Trent Edwards + A suddenly stout defense = The real start of the season
First let The Answer preface this by saying he still thinks we aren't a playoff team. Still way too many injuries to overcome and a very difficult schedule still ahead. And The Answer believes that most 'realististic' Bills fans had to expect no better than a 1-2 start given the schedule's oppening 3 games. We should have beat Denver, but losses at Pit and NE were expected. What wasn't expected was Losmans disappointing play and all of the injuries on defense.
Now with that said fast forward to the beginning of The Young Gun era - this kid delivered big time against a playoff team from last year. Now The Answer expects a lot of the Losman homers to attack this immediatley and tell The Answer that the Jets are a horrible team as well, and that Losman would have had the same success against them - but the fact of the matter is that they are a pro team just like us. And Edwards did a lot of things yesterday that Losman simply isn't capable of doing given his limited football abilities at the pro level. With that said,The Answer also would like to add a few more monnikers to the rookies repetoire:
Trent "The Surgeon" Edwards - precision and poise were scary.
Trent "The Assassin" Edwards - quick release and delivery a beautiful ball into coverage.
Bottom Line - this kid isn't a flash in the pan, and he isn't playing like a rookie 3rd round pick - he's the franchise QB we've all waited for and 09/23/07 may very well be remembed as 'Vince Wolfork" day to Bills fans, kind of how 'Mo Lewis' day began something special in New England when Drew Bledsoe was injured.
Now moving on to the defense - they looked solid yesterday and The Answer truly believes we have something in Jabari Greer - he's always looked great in the preseason, but if we have any chance to go anywhere this year he's going to be a key reason why. The Answer can live with giving up 400 yards a game, but as long as we are holding teams to 20 points or less that is the key to having a chance - but this has to happen on the road as well, not just at home like it has in two contests at the ralph.
In conclusion a week from today will be the true measuring stick for this football team. If Edwards comes out on national television and leads to an upset win over what might be the best team in the NFL right now expect the playoff talk to start again......
