I am 21 and became a bills fan when I was 8. That was in 1999 when the Bills last made the playoffs and when Smith, Reed, and Thomas were still here. I remember that season being such an exciting team to watch. Every game was an emotional rollercoaster, especially for an 8 year old just learning football. Flutie was magical, our receiving core was exciting, and our defense was solid. I recall every game either being a blowout for one team or the other, or being a nail-biter to the end.
So the Bills finished 11-5 that year. I was ecstatic to watch a playoff game. But unfortunately, we all know the end. Just an FYI, when Christie made the game winnIng kick, to this day it was the best feeling i have ever felt. I put my hands up slowly, tears of joy literally started flowing out, and I was the happiest little boy there ever was. Until..........
Then after that disaster I remember going directly downstairs (even though the bills were getting the next kickoff) and I turned on my play station 1, put in madden 2000 and played as Tennessee and my opponent was the Bills. I purposely ran backwards every play for a safety and let the Bills score every play, I was that mad.
Ever since that day, my life has been near-perfect. Except I'm missing that winning feeling. I just want a taste of that again.
