The Buffalo Bills fell to 3-1 after a 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 4, trimming Buffalo's AFC East division lead to a single game. Following the defeat, writer David Keech evaluated fan and media reactions, arguing that the Bills are neither a broken mess nor an infallible elite squad bound for a historic regular season record.

Keech noted that Buffalo suffered significant injury setbacks during the contest, including absences and exits for Christian Benford, DJ Moore, and Ed Oliver. With upcoming road matchups against the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders, the article contends that Buffalo's season trajectory sits between the two extreme viewpoints as defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard and coach Joe Brady adjust.
