    Article: Edwards magic moment could define his season

    http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/220297.html?imw=Y


    LANDOVER, Md. — A cold autumn rain was falling at FedEx Field, along with the Bills' chances. Trent Edwards sat quietly on the bench, hoping the defense would stop the Redskins and give him one last chance. He knew he'd be out of timeouts, with maybe a minute to spare and a lot of field to negotiate. But he believed, inside, that it wasn't over.

    "Mentally, stay in this game," Edwards told himself. "You still feel comfortable. You're confident in the game plan. You have playmakers at wide receiver. Stay in it and see what happens."

    Sure enough, the defense held the Redskins and the Buffalo offense got the ball back at its 22-yard line with 56 seconds left. Edwards threw to Fred Jackson in the flat for 5 yards, and the clock kept ticking. Then he found Roscoe Parrish for 10 yards. Parrish got out of bounds at the 37, stopping the clock with 27 seconds left.

    Now the Bills needed the big play. They needed Edwards to make the sort of throw that his critics have been waiting for his entire rookie season. Not some conservative, check-down throw, but a big one. Down the middle of the field, with the game on the line............

      Edwards can't throw the deep ball.

        The kid can play and he's been nothing but impressive off the field as well. Why this board is struggling with that is just mind boggling to me.

        The gu is 4-1 and there are people trying to argue that he wasn't as good as Peyton Manning during his rookie season. Hell he'd be 5-0 if we had figured out how to cover an onsides kick.

        This has been a low point for me on this board considering we are in the playoff hunt after 12 weeks into the season and we have an exciting rookie QB that has the potential to be the face of this franchise.

            A kick ass noodle!
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
            It was all             true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can             mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                I was just watching the replay of that throw, I'll admit it wasn't a Brett Farve bullet but it really didn't look like he threw that with a noodle for an arm. It was a tight spiral and right on the money. Reed didn't have to reach for it and it wasn't at his feet.

                  i hate to rain on the party since I was very happy with his performance on Sunday but the same thing was said about Losman after the Texans game last year. So, yes, it took Edwards less time than Losman, which is significant, but one game isn't a turning point unless there are more games like it afterwards.

                        1) The Redskins are a far better than the Texans, especially on defense.

                        2) We would have been blown out yesterday with Losman given the circustances of this game.

                        3) How long did it take Losman to get to 4 career wins?

                          I am in agreement that Edward's achievement was more significant than Losman's. All I am saying (and I realize its a "captain obvious" statement) is that lets hold off on "career defining moments" until the career comes into better focus.

                            Again, most in the media saw it differently:

                            "The biggest was Edwards’ completion to Reed. The Bills took the field at their own 22 with 56 seconds left and no timeouts. Edwards hit passes of 5 and 10 yards to move to the 37 with 27 seconds left. Reed ran a deep turn-in route from an outside position, and Edwards hit him with a laser strike in perfect stride to the Redskins’ 33."

                              Edwards has a good arm people!!! Not a rocket but easily as good as Bradys(mind you I am talking strickly arm strength for comparisons sake)
