You want to get people upset and drive up your traffic, have the Cowboys and Pats ranked well into the 20's, and that will do the job. You misunderstand. The ridiculous thing is having the cowboys that high. It's not simply putting everyone at 32 that makes it ridiculous. The point is to elicit a strong reaction and get those people prone to reading something and then drop everything and race to others to tell them about it.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Maybe the ranking was based on worldwide sales of team apparel? And the author's picture looks like the model for Beaker (the Muppet). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Syndicated sports writers write for ratings. This is a prime example as the Dallas fan base is Top-3 league wide. This particular writer shows special adherence to discipline rating Buffalo 23rd.. because amazingly that's what Buffalo draws in ratings. Sleep well my friend, because the Bills are a Top 10 team and will surprise most of the national media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc1320 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Who cares? You think given the limited media access this clown actually went to every training camp? Don’t be a sucker for the click bait, these lists mean nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, however the same is usually done when the team you root for is ranked high. Everyone races to tell others. If the Bills were ranked 4th by this clown and the cowboys 26th, I imagine the reverse reactions would take place and an equal amount of clicks. The ranking is just trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It is seemingly about training camp siloed irrespective of the team's talent (which is stupid and narrow) but I haven't heard the Bills having a bad training camp overall. Seems to be fairly even keeled. Not a ton of injuries and a lot of fairly normal camp stories. Whoever put together this list must be trolling.

I know the author say they are based on how teams look in camp...but they also say they take into consideration how good the team is overall. And how can you rank a team based on a couple weeks of training camp performance when very little actual footage/info is coming out of camps this year and no games are being played?

ProcessAccepted Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) He has the Chiefs at #7 but then says "Make no mistake: They're still No. 1 or 2 in actual power rankings". So I'm guessing this is the Alternative Facts Power Ranking. He should have just put the Washington Football Team at #1. The fan base there have had to deal with a lot lately they could use the boost Edited August 31, 2020 by ProcessAccepted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could EASILY get his completion % WAY UP by dumping off a little more and giving his guys a chance to make a play. Same with the long ball, give them a chance to make a play or get the PI call. The 10 yard overthrow won’t be an INT, but get it close and it just might work out for us. Know down/distance and game situation. A pick on a long ball might be almost as good as a punt. I have high hopes for him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
