I have been hard on Trent Edwards. However, the guy played lights out last night, in terms of what we need from him. He only had one bad throw that I saw, eluded the rush and scrambled a few times, had some key third down passes perfectly thrown that were dropped, didn't turn the ball over, seemed to be comfortable in the no-huddle, and overall seemed very focused. It's amazing what happens when the Pats go from a 3-4 last year to a 4-3 this year. All of a sudden Trent played a really nice game against a good team.
Unfortunately, the team overall doesn't know how to win against good teams. It's an ugly trend. At least it was the first game instead of mid to late in the season when the team is already behind the eight ball, record-wise.
I like what I saw from Edwards and AVP. I also like what I saw from our young offensive line overall. There were some mistakes, but they scrapped toe-to-toe with, in my opinion, the best team in the NFL. I hope it continues.
Right now, the Bills defensively look like a clone of Indy. Not an awesome defense, but good enough to keep the team in most games. The offense needs to catch up to be somewhat like Indy's offense for this team to really take the next step.
