Long time fan here whose first Bills memory was 1966 AFC championship game loss to the Chiefs at home.
I’ve been through the Knox era losses to Chargers in 1980 and losing to Kenny Anderson Bengals in 1981.
The Marv Levy Bills’ 1988 loss to Bengals was a tough pill but that Bills team were newbies to playoffs. Their foibles from 1988 - 1996 caused a long standing angst in me but drew my kids into Bills fandom.
As I have aged the tragic losses - Wide Right, MusicCity Miracle and 13 Seconds - have hurt less and less as my life perspective has changed.
While I hope the Bills win today and go on to the Superbowl I am at ease with any outcome. This year’s team has overcome so much already and will always hold a place in my fondest Bills memories.
That said, Go Bills!!!
