‘"Those kind of decisions are never easy," Gailey said. "He [Edwards] gave us everything he had. We just felt like were not going to go back that direction at the next juncture. We want to work with Brian Brohm."’

Brohm’s preparation won’t change
‘"This is a very ruthless business," Brohm said. "The GMs and coaches are trying to put the best players on the field to give their team the best opportunity to win. And it’s just a reminder that each and every day out there on the practice field you need to go out there and perform and do your best and every day try to put your best foot forward and show the coaches what you have."’
Patriots kept ’em guessing
‘"We were able to kind of change it up and kind of catch them in some smaller-guy sets with our big guys out there, or vice versa, and really just take advantage of some mismatches," said Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker.’
No room to breath in AFC East
‘Fortunately for New England, the Tom Brady-led offense could not be stopped. If the Bills’ defense had put up any resistance, the Patriots’ winning streak in the series would not have reached 14 games.’
Coaches realize the error of their ways
‘There was something lacking in Edwards — a genuine belief in his ability to make the courageous throw in the face of failure. To be a franchise quarterback, you need to have a certain swagger, an unfailing, if sometimes unwarranted, faith in your ability to rise to the big moment. Jim Kelly had that quality in spades.’
Bills release Trent Edwards
‘In a competition with Fitzpatrick it took Chan Gailey and Friends five months to pick Edwards as their starter. Three weeks later they decide he’s not even good enough to be on the team. Go figure.’
Edwards’ release shocking
‘Edwards looked awful in his two starts this season, although not really any worse than he had for the previous season and a half. A new head coach, a new staff and some new personnel around him didn’t change a thing about the quarterback dubbed locally as Captain Checkdown. And it apparently took quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick leading a 30-point output during a loss to New England on Sunday to conclude that Edwards was more a cause of the Bills’ problems than a symptom.’
