DirtDart Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) That was taken from the site the opening post quoted. What was I supposed to, say they weren't ranked 4th, or put up a quote about another team? Don't be so sensitive. I don't see an issue with the post. Although, you should get a warning point for being a Pats fan @gmfb Now on #GMFB, @HarrisonNFL discusses his Power Rankings! Here they are: https://t.co/vQbGFXCLZR RANK 7 4-2 BILLS So happy for these guys. As mentioned previously in this space, I reserve the right to cheer for the Bills. When the early injuries (and one very important suspension) contributed to an 0-2 start, I feared we were in for another empty, 8-8, playoff-less season. Well, now look: Buffalo is 4-2 after winning four in a row, including a huge division win over the Patriots. The defense looks fantastic. Soon it will be Shaq-tastic, when the first-round pick gets healthy. Sure would be nice to have Marcell Dareus back this week ... jussssst in time for the Dolphins. We shall see what happens when we play good teams Edited October 18, 2016 by DirtDart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what more evidence you need to deduce their caliber among the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) The teams the Bills have beaten are not really bad teams, like you might find in CFB. All are dangerous and all can beat you on any given day. Simply drilling the lower tier teams on your schedule gets you 7-8 wins, which puts you on the cusp of the playoffs. And if I'm not mistaken, the Bills were underdogs in three of those games (I know the Rams line moved, but the Rams were initially favored.)

Unfortunately, his peak was in four quarters in Buffalo, and his regression to the mean has been drawn out over the four games since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanNH Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I am a firm believer in that your record shows who you are. It doesn't matter how you won just as long as you won. Power rankings make no sense, why hasn't Carolina plummeted to the bottom 5 yet they are AWFUL on D and the O is inconsistent at best. ( I knew they were in for a long year when Cam had a hard time scoring on a D filled with future Line cooks in week 3 of the preseason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever?

eball Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Agreed...which makes that Jets game even more painful in Week 2. Can't look at it that way. Without that L Roman is still here and the offense likely doesn't turn it around the way they have. I'm saying the Bills are probably 3-3 at best right now if they beat the Jets.

Wayne Arnold Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Mother !@#$ing Fitz always normalizes. Unfortunately, his peak was in four quarters in Buffalo, and his regression to the mean has been drawn out over the four games since. Fitz is either legendary (FitzMagic) or a disaster (Shitzpatrick). There's never an in between. Obviously, we got FitzMagic. On steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo (4-2). LW: 11. Complementary football going on up in Orchard Park. Offense plays better, and so does the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
