Billistic Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Edwards was sloppy but effective enough to win against the pathetic Seahawks (1 TD pass, to Royal, the other was by Moorman to Denney), Jags (1 TD, to Hardly), Raiders (1 TD, to Parrish), Rams (1 TD, to Evans), Chargers (1 TD, to Evans), the Thundering Chiefs (2 TDs, to Reed and Schouman), and Broncos (zero TD). I guess you could say that he spread the ball around. Also, those are some horrific opponents. Are the presence of Terrell Owens and the shiny, new look no-huddle offense really going to turn Edwards from a Ford Pinto to a Acura TL? I'll believe it when I see it.

Sisyphean Bills Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The season is riding on Edwards. He's going to have to take to the new offense like a duck to water and make it work even if Belichick writes a recipe on opening day on how to defeat it. He's going to have to manage behind a highly suspect OL. He'll have to cope with Marshawn "Do Bongs" Lynch being out the month of September, which will delay his integration with the brand spanking new line. He'll have to manage the no huddle to keep the undersized Bills defense from being worn down to a nub over the season. He'll have to overcome dubious coaching decisions and the TO sideshow circus. Basically, we're depending on him to go from a young injury-prone QB that has shown next to nothing in the red zone to take a ginormous step up and become the unquestioned leader of this franchise and will his team to victories.

Who was opposite of Evans last year that the opposing defense had to worry about? No one. And really an Acura TL? I look forward to a much better year from Edwards. Especially once Lynch gets back from suspension. Let's face it, the Bills have weapons Edwards needs time. Everything relies on his protection.

Arkady Renko Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thankfully, this isn't fantasy football. It does not matter how many TDs he scores. What matters is how many TDs the offense scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billistic Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thankfully, this isn't fantasy football. It does not matter how many TDs he scores. What matters is how many TDs the offense scores. So true: The top team for rushing TDs was the Panthers with 30. The worst were the Browns and Bengals with 6. The Bills were right in the middle with 16. I guess that's some kind of comfort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually watch the game or that TD pass to Evans? That was an outstanding throw (and a great catch) in a day filled with them. Edwards put it where only Evans could get it. Who cares if it was a 2-yard TD? They all count. You don't go 25 of 30 for 261 yards by accident; it was Edwards' best game as a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched every play, and enjoyed the game immensely. It was, however, NOT an showcase for the Bills passing game. Edwards managed the game adequately, the defense was very good, and the Chargers turned the ball over. The thread was about the shortcomings of the Bills passing game, especially lack of TDs. Are you arguing that Edwards was like Dan Fouts in 2008? Dan Fouts and Air Coryell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
