PlayoffsPlease Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 12 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: NFL.com has the Bills at 12, ESPN at 15. New York Post moves us up one, all the way to 18 from 19. The next lowest 2-0 team is #8. Bitter much? https://nypost.com/2019/09/17/nfl-power-rankings-for-week-2-surprise-49ers-are-surging/ I think the bitterness is directed at the Jets and Giants. Their fans currently think a strong high school team could beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Fran, the only other team to be 2-0 after 2 road games, and against middling opposition, and after finishing 4-12 last year, is #8. It's all about that guy dating the porn star. SF is the chic pic I guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Quote If Buffalo goes to 3-0, it's possible that their 3 opponents will be the 3 lowest ranked teams in the NFL. Miami is no longer in the NFL. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Here is a different type of power rankings. Based on a formula, targeted at gamblers. It does not take into accounts things like the injury to Drew Brees and the retirment of Andrew Luck. Not a better method, not a worse method. Just a different method. It has the Bills currently at 15th. https://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/power-rankings oddsharks definitely like the Bills over the Bengals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I think #12 is a fair ranking at this time. Yes, the Bills are 2-0 and did that on the road but both of their opponents look to be serious bottom-feeders. Until they prove they can beat teams about equal to them or better, they won't get the "respect" that Bills fans think they deserve now. A win, even a lopsided one, next week over Cinci probably won't propel the Bills more than 1 or 2 places higher. If they can go toe-to-toe with the Pats in Week 4, then they'll start being considered a serious playoff contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like bottom feeders and being bottom feeders .. not the same. the media has always ranked Darnold over Allen. The Giants put up points against Dallas. ergo ..... see the point?

Freddie's Dead Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Simply ranking teams by record, and then ranking them within that record is intellectually lazy. I could do that myself. Be intellectually lazy, I mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rew Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 The heavy numbers are lazy and counter to the intent of a "power ranking". If you want to see rankings based on record just go to nfl.com standings. Looking at last year's results, combined with the bottom feeder perception of the teams we beat, I would put us in the mid teens at this point. While we as the fans saw a game where the Bills clearly outplayed the Jets for 4 quarters as a team, it doesn't matter. The result is that we beat the giants and almost lost to the Jets. If we embarrass the Bengals we could go up a few spots. Playing the Pats tough, even if we lose, will have the greatest impact on where perception falls. Personally, I feel the Bills can be a top 10 team this year. But we (and the media) won't know until we play another top 10 team and are competitive.

TigerJ Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Among national media outlets, ESPN almost always has Buffalo ranked lower than anybody else. Right now, they have Buffalo at #15. This time, they're the same as Bleacher Report. Among regional media outlets, the Mile High Report has Buffalo at #24 - two spots higher than the 0 - 2 Denver Broncos. Surprise, surprise.

(no, because there isn't one) As I've said before, some teams that laid eggs in Week 1 will go on to become playoff teams while some other teams that performed well in Week 1 will wind up in the toilet. Week 2 only gives us a hint of what the teams really are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALO BILLS (2-0) Previous rank: 20 Points in poll: 217 Highest-place vote: 7 (1 voter) Lowest-place vote: 18 (1 voter) Last week’s result: Beat N.Y. Giants, 28-14 This week: vs. Cincinnati Josh Allen is winning games—and showing some swag. Our voters took note, and the Bills are in the top half of the poll for the first time in a long time.
