Starting 3 for 6
In the MNF game between Buffalo and Cleveland last night Bills QB Trent Edwards started out 3 for 6. That’s 3 interceptions in his first 6 passing attempts. Ouch.
Those are pretty unbelievable numbers, but the game stats only get stranger from there. The Bills really don’t have anyone else to go with (unless you consider JP Losman to be a good option) and so they left Edwards in the game. He finished the night with 148 passing yards (averaging 5.7 yards per attempt), went 16-26 overall, and even rushed for a touchdown. This is actually better in most categories than Brady Quinn of Cleveland who had an abysmal 39% completion rate and only managed 185 yards on 36 pass attempts (5.1 yards per attempt).
Quinn managed to do just enough for Cleveland to a win a game that was eerily similar to several others that they found new and innovative ways to lose this season. In fact they would have lost this one too except for Buffalo kicker Ryan Lindell going “Wide Right” at the end of the game.
The only bright spot in the game was Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson who pretty much carried Cleveland on his backby making 5 of 5 field goal attempts!
I don’t care what anyone says, Cleveland is not a good team. And even though they won the game last night, they haven’t turned anything around on an awful season. They simply got a lucky win.
Buffalo isn’t very good either.
