Buffalo may have sported their throwback uniforms when they stepped on the field to face the New York Jets Sunday afternoon. But from the opening kickoff, the Bills demonstrated that they’re clearly the same old team.
The Bills were outplayed, outhustled, outhit, outcoached, out-anything else you want to say as they were embarrassed by the Jets, 38-14 in front of their own home crowd.

But while a team featuring struggling quarterback David Garrard was expected to make a move for Edwards, the Jets were not. They have a young star quarterback in Mark Sanchez as well as veteran backups Mark Brunell and Kellen Clemens.

It’s my favorite time of the week— my week four edition of “Know Your Enemy”. This week, I asked five random questions to Daniel Krieg of the New York Jets-based website, “Rex Sanchez“.
Of course, you can check out his site to see my responses to some of the questions he asked me regarding the Bills. Be warned; it’s not pretty.
Without further ado.
1) Mark Sanchez has six touchdown passes in his first three games on the season, what has been the biggest difference between his rookie season and this year?
