All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Was chasing down the Buc after the Jackson fumble. How many quarterbacks in this league do you see doing that? Not many. The guy wants to win. I like it.
Oh, and that dropped T.O bomb was gorgeous. Until the drop of course...
Edwards was inconsistent, but overall I think it was a good game for him. He needs to get the ball out faster. Either they're not (imo) calling enough slants, quick outs, etc., or Edwards isn't reading them very well, or the opponent is covering those kinds of plays.
He threw the deep ball well (except the INT), and was accurate with zip on the ball. Despite holding onto the ball too long, he made good decisions with his passes. Edwards was decent. I was frustrated, but at the end of the game (when I'm not as emotionally involved), he looked pretty good.
I was glad to see that the Bills could go long if needed. They didn't just stick with the screens and dump-offs just because they worked in one game.

I don't know if I'd say he was inconsistent or if that is the natural ebb and flow of the game. I need to go back and watch but I think he may have only had a handful of bad plays. We'll know for sure this week because we are going to need to trade punches with NO...ugh

i saw edwards get more confident as teh game progressed... Although I did feel he got tentative after takeing a few shots... at one point on second down he took a shot, was slow to get up and it was 3rd and long and it seem to me that AVP did not feel trent was all there and they ran a semi draw to jackson and got nowhere....anyone else remember that series?
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

I can think of 3 really bad throws, the INT, one in the 4th quarter that should have been an INT and the one where he went long to Evans down the sideline straight after Owens' drop.
I can think of about a dozen passes that were delivered bang on the money with real pace, making sure his guy was the only one with a play on the ball.
Edwards had 3 good quarters, the 1st, 2nd and 4th, and a poor 3rd quarter (though the offense in general was abysmal in the 3rd quarter). He's got a lot of potential, but this year he has to start realising it fully and I don't think he's quite there yet.
Oh, and I loved him lowering the shoulder and punishing the safety at the end of one of his runs.

Losman did the same thing a few years ago. The difference is JP actually tackled the guy he was chasing.
A QB should never lean into a hit with his throwing shoulder, and Trent's done it twice in two games. Gives me a heart attack.
There's tough, and then there's stupid.
