Why would anyone pick the Bills? The Ryan brothers are two of the most overrated coaches in NFL history, right along with Jeff Fisher. Rex Ryan is too emotional to engender any kind of consistent success, plus his 'rah rah' act wears thin quickly with professionals, and Rob Ryan hasn't had a good defense in forever*.
*Rob Ryan's rankings with points and yards as a defensive coordinator (lower number = better, it's in a range 1-32):
Dude's record shows a mediocre-to-terrible DC, plus regression almost everywhere he's gone (had 1 good year in Oakland, but then got worse each year after that, got better in Cleveland, made Dallas worse, made New Orleans worse).
Just like their dad, the Ryans are all bark and no bite, and their records illustrate that. Rex did well during the start of his tenure with the Jets, but once the league adjusted to his schemes, he couldn't adjust. The same thing is happened in Buffalo, albeit with an accelerated timetable. He actually made Buffalo's defense worse than it was since taking over (including spectacularly mishandling Mario Williams), and has compounded his idiocy by hiring his buffoon brother, the guy who got run out of town in New Orleans because he was beyond terrible.
And just in the last 48-72 hours, they fired their offensive coordinator, a guy who somehow coaxed Tyrod Taylor into becoming a serviceable QB. Because he was obviously the problem, not the Ryans.
The Bills are a trainwreck. Barring a miracle, they will be one all season long. No one should pick them for anything outside of "Coaches to be 1st at the buffet table."

Ok great, can you tell me what the Redskins, or better yet, what Danny's problem is. Seems the Skins are in the same boat.

I heard the Ravens defense was horrible. I didn't get to see the game. Glad they won, but also glad I missed it. I would have been yelling at the tv.

I once watched a game and Rice was running towards the end zone and all I could yell was "Run mother fucker, run!" It was hilarious.

I don't follow the NFC East very closely, but from afar, it seems like a combination of:
Shitty owner
Yet-to-be-proven coach
Aging WRs, some of whom have had injury problems
Mediocre defense (you know they're going to give up at least 20/game)
Inconsistent QB, who seems to have issues with decisiveness/reading the play
They won the division last year because of Romo's injury, Chip Kelly's insanity, and Tom Coughlin's senility. Early indications are that they'll be a 7-9, 6-10 team, which is about where I pegged them before the season started. The NFC East is a carousel, and the Giants are the most improved team (revamped defense, healthy Victor Cruz, the rookie Shepard looks like the real deal, and no Coughlin is addition by subtraction). I doubt the Redskins even sniff the playoffs.

Good to know. I didn't pay any attention to the off season or the pre-season, so my strategy has boiled down to when in doubt, take the home team. It hasn't paid off so well.

Me too.
Bradford looked amazing! I just hope he can hold up without serious injury; there's only so much more of that this team can take.
AP's knee is a huge blow, but I'm trying to see the silver lining, here. With him out and with Bradford playing as well as he did, other teams aren't likely to stack the line to stuff the run virtually every play, so maybe the Vikings will be able to get some run production out of the backup RBs going forward. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyway, we're off to a great start, despite it all. Skol!
