Inigo Montoya Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Not that I put much stock in this, but it still pisses me off. The bottom line is that until the Bills start to win, they will continue to get no respect. 2019 is going to be a huge year for this franchise, free agency and the draft are going to be critical. If McBeane can do a solid job these next three months and Allen continues to play like he did during the second half of the season, I think we grab one of the Wild Card spots in 2019. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25879183/2019-nfl-power-rankings-way-too-early-offseason-poll Edited February 4, 2019 by Inigo Montoya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 That’s funny. They have the Dolphins at #22, even when the write up about them admits they are about to go on full rebuild. You would think team about to execute full rebuild would automatically drop to the bottom of any power ranking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Same thing last year. And the year before. Every single year people think the Bills are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and every year the Bills are average to below average. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Without even reading it I'd put us ahead of the Cardinals, Lions, Jets, Fins, Skins, Giants, Raiders, Jags, and Bucs behind us.

You would think team about to execute full rebuild would automatically drop to the bottom of any power ranking. But that would require ESPN writers using logic and reason, neither of which are methodologies allowed by contractual agreement when signing on as an ESPN employee. As some might inquire, a few methodologies allowed in ESPN's employee handbook: 1. The spaghetti-against-wall method 2. Algebra 3. Drawing straws 4. Tea leaf readings 5. Asking high-school tennis coaches for hot takes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Given the status of the roster I would agree with the low ranking. There’s not a lot of marketable “names” here and we haven’t done squat in years. My guess would be as they were finishing the list they were like “oh crap I forgot buffalo even had a team throw them in the bottom somewhere” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 How in the name of Roger Goodell are the Jags three positions ahead of us?

TC in St. Louis Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 We are still irrelevant. We're like the last guy picked in the draft. Nobody cares enough about the Buffalo Bills to even examine them. I'll bet the guy was working down the list and forgot to put us in there. He's at #29 and says, "Oh, yeah. The Bills. Well they're not as bad as the Jets. Hey, let's just drop them in here. Who cares?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 ESPN is just a damned dumb sports outlet. The Bills have finished 3rd worse what, once in the last 35 years? But, a team that shows promise like this one is going to sink in the standings? OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
