dollars 2 donuts Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-power-rankings-week-5-2023/ Just because it is early doesn't mean it doesn't count!* Amazing how our team can get off to a 3-1 start, all the while with a Tier 2 quarterback under center whose window is closing. What a country! 😉 (* In the grand scheme of things this does not count for even a hill of beans) Tuesday adds: https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nfl/nfl-power-rankings-week-5-49ers-retain-top-spot-as-dolphins-bengals-dip/510323/ Really? Cowboys higher than the Bills? https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-power-rankings-bills-chiefs-49ers-steelers-bengals/4b2d8c272038a728488d7202 https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-nfl-power-rankings-2023-week-5-20231003-jefa7nb3jvc2zbs2bvjoaazmyy-story.html https://www.profootballnetwork.com/week-5-nfl-power-rankings-dalton-miller-2023/ Just not buying the chiefs ahead of the Bills. You shouldn’t, either. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38505927/nfl-week-5-power-rankings-poll-2023-plus-biggest-issues-defense?platform=amp anyone really…really think the eagles are better than the Bills right now? https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-5-2023-nfl-season No...no. I just don't think KC is ahead of us. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/pfts-week-5-2023-nfl-power-rankings Well, it makes little difference NBC Chicago, or NBC Sports in general...you're just wrong, by...a lot. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-5-power-rankings-buccaneers-balling-without-tom-brady-texans-climbing-steelers-fall-seven-spots/ Look I get the Bills not being Number 1. I can live easily with being # 2 behind the Niners, and it stinks but whatever if it is #3 behind the two undefeated teams. However, you lose me when you see what this team has done for the last three weeks and compare it to other 3-1 teams.

dorquemada Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 that that's a pretty bad power ranking, using a picture of the Bills from another season 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Niners Bills KC Philly Miami Dallas Baltimore Detroit Jax LAC- TB- LAR Bills over KC because we have the best win by far and have been the best team in the league the last 3 weeks. Philly undefeated but haven’t been very impressive to me. Baltimore gets my nod over Detroit because they’re 3-1 while being absolutely decimated with injuries.

They are going to be 2-4 going into their bye, with 49ers, Bills and Ravens as 3 of the next 4.... They could be sitting at 3-7 halfway through the year! Unfortunately, they know they will be losing more talent this year (Higgins) so they are pushing Burrow to play to try to make the playoffs and get a ring. They are thinking short term, and its killing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 If I had to rank the teams into tiers (excluding the Monday night teams) Tier 1 - True Contenders KC, Buffalo, San Fran and Philly Tier 2- Second Level Contenders Miami, Baltimore, Cowboys and Detroit Tier 3 - Playoff hopefuls The AFC South (someone has to win that division), Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Commanders, Browns, Packers, Rams and Chargers. Tier 4 - Season on life support Broncos, Vikings, Steelers, Pats, Jets, Cardinals, Raiders, Saints and Bengals Tier 5 - Pull the plug Bears and Panthers 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think “power rankings” are fun but somewhat silly in that they are very arbitrary and subjective in most cases. Tier lists usually give you the same sense of evaluation without having little quibbles over who should be 14 vs 15. I think in two weeks we should really clear up those middle tier’s 3 and 4 as I suspect a lot of the teams who are on life support will have their seasons pulled) and a lot of the teams in the “playoff hopeful” category will be on life support. The key is to “survive” the first 4 weeks and be at least 2-2. But now that the first quarter of the season is over you will start to see some separation between the teams who are going to at least be relevant and this season and the teams just “hanging around” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Was watching Rich Eisen they were arguing about what would happen if the Bills played the 49ers and I’ll be honest I think Buffalo would house them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I think we could win but I wouldn't say we'd house them. Purdy is really solid and doesn't turn the ball over, they have a some really nice offensive weapons and a tough D and Shanahan would get to script out some drives for a couple of weeks. They'd be pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough they've got a good defense, but Allen can do more than Purdy, we should be able to pull it off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole landscape can change largely due to injury and players improving as the season goes on. If the Bills meet the Niners in a hypothetical but possible Super Bowl then I like the Bills chances but that’s so hard to project out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a close game CMC scares me a bit and they have him in the passing game along with Samuel, Aiyuk, & Kittle, so double teams are limited. Bosa vs. Spencer Brown is an enormous mismatch.
