I was 18. No kids. About to graduate high school. I'm now almost 36. Gray Beard. Gray hair. 

 

Have been to about 50 home and away games during the drought (while living in California). Haven't missed any of the 252 drought games. 

 

Have been married for 10 years with two kids. Just divorced the drought today and simultaneously booked my tickets to Jacksonville! What a day.

The young ones bring such extreme joy! We had the 4 year old grand son for Christmas (albeit on the 23rd) and it made the day. Love the avatar! 

Thanks man! Honestly, the little ones are all that really matter. As much as I love the Bills, at the end of the day, whether the Bills win or lose, seeing my little dude in his Bills gear is what it's all about!

On the very day of the last playoff game my daughter turned 1.  She is a college freshman.

Wow, this is awesome.  Let's see, the last time the Bills were in the playoffs, I had a ski vacation in Snowmass, skin in ski out for what it is worth. I ski'ed back for the second half of the game to see that We took the lead in not too many seconds, only to have my heart carved from my chest with the forward lateral, surely replay will over turn this, but no.  Little did I know but the drought was on

 

I was there in 2004 when we had a win and in and lost to the Pitt's backups.

 

I was there for all the crappy coaches.

 

I was there for Rex.

 

I am here for this playoff berth.  Well deserved by this Bills team!!!!!
