The term UNIQUE is used regularly in our lexicon, including derivatives such as fairly unique, pretty unique & very unique. It’s almost always used incorrectly.
What the Bills endured since leaving all our mouths agape with Allen’s endzone Pick to end our chance at victory last Sunday, qualifies as unique. ‘Snowmagedon2’ struck WNY, dumping 7’ of the white stuff on New Era field and the Orchard Park area. Too much, too fast, too late in the week to clear safe passageway for a game today. Even practice was forced into offsite zoom meetings. So it’s off to Detroit again to play a Home game against a Conference rival. Yes, been there, done that. What’s unique is the Bills are occupying the Visitors sideline and locker rooms by choice, because we’ll return there in 3 days to play ‘at’ the Lions on Thanksgiving. So opting for the visiting team accommodations is wise as it attempts to give familiarity to unfamiliar circumstances.
Allens’ pick did so much damage to the teams’ League positioning, it can’t be understated. PPeterson’s 2nd endzone interception dumped the Bills from Division AND Conference top spot to THIRD in our Division and the Sixth seed! Yes, our unicorn has been careless at times in the past, but never more impactful than this error. Suddenly, this upcoming 6 game stretch becomes our season, with 4 games against our Division and we’re already 0-2 here.
It may be ‘pre-Black Friday’ on the calendar, buts its MUST WIN time for the Bills, if our lofty hopes for this season can be realized.
