Lose Sunday and we’ll be kicked back down past 10. I think that if the Bills play NE tough, even if they lose a close game, they'll gain more respect. I don't think that they would move up in that scenario but they probably wouldn't drop very far if at all. With power rankings, who a team plays and how it plays count for more than simply whether they win or lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I believe ESPN is a more credible source than BigPappy On #1. Yes, absolutely right, I arbitrarily made that number up, but only becaise it makes sense. on #2. Everyone on this board knows that ESPN is a joke. My deceased grandmother could power rank the teams better than ESPN. I am by no means an expert and It is your prerogative to believe ESPN if you wish.

Trash a commentator for their views or lack of ability to back up said views, but just labeling it trash because they are employed by ESPN makes very little sense.

There is no "ESPN opinion" like many on this board like to believe. Trash a commentator for their views or lack of ability to back up said views, but just labeling it trash because they are employed by ESPN makes very little sense. Of course I realize that, but maybe i should clarify that I am referring to the staff the handle the NFL football aspect. It's a generalized statement regarding ESPN commentators and writers. There are many on this board that feel the same way regarding ESPN's staff as a whole that they in general have no idea what they are talking about, get facts completely wrong, and many times get players names wrong or can't name the right team they play for. I have seen countless ESPN opinions posted here that had absolutely no bases in fact. They are entitled to their opinions just as anyone is, but when your opinion is based on non facts you lose your credibility. So, that said.... for right or wrong, i stick by my generalized statement regarding ESPN. When it comes to reporting on the NFL, they are a bunch of bleeping morons.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 NFL . com Buffalo 11 Previous rank: No. 6 A disappointing performance by Josh Allen, and not because he exited in the second half with a head injury. Allen had shown undeniable growth as a quarterback during the Bills' 3-0 start, but the 2018 first-round pick wasn't quite up for the moment against a powerhouse Patriots defense. In the 16-10 loss to New England, Allen threw three interceptions, missed open receivers and generally looked a lot like the Bad Josh Allen that Bills fans hoped had been left behind last year. It's a shame, too, because Buffalo's defense showed (again) that it is one of the very best units in football. Ask Tom Brady, who looked completely out of sorts in leading the Pats offense to 224 yards of total offense. Bills safety Micah Hyde on the hit that ended Allen's day: "If one of us did that to 12 (Brady), we wouldn't have been in that game anymore. There's no way." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-5-power-rankings-49ers-make-big-leap-as-just-three-unbeaten-teams-remain/ 9 Bills v 3 They have to be better on offense than they were against the Patriots. Josh Allen has to throw it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 i cant disagree with any of these rankings. until the offense shows they can score against a legit defense i think we are anywhere from 10-15 sort of team. right there in the hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
