DuckyBoys Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well Bills are 2-3 having played teams ranked 10,11,13,14,15 They get two road games then will have 6 of the last 9 at home. If they pull out one of the next two road games were headed for another 7 or 8 win season somehow. Ranking is probably where it should be though you can make a strong case for the Bucs, Giants, Colts, Cowgirls, Lions, Texans, Falcons are all in the same boat. Falcons have zero defense and the coach sucks. Somehow I don't see the wheels falling off and us getting to only 4 wins to get a top 5 pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely 5-0 had they started Mayfield from the start of the season. Coaching mistakes have hurt them too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 49 minutes ago, BarleyNY said: Cleveland is a quality coaching staff away from being a very, very good football team. Once Hue Jackson and Gregggg are canned and replaced they’ll be a playoff team. It won’t happen this season but look for it next. Mayfield is the real deal and they’ve got some real talent on their defense. Garrett and Ward will be their cornerstones for years to come. well, it depends on who they’re replaced with.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) NFL.com is slightly better (this week) http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000972240/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-6-saints-enter-top-three-eagles-dip BROWNS 16 Previous rank: No. 23 Said before in this space that, turnovers be damned, Baker Mayfield makes the Browns exciting to watch. Witness the key down in overtime: On third-and-long, the kid phenom evades the Ravens rush, steps back from a collapsing pocket a la Drew Brees and calmly hits Derrick Willies (who?) over the middle for a 39-yard gain. Willies, an undrafted free agent, made the first three catches of his pro career Sunday, with none larger than his catch-and-run in the extra period to set up the game-winning kick. He made the club playing special teams (for the first time). Amazing what opportunities a trade can open up -- and not just for the Patriots. Bills 28 Previous rank: No. 32 Huge win for the Bills, who once again rode an opportunistic defense and another sweet Josh Allen scamper to victory. Once again, Allen couldn't throw a lick (82 yards ... total), but benefitted from field position and tough yards from his RBs to set up "Hausch Money" for the game winner. Nobody wanted a piece of Chris Ivory on that final drive. Actually, though, the real stars of this AFC upset resided in Sean McDermott's defense, which allowed a scant 221 total yards while forcing turnovers and suffocating a Tennessee attack that made hay against the Eagles two Sundays ago. Not this past Sunday. Colts 29 Previous rank: No. 27 Swathed in the rush of the enemy, Capt. Andrew Luck repeatedly called upon his sidearm, unloading into the Patriots' lines, steady and true. Melancholy befell him, as his brethren floundered to furnish reinforcements nigh the engagement's creep. The good captain ne'er withdrew, surging forward with platoon long after the engagement had been ordained. Valor aplomb. It is said the captain of the opposition's field units was of an age to be out farming, perhaps tending his flock. Not on Thursday's eve. Alas, Capt. Luck was bested. (Sorry, I often get inspired by preferred Twitter accounts.) Edited October 9, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to think that longtime Saints OC Pete Carmichael would get a look due to his success and the similarities between Brees and Mayfield.

Philadelphia Eagles Record: 2-3Week 5 ranking: 6 Rest-of-season SOS ranking: 6th. The Eagles' toughest remaining game, according to FPI, comes in Week 15 when they travel to Los Angeles to play the Rams. FPI gives the Eagles a 20 percent chance to win, and it is part of a stretch in which the Eagles are not favored to win three of four games. -- Shah per ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is needed to change public opinion - which is what’s important - because Vegas is much more concerned with keeping the money even on both sides than accuracy of betting lines, etc. Edited October 9, 2018 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
