The Bills stumbled on the road again. They committed four turnovers in the fourth quarter, and QB Trent Edwards struggled for the first time. (TG)

Re: Bills drop to 6 in ESPN power rankings
I think 6 is more appropriate than 4 at this point. It's not necesarily too high--the teams behind us also have their issues. I think somewhere in the 6-10 range is about right.
Not that these rankings mean anything, but if you told me going into the season that we'd be ranked #6 as of Week 8, I'd have been ecstatic.Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

Re: Bills drop to 6 in ESPN power rankings
I would rank Dallas, Philly, Ariz, and NE ahead of the Bills. BTW, that still puts them in the playoffs. Probably as the #1 wildcard team.
TB, GB, and Chicago are very close to the Bills. (all NFC teams).
NO, SD, Cleveland, Indy are plenty capable of turning things around.
IMO, the Bills are one of the most balanced teams. The problem that I see is that they are not dominant on offense or defense. If either has a bad game (against a good team), the other unit cannot make up for it. If they play their best, they can beat most any team.
At this point, for the Bills to miss the playoffs (barring a collapse by the Bills), several teams would all have to improve immediately.
AFC East - NE or Buffalo
AFC North - Pitt
AFC South - Tenn
AFC West - Den or SD
The loser of the West is not likely to make the playoffs. That means two of these teams would have to pass the Bills - SD, Bal, Cle, Indy, Jac, Hou, NYJ, Mia. Only the Jets and Bal are within one game. Jac and SD have lost to the Bills.

Re: Bills drop to 6 in ESPN power rankings
Stop the run and don't commit turnovers = more wins against weak teams
What happened to this O-line? All of a sudden, Butler looks like an important piece to the puzzle. Peters is not doing his job to keep Edwards comfortable in the pocket.
A week after a virtually mistake-free game against a better team, the Bills dropped a turd in Miami.
People said our win over SD made our ranking legit. One of the other reasons for our high ranking was that we beat teams we are supposed to beat. So, does this loss bring us down equally?
The floor under our #6 ranking is pretty creaky.
