It was updated about a week ago before this sunday's game, note the sept. 25th date. The records obviously fill in on their own, authors notes do not.

[gr8slayer]

What's wrong with that?

[justasportsfan]

the bills are too high.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Until we convincingly beat a good team at its full strength, we still should be ranked lower than some of the top teams.

San Diego at home in 2 weeks here we go.

Still not at full strength :ill:

But it would be a good win and would be the best team we've faced to this point.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Still not at full strength :ill: You can tell the future two weeks in advance?

[gr8slayer]

You can tell the future two weeks in advance?
I can tell you that as it stands right now they aren't at full strength and have their fair share of injuries.

[justasportsfan]

You can tell the future two weeks in advance?
Merriman is out for the season.

[Mitchy moo]

It's funny we need to make excuses for winning. Teams last year didn't seem to mind winning against our injured team, so take that we didn't play a hard team BS to the trash. All NFL games are hard and the talent is always there.

[gr8slayer]

Merriman is out for the season.
Tucker got hurt last week and didn't return.

it's a little different when our team hasn't made playoffs in years and still hasn't proven to beat good teams , Skoobs. I'm just being caustiously optimistic.

[OpIv37]

Panthers are way too high in that ranking. You could argue that we're better than GB, but I'd call that a toss up. Overall, it seems pretty fair to me.

[BAM]

I'd say we're about #6-8 right now, probably ahead of Carolina and GB. Most likely ahead of Denver.

You're confusing excuses with analysis.

Yes, we've won games against teams that we've played. But how do we stack up against the other teams in the league that we haven't played? What was our level of competition compared to the level of competition for the other teams that are winning?

Taking all of the available information and trying to come up with reasonable power rankings has nothing to do with excuses.

Heck, put the Bills at the bottom of the PR's, because we are at the top of the standings.

[TacklingDummy]

Rankings should be something like this.

High Teams

Tenn, Dallas, NYG, Pitt

Middle Teams (Good)

Buffalo, Phil, SD, Den, Carolina, Packers, Skins, Colts, Pats, Cards, TB, Jags, Ravens, Saints, Jets, Bears,

Low Teams (Bad)

Raiders, St. Louis, Lions, KC, Bengals, Browns, Falcons, Dolpfins, Houston

Not sure about San Fran,Vikings, or Seattle.

That's a better way of doing PR's at this point in the season.

Not sure about San Fran,Vikings, or Seattle.tenn is beating teams they should beat. They are not far from us. After watching Ben almost get killed last night, I think we can beat them.

[patmoran2006]

GB, Denver and Philly should not be ranked ahead of us, period.
Either should Carolina.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Merriman is out for the season.
Sure, but every team has injuries. We're out Roscoe and McGee. We had 12 players on IR last year and we still heard posters *****ing about how we sucked and Jauron should be fired. Injury is no excuse.

[justasportsfan]

I was just pointing out they aren't 100%.

[yordad]

I think it is quite obvious I think we should be quite higher.

I wouldn't put Pittsburgh in the top tier.
I'd put the Bills and Chargers ahead of Pittsburgh at this point.

[Jeff1220]

Everyone keeps putting Dallas higher than Washington, yet the skins are on a 3 game winning streak - including a head to head victory in Dallas. Ranking mean nothing - show me playoffs!

[Griff]

uh, its the NFL, when do you ever play a team at full strength?

[ServoBillieves]

Someone needs to tell the NFL to make us play the Titans, Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Giants, and Cowboys the first 6 games of the year so we can tell "just how up to par" we are with the elite teams in the NFL.

Damn those teams who are full of professional players who apparently aren't good enough to play in the NFL! Damn them!

These past four games were just exhibitions I guess.

Here comes the hate mail … I know your Bills are 4-0, that Trent Edwards is the new Captain Clutch, the defense rocks, the special teams is special, yada yada … The Bills are good and getting better, just not enough yet for the Fab Five. They had perfect storm wins over the injury-savaged Seahawks and Jags at the time, survived the Raiders at home and had to come back against the 0-4 Rams. Consider full judgment withheld as the tests continue, but No. 6 ain't too shabby. Enjoy it. COOL STAT: Buffalo's 4-0 start comes against opponents with a combined 4-11 record.

It fills in automatically so the Bills are in 7th now, just behind Miami.

IIRC, we had 17 players on IR.

We we're 10th.

[zone]

No team in the NFL is hardly ever at 100%. A win is a win.

[jamze132]

ESPN has us 4th in the Power Rankings and nice little picture of Eli Manning and Trent Edwards on the front page.

Most places have us 3rd or 4th, so anything much better or worse than that is off.

[theanswer74]

Buffalo fans must be total *******s. How come so many journalist say they are going to get hate mail when they write something bad about the Bills?

Come on Buffalo, keep it classy.

Alot has to do with the way you're winning...come from behind to squeak by the Raiders and also had to come from behind last week.

[ServoBillieves]

I keep forgetting that we don't have our #1 LB on IR, our #1 CB is injured and our "Pro-Bowl" left tackle can't stop fitting cheeseburgers in his mouth while holding on to D-Lineman and costing us easy scores.

But jeez I must be blind and know nothing.

(pushes square block in to hollow circle)

[SABURZFAN]

I think it is quite obvious I think we should be quite higher.


i think it is quite obvious that you're usually wrong.
