Here's what we have learned in Week 4. The Bills established that they can lose to bad teams just as handily as they lose to good teams. The Saints are a good team. The Patriots are making adjustments, and are still good. The Jets are the Jets, but won't be fully the Jets for a while yet. It's going to be a long season for Cowboy's fans.
I watch the Bills and continue to conclude that this is mostly a coaching problem. It's a respectable D-- not great, but better than the scoreboard suggests. I actually like the O-line. Fred Jackson has been a pleasant surprise; and Josh Reed has been solid. TO has been on his best behavior, but it is becoming increasing obvious that his chief skill was in getting open. He really doesn't seem to have great hands, and now that he's dropped a half step or so he's having a problem. Lynch looks like he's at or near his sell-by date. Edwards would be a good enough QB on a different team. It's irritating that they are so very bad. I don't see watching another game for a while, and I like watching the NFL.
