“The Jets are feeling confident heading into their clash with the Titans”
The Ravens were confident when they went up against the Giants last week, too.

Umm, ya, Felix Jones has returned to practice BUT he seems to have injured his toe in his rehab work from his hammy injury during the bye week and now they don’t really know when he will play. Maybe for the Pittsburgh game.

Ray Lewis also thinks that little Troy Smith guy should be starting instead of Flacco so not much value in his opinion.

Trent Edwards seemed to greatly enjoy the spotlight when the Bills started 5 - 1 and he was being referred to by some as an elite quarterback. He had plenty of time to appear on several talk shows and bask in the glory. Now that he is the primary reason why the Bills have lost four consecutive games, he no longer seems to enjoy sharing his feelings. Against the Browns the Bills O-line played well, their defense played great, they were outstanding on returning and covering kicks and Marshawn Lynch had his best game of the year. However, due to the pathetic performance of Trent Edwards, the Bills lose the game when Rian Lindell misses a 47 yard field goal attempt into the wind! You are right Trent, no reason for you to feel bad about your recent performances and the fact that you have cost your team an almost certain shot at the playoffs!
