They find creative new ways to break my heart. After 45 years, I'm addicted to the pain. Like Bill Murray at the dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors."

It will make it all the more sweeter when they finally win it all. Or we'll all be dead. One of the two.

Saw an article a couple weeks back that said the only team that can beat the Bills is the Bills. Prophecy fulfilled. So frustrating.

I was 12 the last time the Bills were this good and remember, at least locally in Buffalo, there was tremendous enthusiasm and excitement. I agree with all the comments above that it was much different compared to the 24/7 of social media, but it was still palpable. I remember nearly every week on 97 Rock there would be some kind of parody Bills-themed song celebrating the team's success. The Bills dominated the Buffalo News headlines after every win. I very clearly remember, after the comeback against the Oilers, one of the local TV networks throwing up a "Congrats Bills! You're Unbilleivable" in the middle of regular programming set to EMF's "Unbelievable." Those incredible years sustained me, as I'm sure they did many, through the drought simply because we knew they could happen again. It's surreal and familiar all at the same time to be this good again. Older, wiser, and with more emotional football scars, I know not to take any of it for granted.

Who cares that the Vikings won? The fact that these contrasting temperatures are possible in an NFL stadium and that the extreme lower temperature always favors the home team is borderline criminal. Show me another stadium where player safety is so one-sided.

Allen screen pass to McKenzie, gain of 42 yards.

I came here to praise you for the use of "skiddaddle." Five stars. That is all.

Relish every moment, all - this could be the season we fondly remember for the rest of our lives.

Wow. Those actually look really fantastic.

A professor I work with lives in the same apartment building as Marv in Chicago and mentioned that he would see him working out every morning in the gym. I asked if he wouldn't mind delivering the letter and he agreed. Was a nice gesture.

Wrote him a letter following the Bills' loss in the playoffs earlier this year. As I kid, I always loved this quote he used to share: "Fight on my men, Sir Andrew said. A little I’m hurt, but not yet slain. I’ll just lie down and bleed a while… Then I'll rise and fight again." Thanked him for that. Came in handy to lessen the blow after that game and at other points in my life previously. Guy took the time to pen a handwritten note back thanking me and extolling the virtues of Bills fans and the city of Buffalo. Such a class act.

Bills will win the first 8 games. Allen will break his non-throwing arm in Week 10. Miami will win the AFCE. Keenum will help the Bills limp into the playoffs. Allen returns for playoffs and sends Bills to the SB.

Just the fact that we're all seriously talking about the Bills going back to the Super Bowl and not taking the piss out on each other is.... REALLY F-ING AWESOME. Don't worry, I'm terrified as well - but man, it feels soooo good to have this feeling. Let's just enjoy it.

I said exactly the same thing to my family. They didn't believe me. Decades of watching every. single. game. proved me right. Ugh. And yes, all of the hype has me terrified. That said, there was also a great deal of hype before last season (ESPN simulations had us winning the whole thing) and it turned out to be a (albeit, wonderful) roller-coaster season, so I feel more prepared for this one.
