DirtDart Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Â 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 Â RANK 7 Â Â 4-2 BILLS Â 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.

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.)

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.

Punching Bag Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited)  Well, we've crushed the bad ones. I'm not sure what more evidence you need to deduce their caliber among the rest of the league.  By definition of many posters on this board any team we beat will be "bad" and has nothing to do with effort of Bills. Hopefully they will continue with losing money betting against the Bills. @PFF Week 7 NFL Power Rankings: 1. @Patriots 2. @dallascowboys 3. @Vikings 4. @AtlantaFalcons 5. @Seahawks 6–32. http://bit.ly/2er8ayd  PFF has the Bills' offense #4, defense #5, and the team overall at #6 That makes absolutely no sense--the whole is lesser than the sum of its parts?
