24 hours after my Bills clinch a playoff berth and I'm still smiling!

As someone who's lived through it all, I can honestly say that a 17 year playoff drought is much worse than losing four Super Bowls in a row!

I usually stay away from those boards because they're filled with RW jerks, but this was pretty cool in every way.

Going forward, I'll gladly root Dalton any time it doesn't hurt Buffalo. Marvin Lewis as well. The Bengals played hard, even though they were out of it, for Lewis.

You got our great kicker, Steven Hauschka. Our loss - your gain!

To top it off.. his less expensive replacement basically lost the season for us!

I’ll be rooting for the Bills in the playoffs!

I was going to tell the poster to take his hat and go home.

I don't think the Pats have it in the bag, but the Bills are not my worry.

Red Sox fans as well, while the Yankees were dominating the ALC East for what seemed like my whole life.

I too am not that confident in the Pat's going all the way this year. Brady's been playing injured, and let's face it he's 40. Still he amazes me every time he pulls the team from the jaws of defeat in the last quarter.
