26CornerBlitz Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Season of change: Free agency shakes up hierarchy By Elliot Harrison - NFL Media analyst Lamar Miller signed with the Texans. Bruce Irvin inked a deal with the Raiders. Chandler Jones was traded to the Cardinals. How does the frenzy affect the NFL pecking order? Elliot Harrison weighs in. RANK 14 BILLS Guessing Bills fans are upset receiver Chris Hogan won't be running around Ralph Wilson Stadium this year. Or maybe they're more upset that he will -- for the Evil Empire. Seriously, Hogan joining the AFC East-ruling Patriots would be like Chewbacca fitting his hairy pits into an XXXL stormtrooper outfit (that option cannot be unlocked in "Star Wars: Battlefront"). You know what? That's economics. Football economics -- a course I plan to teach at Adams College this summer -- dictates that teams must pay to retain their offensive lines. That's where pro football is won. If only the Browns were paying attention, say, in this instance, or this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I thought it was fair to generous in the spot they placed us. Let's hope all of these analysts who are placing so much stock in Whaley's ability to draft a bunch of Rex's guys and miraculously pull it all together.

YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Juuuust outside the playoffs/top 12. Welp good thing we don't take the field for 6 months, eh. Much can change. Also NFL power rankings as useless as Mario Williams but I look at them anyway. Edited March 18, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 That's pretty generous. They must be expecting better production from the defense. 2 Ryan's hopefully are better than 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's pretty generous. They must be expecting better production from the defense. 2 Ryan's hopefully are better than 1 double the pregnancy double the laughs double the shenanigans double the trouble double the baby bubble.....this will either destroy the defense or build it back into a monster.....he coached the defense very well in the last 2 games....considering we were missing half our starters and played 2 ****ty teams, well the jets werent ****ty they just played ****ty against us both times.

papazoid Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Patriots, Panthers at the top of post-free-agency Power Rankings 21.

Beef Jerky Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Why do they talk about Hogan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Why do they talk about Hogan? Because the Pat's signed him. If he went to Miami or San Diego. We may not know that he left the Bills until training camp. Sick and tired of the gilded Pats, but when you have a great QB, you gotta let it play out - but 20 yrs is absurd!

26CornerBlitz Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 The big free-agency shakeup Prisco: The Broncos are still the champs but they're not even in top five in the rankings after getting picked apart in free agency. Here's who is. 17 The defense took a step back last season, which was strange under Rex Ryan. The big issue is whether Tyrod Taylor was a one-hit wonder or not. I don't think he was.

Santana Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I actually think that's a pretty good spot for us. We shouldn't be ranked any higher in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 14th is about right IMO. That's where they finished last season if you go by draft slotting (they're 14th if you count draft order from 32 to 19). WTF is the Hogan BS, though? Why does the entire Bills write up have to be about the Cheatriots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
