Bills fandom for atheists

With the Bills' loss to the Jets today, it becomes almost impossible for
the Bills to make the playoffs.
Luckily for me, I see the obsession with the playoffs as similar to
America's obsession with the afterlife, often at the expense of what
happens in the decades before death.
In Europe they enjoy having their soccer team win the regular season
points race. Although some of their many Cups are closely followed,
nothing compares to the prestige of winning the regular season title.
As an atheist I'm of something of an European mindset when it comes to
being a Bills fan. I don't give a hoot about the postseason except
insofar as, unlike the other afterlife, the NFL postseason demonstrably
exists.
Despite being decimated by injuries, the Bills acquitted themselves
honorably today. They lost a close game by the narrowest of margins (not
in terms of points, but in terms of being only one slightly more
accurate throw or more correct refereeing call away from victory).
They are almost certain to match their record of 6-10 last season and
likely to improve upon it. And they've already defeated the Patriots
this season! That was MY superbowl.
I'll be enthusiastically cheering them on next Sunday. The playoffs can
go to bugger-land for all I care.
Go Bills!

See this is why you got your ass kicked in the 1770's and 1780's!
On this side of the pond we like WINNING! And by winning, we mean
winning it all!!
No wonder you are letting the Yobs take over your country. We like our
"Yobs" with pepper spray!

How you beat Argentina during the Falklands dispute is beyond me. It
may had have something to do that their entire Navy was comprised of
three canoes and four inner tubes.
"Dude" is a generic term. Adding "Mr." to it implies some distinction.
Theretofore I am the ruler of the wealthy proletariat with money (Fuck
the poor proletariat they have nothing to offer me).
Thusly, I am considered royalty in this country. (Think Pippi but with
a penis) Many people are afraid to respond to my posts because they
feel frightened of my power. But alas I am a kind despot.

I gather you're offering those instructions on the basis of extensive
personal experience.
I've always been poor but also an elitist. The rich really ARE better
than me!

Despite that...it's my opinion they won because of Harrier jump jets.
