Profootballtalk has Bills 28th in preseason power ranking


Recommended Posts

Kirby already did.... 6-10 is normally in the bottom 10, but not bottom 5.... but im not losing sleep over that gap, because really, whats the difference there. its on the outside looking to prove they deserve to get in either way - which is fair.

I agree that 24 is probably more realistic than 28 but also that the difference is meaningless.

 

People need to look at the Bills from the perspective of the outside world: 6-10, minus two of its best young stars on defense, plus a rookie WR who will only be as effective as the unproven QB can make him. That's what the world outside WNY sees and will continue to see until the Bills do better than 6-10.

Until EJ and the Hackett prove they belong and that they can win, the Bills wont see any true love. Not really surprising. What is surprising is realizing how bad the bottom half of the AFC has become. I remember about 7 - 11 years agao, the same was true for the NFC. But still.......wow. I am interested to see where the Jets land. Hate to say it, but they have quietly stockpiled a lot of good young talent on defense.

I see the Bills around 20th or so, as the Bills defense still should be a top 10 unit.

 

The Buc's might field a better defense, but Lovie usually stinks it up on offense. new coaching staff

The Dolphins are still in disarray, new HC after this year?

The Jets still in disarray with Geno, and no real run game. new HC after this year?

Dallas #32 in yards allowed, same DC and lost their best pass rusher. new HC after this year?

Tomlin might get canned at the end of this year

Sam Bradford really? 30th on offense last year

Houston, Fitz....defense should be better tho. new coaching staff

Detroit, new coaching staff. questionable defense

 

I'm sorta optimistic about this season. I don't see playoffs. However, I do see a winning season 8-8, or maybe a 9-7 season.

Winning solves all of this. Problem is, no one expects the team to win anymore. Like, its over. Team needs to change the perception, that will effect the reality. Win some d--n games, and after the "well, that is an aberration" and "well, Buffalo sucks in general" followup negativity subsides, then they will get the respect and rankings. Takes time and wins. Lots of wins.

 

Well, yea. That obviously answers the question of not having a proven HC or qb
