Question
How do you feel the Bills made out in letting Doug Flutie go?  Can Rob Johnson lead the Bills, if so how far?  When will the Bills get a desent replacment for Thurman Thomas?  Antwain Smith surely isn't it.

   I personally loved Flutie, I think he was a great player who only now has about a year or two left in him, but I had a gut feeling they were letting him go. Johnson is a good qb, dont get me wrong, but I kinda miss Flutie. But we got to look past that and I do believe Johnson can be a leader. We drafted and picked up some nice OL and they will do awsome at protecting him, especially in this new West Coast Offense. As for decent replacements, I think we got a great one in the draft, and that is Travis Henry. I think he should be our feature back and Im hoping we will make Bryson our FB. I believe Antowain Smith is as good as gone, Ive heard the niners, which i doubt, and the bears seem like a greater possibility. Well I hope Ive answered your question, Keep in touch.

Thanks
