hemma Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I can remember ~ 10 years ago that moving from 27th to 24th in espn rankings was cause for happy warm feelings. Any victory, however small, was good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 KC lost to the two toughest teams they played and are ranked ahead of both. 😂 Makes sense 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crapshoot, but regardless the Bills are the best team in the NFL. We can argue about who's the best team in the NFL all we want, but the only thing that matters from here on it is which team goes undefeated in the post-season. Winning it all makes all the other arguments a moot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Fortunately, and unlike in college, the rankings mean nothing. Seeding counts, but most and of only importance, it is the results of the games that count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs? Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Couldn’t care less about the power rankings. A high ranking means absolutely nothing if we don’t go out there and beat good football teams. For anyone that cares about us being number one, we need a statement win against Cincy on Monday… and if that doesn’t get us to one, keep winning! Plain and simple.

3rdnlng Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The Bill's defense was designed to work as a compliment to their offense. The theory was that the Bill's offense was/is high powered enough to get a decent lead on their opponents and those opponents would have to open up and pass to get back in the game. The strength of the Bill's defense was their secondary that would in turn give the front seven time to pressure the QB. We were weakened with the loss of Tre White last year and really depleted with the loss of Hyde for the season and Poyer off and on along with others this year. Edmunds and Milano missed games. Von Miller is out. At the beginning of the year and right about now our defense is at their healthiest. If our offense can get decent leads we should be able to have our defense perform like it was intended to do. 34 minutes ago, CEN-CAL17 said: If Bills go into Cincy(Which everyone is picking Cincy), and win…..

Adam727 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Josh Allen's elbow is injured and Micah Hyde and Von Miller are out for the year. 3rd seems fair under those circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I still don't get why people get worked up about this? At this point, you have to just accept Mahomes is the best QB in the league. That will give them the edge in predictions/power rankings any time it's close. Mahomes: 4,720 passing yards / 37 passing TD's / 11 INT's / 66.9 comp. % / 105.1 passer rating Allen: 4,029 passing yards / 32 passing TD's / 13 INT's / 63.4 comp. % / 96.1 passer rating Mahomes: 321 rushing yards / 4 TD's / 0 fumbles lost Allen: 746 rushing yards / 7 TD's / 2 fumbles lost So Mahomes is better in every single passing category, Allen is better in rushing. Even adding Allen's rushing stats, Mahomes has more total TD's & less turnovers. Hell, if you combine Allen's rushing & passing yards, he only barely edges out just Mahomes' passing total by 55 yards. And all of that is ok! We're not trying to win best overall QB, we're trying to win a SB! We also know when Allen plays at his best, he's as good as anyone in the league including Mahomes. He doesn't play that way as consistently as Mahomes, but he's capable of doing it when it counts. Burrow isn't better than Mahomes, yet the Bengals are 3-0 against them. Brady being the GOAT didn't lead to a SB win every year, nor did peak Peyton Manning guarantee him SB wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 People act like winning the power ranking sweepstakes automatically vaults you straight to the SB. It matters about as much as the nonsense Nick Wright spews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what ? Obviously i want be the n.1 seed, play them in Buffalo and brutally blow them ! Well, blow em out anyway ! Yes the “experts” will always bow to Pat the rat. The Bills will show them in the end. It’ll just make it that much better when Allen hoists the Lombardi. 5 hours ago, CEN-CAL17 said: If Bills go into Cincy(Which everyone is picking Cincy), and win….. I see Buffalo being #1 next week.

HappyDays Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I don't care about power rankings but the Chiefs defense makes it impossible to say they're the best team in the league. They are one of 5 teams or so that can beat any other team on their best day, but if you call them #1 you are basically saying defense doesn't matter at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaru523 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'm glad the Bills are 3rd, hell, I wish they'd rank them lower. Let those other teams have the pressure, let them underestimate Buffalo, just adds fuel to the fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
