You all should stop hating on the Bills. And Kraft in particular should stop his targeted abuse of this small market team. Without Bills' owner Ralph Wilson's vision and generosity there likely wouldn't be an AFC, nor a Patriots team at all.
"He (Ralph Wilson) was a guiding force in AFL policies that ensured success, such as gate and television revenue sharing; in 1961, with the rival Oakland Raiders in financial difficulty, Wilson loaned the club $400,000 and also would be willing to loan money to Billy Sullivan of the Patriots. Wilson helped keep those franchises afloat, likely saving the entire league from folding. In November 1963, Wilson lobbied successfully to have American Football League games postponed the Sunday after JFK's assassination, while NFL games went on uninterrupted."

You owe your very existence to some cheap booze and a bad decision.
