ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.–Donte Whitner is a confident player, one who has the conviction to say what he believes and is fearless in backing it up.
So when the Bills strong safety proclaims that Buffalo is going to make the playoffs this season, he does it without hesitation.
"It's a guarantee. You can't take it back and I won't take it back," Whitner said during training camp, repeating the proclamation he's been making to most anyone who cares to listen.
"It's on me and I'm not afraid. I'm not backing down. So at the end of the year, when we're going into that 17th game, it'll feel good."
Of course, Whitner knows what he's getting into, and aware that Buffalo hasn't been to the playoffs in eight seasons, since Rob Johnson and former CFL star Doug Flutie were embroiled in a quarterback controversy. It's the longest drought in franchise history, and tied with Detroit as the NFL's second-longest active drought, one season fewer than Arizona.
The Bills are ready to back him up.
