BillsIsrael Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 In the SI power ranking Buffalo is ranked 12 - which is debatable but reasonablehttps://www.si.com/nfl/2019/11/19/nfl-power-rankings-poll-week-12-ravens-patriots-49ers The interesting part is 12. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Was it Chris Brown that voted us #1? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Most likely it is just a typo. Should be 11 or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - there are 8 writers (Chris Brown is not one of them) Ravens got 4 1st place votes Pats* got 1 SF got 1 GB got 1 and we got the last one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 That's very odd but I think I've found the culprit. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 From the Athletic: 13. 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.” 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I think NFL.com has us outside the top 12 as well, behind 6 teams with worse records including the 5-5 Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I could see us at 11 or maybe 10 as a stretch, although I don’t take much stock in power rankings, but never understood why anyone gets upset if we’re not higher. What do we care. The record is what matters. We beat Denver and Dallas which is possible as the Cowboys will be coming off a tough game the previous Sunday so there is a very good chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I always thought these Power Rankings were silly. It was Bill Parcells who famously said, "You are what your record says you are". The Bills are the only team at 7-3, which neatly and without debate places them at #8. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Until we beat a team that people expect us to get handled by, a team with a solid record, it will be more of the same. It's quite understandable. I'm hoping our guys come out on Thanksgiving ready to play and put together their most complete game of they year against the Cowboys. First on the agenda though, keeping it going against the Broncos this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 With a 5-5 record there is no way the Eagles should be ranked ahead of Buffalo. What a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Maybe a small thing but beating the Bills 31-13 on the road has a way of sticking in voters' and fans' minds. 41 minutes ago, HOUSE said: With a 5-5 record there is no way the Eagles should be ranked ahead of Buffalo.

No. Ravens will have a bye wild card weekend. Wild card opponent will be Chiefs, Raiders, Colts or Texans, depending on who makes the playoffs, assuming the Bills make the dance, which is by no means assured at this point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right for some reason I was still thinking of the Chiefs being the 2nd seed earlier in the season. We can still help the Ravens get back to the wild card game by beating them.

I know we havent factored much into the playoffs in the past 20 years, but come on. Edited November 20, 2019 by PaattMaann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
