26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 NFL.com Power Rankings: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000715293/native/nfl-power-rankings-week-5-denver-broncos-claim-no-1-spot?akapp=mobile&akview=phone&akvideo=on RANK 15 2-2 BILLS The numbers from Rex's win, er, the Bills' win over the Patriots are flat staggering. Buffalo handed New England its first shutout loss at home since 1993. Dennis Thurman's defense forced a stop on 11 of 12 third downs. Especially cool -- and we're going to go all micro view here -- was ILB Zach Brown's rendering of what quality individual defense is. How about this: 18 tackles ( 18!), a sack, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble? The only thing he missed was the pregame fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivermont Mike Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 @usatoday_nfl New Power Rankings: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/ Bills at #16 on the USA Today list Nice jump. If the Bills behave like a playoff team and win the games they are supposed to win (see: LA Rams, road-version 49ers), they might crack the top 10 with a 4-2 record heading into the NE game at the Cap. If they take LA lightly and lose, then we're back to "sky-is-falling-rex-sucks-rob-sucks-whaley-sucks" talk. The fact that they've shown up for work on an off-day suggests that some of the younger guys want a sniff at the playoffs before they get injured/traded. I'm a 50-year fan whose been down this road with a lot of you many, many times before. LA first, then we'll see what happens.

GO BILLS! #billieve We have the Dolphins in Miami before that home NE game. We need to be 5-2 headed into that NE game, but it starts by simply going 1-0 this week.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 @walterfootball Week 5 NFL Power Rankings - http://walterfootball.com/nflpowerrankings.php 22. Buffalo Bills (2-2) - Previously: 25.I have no idea what's going on with this Buffalo team. I'm 1-3 trying to pick their games, and the one victory was a close one in Week 1 versus the Ravens.Because I can't figure out the Bills at this moment, I'll share a conversation I had with a friend of mine while watching the pre-game promo between the Bills and Jets, which featured Jim Kelly's daughters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The NFC East game of the week (PHI @ DAL) is at week 8. Forget it. That, on top of the fact that we play then next week in Seattle MNF, I am happy with the 1pm kickoff for the Patsys. thought it used to be December, now they start earlier?? I think they did, week 8 if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Power ranking are always weird. I don't think the LA Rams are that good but 3-1 and 1st in their division has to be worth more than the 29th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 whoa It's so early to determine how good a team is based on their record after 4 weeks. Can New Orleans, Arizona, Indy and Carolina really suck? Can the Rams really be good? I don't know. These power rankings, for the most part, are shots in the dark, IMO.
