All right, so the Bills love their head coach. If we're to believe the players, they rallied around the embattled Dick Jauron on Sunday, coming from behind for an emotional, 30-23 victory that prevented an ordinary Broncos team from clinching a playoff spot. The Bills were forced to celebrate in Denver because of the weather back home. Too bad. I'm sure there were lots of giddy Buffalo fans who were ready to brave the elements and rush to the airport to greet the latest Jauron team to make its heroic run to 7-8.
Sorry, but I don't care if they love Jauron. It doesn't matter if Trent Edwards thinks Jauron is the best boss he ever had, or that he loves him to death. What really matters, in the big picture, is that Edwards played that way.
This was a big win, not because it might have helped Jauron, or because it gives the Bills a chance to finish .500 for the first time in four years. It was significant because Edwards got back on his feet and played like the quarterback we saw in the first six games of the season.
After that dreadful, depressing run of seven losses in eight games, fans were desperate for an uplifting sign, for any positive development to take into next season. Edwards was the obvious candidate.
It was Edwards' clutch play, after all, that had everyone imagining big things for this Bills team. We got ahead of ourselves. We allowed a few comeback wins to obscure major shortcomings in personnel and coaching. Because if you have the quarterback in the NFL, you have hope.
