elijah Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Over the past few years, Tuesday after game day has become so fulfilling. Seeing the Bills continuously nab a top 10 spot and finally getting the national recognition we were devoid of for 2 decades. I figured this week there’d be a plethora of number 1 rankings, probably more so than ever before, so figured I’d put together a thread of it! Enjoy 🍻 “I don’t care about the power rankings, footballs played on the field not paper.” Alright grumpy, relax a little, this seasons clearly going to be quite a ride. Enjoy the hype as the consensus number one team in the league while you can, this team isn’t going to last forever. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bills (1-0) Preseason ranking: 1 Rookie who stood out: RB James Cook Unfortunately, the second-round pick stood out for the wrong reason -- fumbling on his first career NFL snap during the Bills' turnover-filled start against the Rams. The Bills recovered from their three turnovers in the first half to finish with a convincing win, but Cook played only two more snaps. With the talent that Buffalo has on his offense, his playing time will likely slowly increase over the course of the season. "I'm glad [Cook] got [the fumble] out the way," Von Miller said. "He showed us all types of crazy stuff in practice, man, he's gonna have an excellent year this year." -- Alaina Getzenberg https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2022/09/13/nfl-power-rankings-week-1-buffalo-bills-kansas-city-chiefs-los-angeles-chargers Quote 1. Buffalo Bills(1-0) Last week: Win at Los Angeles Rams, 31-10 (Thursday) Next week: vs. Tennesee (Monday) Dating back to the playoffs last year, the Bills have logged a majority percentage of the most phenomenal offensive performances we’ve seen by a football team over the last calendar year. Josh Allen is a missile headed for the MVP award. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bills (1-0): The prettiest girl at the NFL ball showed up Thursday night and lived up to their billing. The Bills are for real. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-2-power-rankings-chiefs-rise-to-no-2-while-super-bowl-teams-fall-but-dont-overreact-to-wild-start/amp/ Quote RKTEAMSCHGRCRD 1 BILLS --1-0-0 After their showing against the Rams, there is no doubt they should be in this top spot. They sent a message to the rest of the league with that victory. https://www.nfl.com/_amp/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2022-nfl-season Quote 1. Buffalo Bills Previous rank: No. 1 On Thursday night at SoFi Stadium, long after most Rams fans had headed for the exits, thousands of visiting Bills supporters hung around to soak in the feeling of an extremely satisfying victory. Sean McDermott's team had drubbed the defending champions, 31-10, putting the demons of January's excruciating Divisional Round loss in the rearview. Josh Allen played like an MVP favorite, and the Bills' front seven dominated the trenches, making life miserable for Matthew Stafford. On paper entering this season, it looked like Buffalo had the most complete team in football. One game in, the on-field product supports that notion. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nfl-power-rankings-bills-chiefs-top-teams-league-through-week-1.amp Quote 1. Buffalo Bills The Bills looked like Super Bowl favorites in their Thursday night win over the Rams. Josh Allen had four total touchdowns. Allen threw three touchdown passes to three different receivers and rushed for another score. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/week-1-nfl-power-rankings-bills-chiefs-impress-in-week-1-drubbings/ Quote 1. Buffalo Bills It’s easy to get hyperbolic about the Bills. They’re not the 1985 Bears defense, but this is probably the best defense we’ve seen in the NFL since the height of the Seattle Seahawks Legion of Boom. Von Miller adds a layer to the Bills’ defense that they didn’t need but went out and got anyway. And he made his presence felt immediately with two sacks against his former team. Josh Allen started off a bit slow, but the second half was reminiscent of his performance against Kansas City in the Divisional Round a season ago. He’s still evolving as a passer, which is the scariest part of his game. If the Bills can find a consistent rushing option that isn’t Allen (because of the injury concern), this team could be as close to unbeatable as we’ve seen in recent years. https://thelistwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-entering-week-2/ Quote 2. Buffalo Bills Superb start to the season for the early Super Bowl favorites. They get another interesting foe at home in Week 2.

KDIGGZ Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Bills beat the #2 team and KC beats the #10-15 team but I see a few publications moved them to #1 over us.

The Red King Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Miami is the new shiny bandwagon. Every year has to have a new team to gush on, and Miami was an attractive choice after preseason hype and spanking the Pats. We'll see how long the shine lasts. Remember, it's all about clicks and narratives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Cowboys should be in the 20s.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 We don’t need to get salty about Patrick Mahomes’ stats and how he achieves them. Who really cares? I think we all can recognize that there are two top dog quarterbacks in this league and Mahomes joins our guy Allen in that stratosphere. It’s quite obvious that the Chiefs are going to be elite again. But, to be the man you’ve got to beat the man. Our boys are obviously up for the challenge. Really looking forward to the next 21 weeks of football! 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
