Pitarresi: Edwards injury bad news for Bills

You knew, didn’t you, Buffalo Bills fans, that when quarterback Trent Edwards was clocked by Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson on the third play of the game Sunday your team was in big trouble?

 

I was sitting in the press tent at the Turning Stone Resort Championship when I saw the play, and I told everyone within earshot that Edwards, who has been very, very good this season, was done for the day and the Bills might be, too. He was and they were.

 

J.P. Losman came in at quarterback, mostly played like a guy who was rusty and less than ready to go, and the defense failed to respond to the challenge. The Bills couldn’t get to Kurt Warner, who remains a very good quarterback when he is unpressured, and with his receivers, look out. It was a bad day all around.

 

The good thing for the Bills is that they have a bye this week. Maybe Edwards will be back, and maybe the defense will get things together by the time the Chargers arrive Oct. 19.
