Buccaneers secondary expects Bills to attack in same way as Cowboys - St. Petersburg Times
"I was pretty impressed with the way the Cowboys attacked — their receivers were making big plays, and that's what we kind of need in our offense," Edwards said. "I feel like we have some players out wide that are capable of doing that. It's a matter of protecting up front and being able to deliver the ball accurately like Tony (Romo) did last week.

9. Watching Edwards on Monday night against the Patriots reminded me of why the quarterback rating system and its emphasis on TD-to-INT ratio is useless. That kind of stat encourages "game managers" like Edwards, but doesn't show how content the under-manned New England defense was to give him the underneath stuff. The Bills' inability to land any kind of offensive knockout punch kept the Pats in a game they should have lost.
