Bills quarterback Trent Edwards requires further evaluation after sustaining the second concussion of his NFL career. The starter’s status is uncertain for the game at Carolina this weekend.

Coach Dick Jauron said Monday that Edwards was healthy enough to travel home with the team after he was knocked out in the second quarter of a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets on Sunday. “We’ll take that day to day and see how he comes out of this thing,” Jauron said.

Bills players are off until Wednesday.

Edwards also sustained a concussion in a loss at Arizona on Oct. 5.

A day after watching arguably the worst professional football game ever played, the Buffalo Bills 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, along came two teams that restored my love for the game.


The New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins slugged it out on Monday Night Football, the Jets clinging to a 13-10 lead after three quarters. Then in a blaze of short-circuiting scoreboard bulbs, the teams erupted for a combined 35 points over the final 15 minutes.
The Dolphins won 31-27.

“Oh yeah, I remember this,” I muttered. “The NFL really can be exciting.”

I thought of something else, too.

About just how far the AFC East Division has run away from the Bills, even further it seems than last season when Buffalo couldn’t win a single game against its chief rivals.

An offense’s job is to score points. Failing that, it should at least control the ball long enough to give its defense a chance to rest.

The Buffalo Bills are having a hard time doing either.

Heading into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, the Bills are 23rd in the NFL in scoring average and last in time of possession.

With Terrell Owens teaming with Lee Evans at wide receiver and Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, the Bills expected to have a no-huddle offense that creates scoring opportunities and wears down defenses.

Don’t be surprised if the traffic around HSBC Arena is heavier after games this season. Why? Because all those folks who used to clear out during blowouts will have to stick around for the uncertain conclusions.

The opening few days of the NHL season featured overtime drama, shootout excitement and tense final minutes. In other words, it was exactly what most people expected.

“You look at all the games and all the scores so far, I think this league is so tight, it’s so close, that you can get outshot badly and you can still win a game, goaltending can be big, special teams — there’s a lot of different ways — but there’s not much that separates one team from another now,” Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said.

The Sabres learned that lesson in their opening-night loss Saturday. Despite outshooting the Montreal Canadiens, 35-17, they sustained a 2-1 setback when the Habs received a fortuitous carom in overtime.

Through four games, the numbers aren’t pretty for the Buffalo Bills offense. They’re especially grotesque when it comes to third downs.

Sunday in Miami, the Bills converted just 1 of 11 chances on third down, their worst performance since going 0 of 7 in a 29-6 loss to the New England Patriots on Nov. 14, 2004.

Going back to last season’s loss to Miami in Toronto, the Bills have gone 2 for 21 on third downs in the last two games against the Dolphins. The team ranks 30th in the NFL in third-down conversions, with a success rate of 23.4 percent.

“It’s clear when you only convert on one third down, the odds of you having a very good day are very low,” Bills coach Dick Jauron said. “We’ve got to get a lot better there.”

Drew Stafford’s mild concussion makes his status iffy for Saturday night’s opener so coach Lindy Ruff tinkered with an interesting top line in practice Wednesday: Derek Roy centering Thomas Vanek and Tim Connolly.

Any look at the Sabres’ preseason depth chart has shown Roy and Connolly as the team’s top two centers but both can play wing as well.

“Timmy and ‘Van’ are two great players, fun to play with and smart on the ice,” Roy said. “We think alike, all three guys. It really doesn’t matter who’s at center. At some point, it’s whoever gets down low first when you get in the zone and the others then fill their spots.”

Ruff noted how Vanek had success playing some stints on right wing Sunday in Toronto, when he scored two goals in Buffalo’s 7-6 win.

Star NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens, who has been known to stir up controversy, is apparently trying to turn over a new leaf with his new team in Buffalo.

He’s staying mum on whether he has any concerns about the Bills’ offense and his role on the team.

“I think over the years that’s always gotten me in trouble and created some sort of division in the locker room with guys on the team,” Owens said after practice on Wednesday. “I try to do the right thing now. And even when I try to do the right thing, it’s not the right thing. I’m in a situation where I’m in a no-win situation.”

When asked about having his 185-game reception streak snapped in last weekend’s 27-7 loss to New Orleans, T.O. said, “Guys, all I can say is that I’m working hard, we’re working hard as a team.”
