    Edwards rides wave of success, puts Bills at the top of AFC East

    "Every game I have ever played," Edwards says, "high school, college and NFL, someone from my family has been there for me."

    Shelby, 31, is there for him at road games and home games — and at home, mere minutes from Ralph Wilson Stadium.

    "I'm here," she says, "to let him know he is loved."

    Most everyone in these parts lets Edwards know that these days. Few athletes inspire communal love like a winning quarterback in Buffalo. Jim Kelly took the Bills to four Super Bowls in the 1990s and remains a prince of the city. Jack Kemp won two American Football League titles in the 1960s and got elected to nine terms in Congress.

    Edwards, 24, is a long way from their sainted status. But he has the Niagara Frontier in a tizzy with his early-season play. The Bills are one of the NFL's surprise teams. They're alone in first place in the AFC East this far into a season for the first time since 1996, when Edwards was in seventh grade...

    Guard Brad Butler says Edwards led mostly by example last season: "That's why it works now that he's more vocal. He's the last guy in the weight room and the film room. He stands in the pocket and takes hits. Guys respect that and that's why they listen to him."

      Since both Edwards and Lynch are Obama guys, I'd assume Poz must be one, too then as they discussed politics over dinner at Trent's house.

          I wonder what Edwards sister looks like? Poz is probably getting more than just dinner at Trents house.
          I only drink when I'm alone or with others.

            That thought crossed my mind too. I also thought "Watch, Poz will be married to Trent's sister by next year".

              That's a good thing? Did they mean last guy to leave?
              I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

                  I love this quote from Turk:

                      I just hope she is better than the woman poz had on his arm when I ran into him. She seemed like a really uppity b***h

                            She knows me better than anyone else in this world," Edwards says. "It's just a relaxing, nice feeling to come home and have a conversation that doesn't have to do with how we're going to block the Oakland Raiders blitz schemes."

                            I thought he said they didn't prepare for Oakland blitzing????
                            I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.
