11 Years is an Eternity



Today marks exactly 11 years since the Buffalo Bills have been to the playoffs. In the grand scheme of their 50 year history, 11 years might not seem too bad. But consider this: Some of the current sixth graders were not alive when the Bills last played a playoff game; 11 years ago, the iPod had not yet been invented; Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and NSYNC were "cool" 11 years ago.

Interestingly enough, the Bills made the playoffs 10 of the previous 12 years before the year 2000. They were a dominate force of the 1990s. But those days are gone. The current young generation only knows the Buffalo Bills as a group of pitiful, pathetic, perennial losers.

For those of you who were too young, not yet born, or simply want to relive the infamous "Music City Miracle" play that eliminated the Bills from their last playoff game in over a decade, here it is. By the way, this is clearly a forward lateral and everyone knows that had the Refs made the right call, the Bills would have gone to the Super Bowl. Instead, the Titans went and lost by a yard.
