Ohhh, 23-0 is such a beautiful score, especially when the Bills are on the winning side! The Bills recorded their first shut out since 2006 when they demolished the Redskins at home in Toronto this week.
Games with no points on one side of the board can be boring, yes, but this particular game was anything but dull. In fact, it's the first time I actually KNEW we would win the game and I've never felt so relaxed. It was amazing. I even reclined on the couch for a bit instead of kneeling in front of the TV (or at the bar) a hyper jumble of bipolar energy.
This win was critical for so many reasons. My sanity. The Bills' morale (and record). To sustain our tied position with New England in the division. To keep everyone who likes to not Billieve in the Bills off my back. The fact that the Bills pulled it off (and in such a big way!) is great (and necessary) momentum for going into Sunday's game against the Jets.
So what sealed the deal?
- Fitzmagic. Fitz certainly earned his keep during the first game under his extended contract with the team, recording 262 yards and two TDs.
The Redskins tried to put up a fight, with QB John Beck finding his way down the field and into Bills territory a few times and London Fletcher (oh how I miss him!) popping up everywhere, but it just wasn't enough. Wow, it's so odd to say that so often this season! I love it.
GO BILLS!!!
