3. The Redskins are 3-1! Never would have dreamed it!
4. The Lions are 4-0! That in itself is not so surprising but how they come from behind...way behind!
5. The Bungles are 2-2! Questioned whether they would win 2 games all season!

The Bills don't make this list?? A .500 season would have been lofty in August now 10 wins could be achieved if injuries allow. Honorable mention to the Raiders but Jason will take care of any hope by years end. The rest of the list is on target IMO.

Any team who loses to the Bengals doesn't deserve a spot on a list of anything positive.

Yeah thats certainly the way to do it. Draw your conclusions off of the last game in the NFL.

Dude, it's the Bengals. They're bad. If the Bills were what we thought they were, they wouldn't lose to the Bengals.

It was a huge let down spot for the Bills yesterday after beating the Pats (for the first time in like 18 games) the week before.

No doubt about it. Yesterday could have also been a huge letdown for the Lions, but they figured out a way to win, even if it were Tony Romo-induced. Either way, obviously the way the Bills are going is positive, but good teams figure out ways to win that game yesterday. They'll live and learn.

They're better than everyone thought. They've played great defense all year. Held 3 of their 4 opponents under 300 yards including the prolific Buffalo offense. It's becoming evident this team can play D.
