The way I see it, is early to mid season power rankings are the same as early season College Football rankings, just a guideline. We have 4 games in a row to show we are a good football team. If we get smoked, mid 20s is where we belong, if we win a couple we should be a Top 5 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be no perfect formula but just from eyeballing this it is clearly broken. It’s impossible to have a team, with 2 more losses, including a loss at home to the team with 2 less losses, 9 spots ahead. I know that people hated it but the BCS was usually pretty close. 5 minutes ago, teef said: oh my! denver with their 3 wins is at 16. 7 spots ahead of a team that has 4 more wins.

MJS Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I would put us around 14 or 15. Not bad. If the offense continues to improve and we win a game against one of the Patriots, Ravens, or Cowboys, we'll deserve a top 10 position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALO BILLS (7-3) Previous rank: 14 Points in poll: 170 Highest-place vote: 1 (1 voter) Lowest-place vote: 15 (2 voters) Last week’s result: Beat Miami, 37-20 This week: vs. Denver one of the SI writers put the bills as number 1 on the power ranking. As much as I love the bills and I think they can be ranked higher I'm also realistic and know they are not yet #1. The one guy that put them at #1 was probably just trying to skew the average, otherwise they're just insane. 12th is fair, nothing wrong with that. If we can beat either the Cowboys or Ravens and keep the other one close, we'll shoot up the rankings. If we lose both or get blown out in either, we'll probably sink to the 15th-18th range.

Mat68 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) This ain't College. The Dolphins with Fitz, the Jets with Darnold are not NW Alabama Tech. Buffalo schedule is shaping up but that happens every year to a team. I have never heard it to the level Buffalo took it this year. The Rams with Mcvay year 1 had an easy schedule. The Pat's have the easiest schedule this year. As Parcells said. You are what your record says you are. 7-3 to 8-3 welcome to Thanksgiving. Buffalo can pull the upset or keep it close in Jerry world hold on cause Buffalo is for real. Buffalo is going to beat 1 of the teams they shouldn't. Dallas, Baltimore, or NE. Buffalo wins 1 or more.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Better than Dallas, Colts and Vikings, should be eagles too but that was a bad loss however i believe that will be the game that got the team on the right track as McD gave the freeing fearless meeting that will have the team playing aggressive and not tight.

Buffalo Bills (7-3; Last week: 14) Now that’s what a Bills team that fancies itself a playoff contender should look like against the Dolphins, riding Josh Allen’s best overall day of the season to a 37-20 win. But don’t take our word for it, let’s just make sure we read what offensive tackle Cody Ford said about Allen, because while I’m not sure I’m on board with all Ford’s gun metaphors, Ford clearly is passionate about his quarterback. “Josh is a dog. There’s a reason why he is who he is. Guys respect him. He’s a killer. He’s a silent assassin. He always says, ‘When we shoot we shoot.’ When we shoot, he shoots with us. And what are we going to do? We’re going to unload the clip. When he’s back there doing his thing, it’s like an energy and a spirit. You feel it. It gets on everybody. Everybody starts feeling it and we know it’s go time.” He is back !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like we are finally getting our due. I sense a top 20 ranking in this team’s future. If not this week, then soon.
