Jauron lost that game for Buffalo.
Instead of defending the sideline with CBs at all cost (keep safeties way back)
Buffalo GAVE Dallas the yards they needed for the winning FG.
All they needed to do was use th dime defense and keep 2 players pinned along the sidelines with safeties deep middle.
There wasn't time for anything in the middle of the field.
Jauron and his coaches blew it.

I may sound like a homer here, but the ref calls were WILDLY in favor of the Bills(i.e. TO was pushed out on a sideline catch but was ruled incomplete, McBriar was run into but no call, a Dallas player was held on the long kickoff return by McGee, the TO "spike" where all he did was toss the ball away, etc).
Overall-the officiating has gotten VERY bad in recent years-you always wonder if something fishy is going on.
I saw a lot of bad calls go against Buffalo. What about the no flags on the horse collar tackle and late hit out of bounds? When Buffalo had just been penalized 15 yards on Dallas's prior possession for grabbing the back of a helmet.
There was a convenient holding penalty that wiped out a play to the Cowboys 11 yard line. The uncalled horse collar and the convenient 5 yard instead of fifteen yard face mask certainly helped too. As did a convenient ball placement of several close first downs. And another holding call as well.
But in the final analysis if Edwards had simply thrown the ball away when down close on third and a bunch, and simply kicked a FG, they would have won.
Still Edwards as a raw rookie appeared to be unflappable with size and a god accurate arm.
That is the recipe for a pretty good starting QB with some experience. After seeing what he did against the Pats, Jets and Cowboys, the Bills have found a QB.
