Mickey Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So, just how long has it been since the Bills were in the Playoffs? On January 8, 2000, the last time the Bills were in the Playoffs: 1. The average price for a gallon of glass was $1.26. 2. Bill Clinton was President of the United States. 3. "Seinfled" had been off the air for over a year. 4. "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence was 9 years old. 5. I had a full head of hair. 6. The top grossing movie was "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and it would have cost you $5.00 to see it. 7. AOL had 23 million subscribers, it now has 2.5 million. 8. 64 MB of RAM cost $100 (8 Gig's now cost $50-70, 128 times cheaper than in 2000). 9. Blockbuster turned down an opportunity to buy a new company called "Netflix" for $50 million. 10. Napster was still a thing. 11. Cell phones all had black and white screens that were 2"x 2". 12. As a harbinger of many TV horrors to come, "Survivor" debuted to massive ratings. 13. The evil that was Pokemon raged across the American landscape consuming all in it's path. 14. We were still referring to online fun as being on "the Web". 15. We were all looking forward to a long and successful career for Rob Johnson as our franchise QB. Feel free to add.

MichFan Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My 13yr old son, turning 14 in 6 weeks, has not seen a Bills playoff game in his lifetime. That's the most troubling statistic to me. I've never been able to enjoy a single Bills playoff game sitting side-by-side with my teenage son and he's never experienced the feeling of waking up on a playoff gameday.

I've never been able to enjoy a single Bills playoff game sitting side-by-side with my teenage son and he's never experienced the feeling of waking up on a playoff gameday. My kids simply expect the Bills to suck every year because that's all they have ever known. That's not all bad as they are never disappointed at the end of a season. However they are old enough to remember the Sabres not sucking so they do expect more from the Sabres than they do the Bills.

Gordio Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) My son has never seen a Bill playoff game either. Hell, he turn 10 in April & he has only seen the Bills with a winning record once in his life & that was when he was a year old for christ's sakes. It is almost unfathomable that the playoff drought has gone on this long. What is even more disturbing is some of the clowns that have made the decisions that have contributed greatly to this drought are still here. I got a really good feeling though this drought is going to end this upcoming season. If they do make the playoffs this year, the week of the playoff game I am going to go on a massive 5 day bender, starting Wednesday morning & I am not going to stop drinking until Sunday night. It may cost me my marriage, my job, but god dammit it will be all worth it to watch some Bills playoff football.

WotAGuy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I was a season ticket holder, and married with three daughters (14, 12 and 11). I'm now a divorced grandfather (and I get laid waaay more often) - and I DVR games if it's a beautiful day to be outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
