We’ve played ONE good team... and some of those games have been way too close for comfort. The Bills played 3, arguably 4 bad teams and even with mistakes kept it TOO close for NE***'s liking Kraft is already begging for Gronk to unretire. good teams overcome mistakes..... Question: would the Bills have fared as well last season doing the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Who gives a flying fluck where anyone has the Bills ranked on their stupid power rankings. This isn't college football where it does matter where you rank. I could care less if every stupid ranking list had the Bills 33rd on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF has the Bills 20th what a joke that site is. Explaining their system this way! “As opposed to most other ELO systems, PFF ELO doesn’t use the final score to update the rankings. Instead, we compute what the final score should have been based on the player grades.” What a stupid system. That’s like saying: our picks were right, what happened in the games was wrong! They live in their own reality. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to argue with at this point. I do believe I would have us at #8 behind the Texans and Chiefs, with the Ravens coming in at #9.

Buffalo Bills (5-1) Week 7 ranking: 8 Recalibrated expectation: Make the playoffs With their current 5-1 record and one of the NFL's easiest remaining schedules, there's no excuse for the Bills not to make the playoffs for the second time in three seasons -- something that hasn't happened since they made back-to-back postseason appearances in 1998 and 1999. They're only one game back of the AFC East-leading Patriots, but overtaking them for what could end up being the conference's number-one seed seems less realistic than capturing a wild-card berth. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITE ME Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) The Bills are the 2nd or 3rd best team in the AFC. They are the only team to even play with the best team in football. They are young and have a ton of cap space. This is not the championship year, but next year could be. On 10/17/2019 at 4:32 PM, billsfan_34 said: Rankings Schmankings lets just get more W’s!

The Ravens blowout loss to Cleveland at Home also makes me wonder in the Ravens that good. Top 6 in AFC is pretty clear cut.

Except it's broken when you have a team with the second best record be the 5th seed. We could be 15-1 by the end of the season and still be the 5th seed behind a team with single digit wins. NFL.com would still probably find a reason to rank us behind them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 funny how they win and drop. take these rankings with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Power rankings are just a subjective snapshot of the league week to week. The Bills don’t score enough points or make enough highlight reels to move up. They also play an easy schedule this season, so won’t have many eye opening wins with wow factor. They’d be higher if they had beaten the Pats* regardless of the score, and that might be their only way to move into the top 5 or so all season.

If Buffalo takes better care of the ball, it will be a dangerous team given the strength of its defense. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques Playing NE's defense can skew that turnover metric - just ask the Jets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
