No. Jews were required when killing an animal for food, to drain all of its blood. They were not to eat blood. That is what Genesis 9 verse 4 is about. If you will look at Genesis 9:3, God told Noah that he could eat "every moving thing that liveth, as well as the green herb. So obviously the very next verse would not be saying he cannot eat meat.
