PromoTheRobot Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 lol...how many "flawed" wins does NE have...what a bunch of malarkey.... WTF does flawed win mean?? The other team losing on an unforced safety? This was tying a game late and forcing a turnover to win. That's not a flaw, that's how good teams do it.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) @SInow It's a new (old) No. 1 in the latest NFL Power Rankings Poll, as the first-place votes were split among four teams https://www.si.com/nfl-power-rankings-2017 BIGGEST RISERS The Buffalo Bills (17th to 13th) also made a nice jump this week. According to Elias, Sunday's comeback win over the Bucs was the first time the Bills had been down seven-plus with less than three minutes left in regulation at home and come back to win. Not only will Sean McDermott's team not go away against any opponent, but the October weather in North Tonawanda has never been lovelier.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 @PFF See which teams rank 1-10 in this week's installment of PFFELO Power Rankings: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2017-pffelo-nfl-power-rankings-week-8 9. LAST WEEK: 11Another week, another win for the Bills. This time the Bills asked for and received a big effort by quarterback Tyrod Taylor (our seventh-highest graded quarterback through seven weeks). Taylor produced 53 yards on the ground (all after contact), while completing 7-of-10 passes for 146 yards when under pressure against the Buccaneers. It’s unclear whether the Bills, getting better-than-expected play from all three phases, can continue their terrific start in what has become a tough AFC East, but it’s a better league when the Bills are competitive week to week.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Fansided Power Rankings (Russell Baxter): https://fansided.com/2017/10/30/nfl-power-rankings-week-8-vikings-rise-raiders-trending/ Bills at #10 Recap: On Friday, Bills’ general manager Brandon Beane continued to wheel and deal as the team dealt defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a conditional fifth-round draft choice next year. On Sunday, Sean McDermott’s club took the field against the Oakland Raiders and took care of business in resounding fashion. Buffalo rolled to a 20-point victory thanks in part to 166 yards on the ground (151 by LeSean McCoy) and a team that totaled four takeaways. Meanwhile, McDermott’s defense limited the Silver and Black to a paltry 54 yards on the ground won big despite 11 penalties for 95 yards. Next Week: It will be a short road trip but there also won’t be a lot of preparation time for McDermott’s squad as the Bills are in position to sweep the New York Jets for the third time in four years. Back on opening weekend at Orchard Park, LeSean McCoy ran for 110 yards and Buffalo’s offense rolled up 408 total yards in a 21-12 victory. Playoff Hopes: Here is yet another team that still has so many divisional games remaining on its schedule. On Thursday night they will conclude their series with the Jets and getting the sweep of the Green and White could be very crucial to their postseason chances. If the Bills can continue to make strides, they’re a threat in the AFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This weeks Idiot list Rams #2? ESPN had the 3-4 Texans over 5-2 Buffalo. People are still looking at that Texans team and saying "this offense with their old defense...." a bit like people did round here for two years with Rex. The defense never came back though and nor does Houston's look like doing. That said, I still take them to win that division. Their remaining schedule includes the Colts twice, the Titans who they hung 59 on, the inconsistent Ravens, the finished Cardinals, the hopeless 49ers. I say that gets them to 9-7 and they win the division with that record again. Whereas 9-7 for the Bills would likely mean we miss the playoffs. No matter though.... we can win 10.

The wheels don't fall off that fast. The more wins the 49ers have the worse pick NE gets. CBS and Pete Prisco.. a true Bills detractor. #9 Sean McDermott is in the conversation for Coach of the Year. He's done a heck of a job, but the next five weeks will define this team. 4th best team in the AFC. I can dig that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
