Doug Flutie praises Josh Allen’s heroics while humorously admitting he missed the comeback for a hockey game

Doug Flutie, the former Buffalo Bills quarterback, took a moment to commend the current star of the team, Josh Allen, for his incredible performance during a thrilling game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bills, trailing by 15 points in the fourth quarter, orchestrated a remarkable comeback, scoring 16 points in the dying moments to clinch a 41-40 victory.

Flutie’s Self-Deprecating Humor

As the Bills gear up for their Week 2 matchup with the New York Jets, Flutie’s reflections on Allen’s heroics provided a thoughtful yet humorous take on the situation. Despite being a standout quarterback in his own right, Flutie’s candid admission of missing the comeback due to a hockey game added a light-hearted twist to his praise.

“I was watching at the hockey rink because I had a 10:45 men’s hockey league game. I didn’t get to watch the comeback; I had to watch the highlights when I got home,” Flutie shared, acknowledging the irony of being preoccupied with another sport during a pivotal moment in Bills history.

Admiration for Allen’s Talent

Flutie’s admiration for Allen was evident in his comments. He expressed a belief that with Allen at the helm, the Bills are never truly out of a game. “I had that feeling about Josh all the time, that you are not out of a game,” Flutie said. He went on to articulate how Allen embodies the style of play he aspired to during his own career.

“He plays the game the way I wanted to play the game, and I tried to play it, but he’s a lot bigger, a lot stronger, and can throw the ball through a brick wall,” he added, highlighting the unique blend of physicality and skill that sets Allen apart from many quarterbacks.

A Legacy of Resilience

Flutie’s comments resonate not only with Bills fans but also with a broader audience that appreciates the tenacity and resilience displayed by athletes. As the Bills prepare for their next challenge, the confidence in Allen’s capabilities remains unwavering. Flutie’s blend of self-deprecation and genuine admiration encapsulates the spirit of sportsmanship and the enduring legacy of the Bills franchise.

As the season unfolds, both Flutie and Allen represent different eras of the same franchise, united by a shared passion for the game and a commitment to excellence on the field.
