie had already throw about 45 passes and they just figured he couldn't throw it that long. The guy had a cannon arm.

How can you say that Doug Flutie built a career around this play? Flutie was a great quarterback for most of his whole career, look what he did up in Canada when he got a chance to do what he did best, that is a scrambling exciting playmaker.This is probably one of the best game ending plays in college football history, let alone football history itself. As far as the coverage, how many people are on Phelan in the end zone-I counted 3 people so I wouldn't call him wide open by any means.
