GG Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm just saying if we are the worst or second worst team in the NFL according to the guys, why do we never draft that high? It's not like experts to exaggerate or make flip judgments. PTR It's plainly obvious what you're saying. The Bills don't get enough credit for being a perennial bottom 10 team by being treated as a perennial bottom 5 team. Oh, the injustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Funny how they keep saying we are 2nd or 3rd worst in the league but we always seem to draft 8-11. PTR Exactly. We can't even be the best at being the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hard to disagree with a low ranking from any media source at this point. Really, other than Spiller and Jackson, and perhaps Stevie, who else has shown anything on offense? And last time I saw our D, it was having a historically bad season, which was worse than the terrible season it had the year before. Too many question marks to justify a much higher pre-season ranking. GO BILLS!!! This is correct. But, if Pettine can delivery half of expectations with the talent he has, it would only take a couple of surprise performances on the O to turn it all around. think the QB's and receivers mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a thrill out of seeing the Bills at rock bottom. PTR For the umpteenth time, I don't care about the power rankings because they are meaningless. If posters want to highlight the latest ranking, more power to them. What I am getting tired of this year is your continued snarkiness to mock people who say something negative about the franchise. So in effect, I'm playing the mirror of you in this season's series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We sucked last year. We have a new Head Coach who is not a proven commodity. Even when he was a good OC with the Saints, he was working under an offensive mastermind. Our DC is also unproven for similar reasons. We haven't named a starting QB yet but either choice is unproven in the NFL. I understand why the preseason power polls rank us near the bottom. But let's dream... What if Pettine is as great as his resume (Top Five in the NFL every year as a DC)? What if Marrone turns out to be the winner his supporters say he will be? What if Hackett, his protege, turns out to be an offensive wunderkind? What if EJ lives up to his potential and our high hopes? So, while I get the polls, I find more reason to hope this year than I have in a looong time. Marrone, Pettine, Hackett, and EJ all might be a lot better than the guys we had in those key positions last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's plainly obvious what you're saying.

bobblehead Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 With a new QB, lots of rookies and new coaching, you really can't rate the team any higher at this point in time. All will change soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well we did look very good today and gave reason to think we are at least as good as last year. It's only one preseason game but I wold put us at nineteen or twenty Ok. Biased maybe but there were lots of good signs in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
