But looking at all of them together they do beg the question of what exactly are the USA Today and One11Sports “rankers” watching? Obvious to me, Rodak knows how to get a rise from Bills fans. More clicks, more chatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rosier outlooks for our Bills this year were largely based on a strong defense keeping an inconsistent offense in games. Our offense has been good, but I understand the cautious perception of these lists if folks think our defense is going to struggle stopping teams. Honestly, it would feel like the universe was setting us up for a fall if the Bills had more hype and were rated a lot higher in these power rankings.

BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Still don't understand all the love the rankings give to the Steelers ... They played the Giants and the Broncos which both teams are 0-2 and struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the Rams beat Philly 0 wins and Dallas 1 win because Atlanta didn't know how to fall on a ball! It's not easy to win in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this will be what you say when they beat the Rams? You can honestly say that about most teams right now in week 2... but before this season started the Jets and Dolphins were supposed to be "tough tests" b/c of how they ended the year last year. hmmm....

Buftex Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I know this isn't the point of the thread, but the ESPN ranking lists each team "under the radar" fantasy star. For the Chiefs they list Travis Kelce! What radar is Travis Kelce under? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 According to Dan Hanzus, the Giants are the best team in NY. Previous rank: No. 31 The Giants are the best team in New York ... unfortunately, they're worse than everyone else. Big Blue was dreadful at home on Sunday, bullied up and down the field by a 49ers team missing several key players on both sides of the ball in a 36-9 loss. Daniel Jones threw an interception and was charged with another lost fumble; his turnover issues cannot be ignored and will make him a figure of increasing scrutiny with the Giants steaming toward a high pick in the first round next spring. That said, this is not all on the second-year quarterback. The Giants lack difference-makers on defense, and the loss of Saquon Barkley has robbed the offense of the only thing that made it special. Dark days in the Meadowlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark days in the Meadowlands. No argument that the Giants are bad & that the Jets are even worse. However -- the Giants are best team in New Jersey not the best team in New York! I just made a trip down to New York City two weeks ago (had to attend a family event). I drove right by Met Life Stadium (at least I think that's what they still call it) on the way into the city. In my opinion that stadium is one of the ugliest structures I have ever seen - viewed from the exterior. My opinion on this is certainly debatable - after all "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". However there can be no argument that I was in New Jersey when I was looking at that hideous looking Stadium - and not in New York! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards was coming up a lot in the MVP discussion if I recall correctly. I flew to the BIlls game vs. the Cardinals that year when Trent got injured on (I think) the first drive of the game. I was never an Edwards fans, and preferred Losman, but that had precisely zero to do with my analysis of their individual abilities and more to do with the weekend I joined @Kelly the Dog in an LA bar with some of Losman's family to watch a Bills game. Walking to the stadium in Arizona, @JÂy RÛßeÒshook his head and said he really didn't think Losman was going to make it. By the time the game was over, his point was made, though I did get to see JP hit Evans deep, which was kind of fun. This has nothing to do with power rankings. It's just what pops in my head every time someone mentioned Trent Edwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 930 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 ints through 4 games. Would have been something like 3,720 yards 16 TDS and 8 Ints for a full season. Feel like its a much different situation this time around.
