ieatcrayonz Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I noticed he actually moved the Bills down a couple spots after their win over Jacksonville. I know that Jacksonville isn't the world's best team, but come on! It wasn't like we won that game on some last second fluke. The offensive line looked fairly competent in pass protection and good on run blocking, Fred Jackson looked amazing, Trent Edwards is the fourth-rated QB in the NFL over the first two weeks of the season. I know that last stat is likely to slip a little as he faces some better defenses, but still. Alex van Pelt is clearly worlds better than the man he replaced. The defense did a decent job of pass coverage, and a strong job at stopping the run. Moving the Bills down?!?! We beat Jacksonville too? Are we 2-1?

ChasBB Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 What a Joke, not that it really matters but 23? Thoughts? http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/article/20...s-await-broncos They can put Buffalo at 32 if they want. I don't really care. I like this team. The bottom line is that UNTIL this team beats a few DIVISION opponents, they won't get much respect. Moral victories don't count in this business -- it's about WINS and until Buffalo can prove that it can beat the Patriots, the Jets, or even the Dolphins, respect will not be forthcoming. 0-6 in the division last year says it all. This is a new year and I do not believe that will be repeated, but until Buffalo walks off the field with a win against a division opponent, it's status quo.

Orton's Arm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We beat Jacksonville too? Are we 2-1? Oops. Meant our win over Tampa. I need to get more sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I really care about this poll because it has such a profound effect on my life, I'm thinking about trying to care a little less, but it's really hard, really really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 a good(mediocre team) that TSN has rated at #7 despite the fact that they should be 0-2. The fact of the matter is the Pats are overrated and the Bills are underrated Good or mediocre, the point is that the Pats* won and the Bills lost. 23 is about right for where they were last season and for what little they have proven this year.

Thurman#1 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I am not big on power rankings, at all. But how do they rank at 21 last week, and move them down to 23 after they win? Because the team we beat is genuinely horrible. It proved nothing is the line of thought. Those two teams proved something, which is why they jumped up. It wasn't so much us falling back as two teams moving ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
