The Bills Might Have Found Their Quarterback
Filed under: Bills, AFC East, Breaking News
Evidently, Trent Edwards aims to keep the Bills starting quarterback job. After coming in for an injured J.P. Losman during the first quarter of last week’s loss to the Patriots, the Bills’ 2007 third-round pick got his first NFL start today against the Jets.
All the rookie did today was complete 22 of 28 passes for 234 yards, threw one really big late fourth-quarter touchdown, and had a first-half interception. So in 60 minutes, Edwards has exceed Losman’s two-plus games output to begin the season. Head coach Dick Jauron hasn’t said whether Losman will keep his job when he finally returns from the knee injury, but you have to think that if Edwards continues to impress, he’ll be the guy.
Of course, there is the little issue of finishing games — Buffalo led by 10 with less than seven minutes to go in the game, and New York had a chance to tie it on their last drive. But whatever — the Bills’ defense held up (yay, Terrence McGee!), the Bills’ offense showed up, and the Bills’ fans finally have something to celebrate. It only took four weeks.
