For those of you who did not know, the Buffalo Bills made the playoffs for the first time since 1999 just this past week.

I'll be completely honest when I say that I am new to being a Bills fan, so to me, it was more of a joy to watch their insanely awesome fan base finally see their Bills back in a playoff run. Regardless of being a new fan, I joined my boyfriend's family (who live for Bills football) in the ups and downs of Bills football for the past three seasons and have learned to love this team. Regardless of win or loss, everyone can agree that the Buffalo Bills sure have a hell of a fan base.

Here's to the Bills fans that have attended each and every game in the past 18 or more years and hoping you enjoy this run - regardless of how long it lasts. Here's to you getting sunburned in September and being covered in snow in December and through it all, drinking your beer and standing by your team.

Here's to the Bills fans who go to Bills Bars across the country to watch their team faithfully each and every Sunday. We know you'd be there if you could be, but sometimes life takes you away from your team. Most people in this circumstance would pick a new team or fade from being a fan, but not Bills fans. They show up to these designated Bills Bars in cities nationwide and they cheer on their team no matter what.

Here's to the Bills fans who take the Shout song to a whole new level. They sing the Bills version no matter the occasion, whether it be at a wedding, a graduation, a dance, a different sporting event - it's always the Bills Shout Song and you know what? It always should be.

Here's to Bills Mafia, and there's nothing else to explain because Bills Mafia will not be messed with and you're damn proud to be a part of it. #BillsMafia

Here's to the Bills fans who show up to the arena for tailgates at 7 AM and don't let anything stop them: rain, sleet, hail, snow or shine (it is Buffalo, after all). If you are dedicated to get up at 5:30 or 6 AM to get to the arena early enough to not only have breakfast but also lunch there before the game, that's some serious dedication and it's so worth it.

Here's to the crazy, table-breaking fans. It's not a tailgate without you seeing multiple people jumping off their cars to break tables and it's not Buffalo if you don't see it happening at least three times on your way in to the arena. Some may call you crazy, but hey, it's part of the fun.

This just scratched the surface with some of the lovable craziness of the Buffalo Bills fan base, but trust me when I say that they are among the best. They are the most dedicated and passionate fans and I can't wait for them to start being a contender in the next few years.

So here's to you, you crazy Bills fans and the wild ride of being a fan of New York's football team!
