I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, I think the Arizona game is a distraction. I think if you want to point to a single game that ended any chance Edwards was going to develop into anything, look at the Cleveland Monday night game a few weeks later, and the gutless coaching display Jauron put on. Edwards had a terrible game but brought the Bills back. Late in the game he hit a 20-yard pass to get the Bills inside the 35-yard line... and Jauron worked his magic. Run, run, run, attempt a 50-yard field goal that missed. Cleveland went on to kick the game winner. Jauron robbed Edwards of an opportunity to redeem himself for a bad early game performance, and that was it for Edwards's career.
I never liked Edwards, from the start, really, but I still consider Jauron's coaching in that Cleveland game one of the most shameful things I've ever seen.
