uncle flap Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 NFL Pro 32 Power Rankings Interesting as this is the first year the Associated Press is branching out from the NCAA sports and publishing a NFL rankings poll. Also, it'll be interesting to see how closely the rankings will mirror the actual standings as the season progresses. What do you guys think of the panel? I don't put a lot of stock in preseason rankings, but during the season I'd like to see if players/coaches/non-voting media, make any reference to the polls. I can't remember a player or anyone commenting on the ESPN Power Rankings. Do you guys think this will be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplo848 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think that there's maybe one team (Carolina) that the argument could be made that they are better then us. I don't agree with that argument, but I can see it being made. However, I think that the argument could be made that the Bills are already better then multiple teams ranked higher then us.

paintmyhouse Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 19 is fair, 2nd highest ranked below .500 team from the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Sorry, any ranking that has the Jets ranked higher then the Bills is complete bull **** If that ranking is wrong then the rest of the rankings are junk too Edited July 31, 2012 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yes...LAST year. PTR How many games have the Bills won so far this year? The best way to get respect is to take it by winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season hasn't started so always play the "how many games have they won?" card. Ergo, since the Jets swept us last year they must still be awesome.

Bud Adams Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Denver at #10 is a joke. There sure are a lot of people drinking the Peyton Kool-Aid. Not here. BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we all have our fingers crossed that the Bills' off season moves have made them a contender, but I don't blame outsiders for being skeptical.

Zulu Cthulhu Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Denver at #10 is a joke. There sure are a lot of people drinking the Peyton Kool-Aid. Not here. BA They made the postseason and won a playoff game with a limited passing game. Manning is a tremendous improvement over tebow if he stays healthy. Their defense was pretty great down the stretch (except for the Bills game). 10 seems alright to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise just post last years draft order and be done. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Bears, Bengals, Chargers, Jets, Chiefs are the most prone teams to falling. I cannot see all 5 of those teams doing as well as expects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We'll see after the opening game? I already have my "Bills make me want to Shout" ready for the radio shows on Monday talking about the Bills pass rush, DB interceptions, and TEBOW chant in the 4th quarter. HEEHEE! Let the implosion begin in New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete This Account Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) yep, this was something that we, at the AP, have been working on for a little while. like all AP Polls, i have no involvement in it. these are all national folks who are involved, and it looks like we've got a pretty good bunch. and as always, the poll is good for discussion. if you ask me, i'd probably have the Bills at between 17-19 currently because they haven't proven anything yet. should be curious how this all works out. jw ps: it's supposed to come out every Tuesday.

Progress progress, Bill's no longer in the cellar and have risen to the just about the middle of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA The AFC as a whole is not very strong, and Denver's run was no joke. The Broncos will be contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
