DieHardBillsFan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This year looked like a favorable schedule but looking today at ESPN rankings our season has been a gift. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking...2008&week=8 Only 4 games the Bills play or played this year will be among the top 16 teams. Arizona the highest ranked at 8th. Playing ranks 24-30 and playing 26 twice (Dolfags) which is 8 games right there. Course in the end you have to remember the top team in the NFL always seem to have the easiest schedule but you also have to consider they gave most of those teams losses.

lets_go_bills Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Teams that we beat usually are gonna rank bellow you. Don't you get it? Only losing teams have their opponents ranked above them! Same for when they say our opponents have a losing record. That's because we handed them the loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did read all of my post right. Also, the Bills have only played 6 games and have 10 left. More then half and all the other teams we have not handed losses too... Yet.

lets_go_bills Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 What I said was in excitement, not critical of your post. I was just poking fun at the irrelevance of power rankings, fun as they are to read. Sorry you took that the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Saw an interesting take on this yesterday where a sportswriter said the Bills haven't played anybody yet and our home games were all against west coast teams -none of which have come to the east coast and won anywhere yet this year.. Also heard the NFL is considering making west coast teams playing on the east coast start at 4:00 p.m. as 1:00pm starts are a disadvantage to WC teams.. Same ole' blah blah, but with a twist.

The NFL should also start games where a northern team has to travel to a southern team, later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosuavea Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The NFL should also start games where a northern team has to travel to a southern team, later in the year. Then should southern teams play northern teams early in the year to avoid cold weather? Lets create more parity by eliminating any advantage created by climate and field conditions!

BillsWatch Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Make all stadiums identical domes for that matter with same layout for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Make all stadiums identical domes for that matter with same layout for that matter. And team colors will be red or blue, helmets with no logos. No names on the jerseys and we have a perfect system. As Major Frank Burns once said "Individuality is fine, as long as we do it together" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
