daquixers_is_back Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I especially liked Fox Sports comments ... "The hottest team in the AFC? Okay, maybe it’s the Dolphins, Chargers, or Ravens. But after those squads, you need look no further than up in Buffalo, where the Bills are suddenly winners of two straight, three of their last four, and only a game below .500. Sunday’s win over Jacksonville was a gritty one, with quarterback J.P. Losman leading the way once again. Losman, who looks part cast member of “The O.C.”, part Keanu Reeves body double, described his clutch fourth quarter 30-yard dart to Roscoe Parrish in classic Losman form in his post game chat with reporters: “It was pretty cool. Sometimes you've got to let it go, dude, and let players make the plays. I don't think many receivers could've caught that like he did.” The Bills are now a sleeping giant in the AFC Wildcard race, only two games behind Denver and Kansas City. Watch out for Buffalo down the stretch…dude." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destro32 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 How are we behind Miami in half of these polls having beating them IN MIAMI and having the same record as them..... Just because they caught the Bears on a bad day!!! WTF?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 How are we behind Miami in half of these polls having beating them IN MIAMI and having a better record than them..... Just because they caught the Bears on a bad day!!! WTF?!?!? 851402[/snapback] The Bills don't have a better record - they're both 5-6. Besides, these are just subjective rankings by "experts". When it comes down to playoff positioning, the Bills are ahead of Miami, but they still have to play each other once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 the nfl and espn ratings are bull sh--. we lose to the colts by only a few points and we drop a good 7 spots, but beat the jags and only move up 1 or 2 spots. and they are running out of things to say, so they just repeat things they said the week before.

One would think we'd get more props for playing the tougher schedule so far. Then again, Nick Saban = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they caught the Bears on a bad day!!! WTF?!?!? 851402[/snapback] Because they are coached by Saban, the best coach in the NFL according to Peter King. Actually, Miami has been playing pretty well the last 4 weeks taking out some big teams like Chicago and Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were below contempt most of the early season but have come on. We'll be the Miami for the rest of the season...I hope...I'd love to see us come on strong, knowing that the BIGGEST hurdle we have to face comes this Sunday. Go Bills. I want to see us at a ranking no higher than 13 if we beat the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Nick Saban = 851489[/snapback] Or Miami has beaten Chicago, Denver, Kansas City and the Lions (we didn't) over the past month. If the Bills can pull out a win over a quality opponent (e.g., San Diego this week) you'll see them move up and maybe even pass the Dolphins.

beausox Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Why worry about subjective power rankings? We are 5 & 6. I do not care if our final record is 10 & 6 as long as we make playoffs. That is the ultimate power ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
