    Bills up to 10th in ESPN Power Rankings

    Amazing thing is that the Bills have gotten 18 touchdowns from first year players (obviously, I am counting McGahee as a first year).

    That's about where we should be. No team in this league wants to play us right now.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

        Maybe it's just me, but I do not feel we are a top 10 team. Top 15, maybe, certainly not top 10!

        Try not to mistake our recent success as making us a challenger! We beat some REALLY bad teams! (Miami, Cleveland, Arizona to name a few). Until we beat a team with a winning record, I wouldn't get too excited.

          I agree although we have gotten better , the hawks and Rams are pretenders and the Browns and fins suck. We could very well be pretenders making a run as well.

              Here are some other rankings:

              NFL.com ---> Bills dont even crack the top12!!! (Carruci is a dumbass)

              CBSsportsline ---> Bills rank #12
              Pete Prisco: "It's hard to believe this is the same team that opened 1-4. The defense is playing well and the offense is coming alive"

              FoxSports ---> Bills rank #11
              "Some might be shocked at ranking Buffalo this high, but the Bills are averaging 39 points a game the last three weeks now that the coaches have figured out how to protect QB Drew Bledsoe. First-year players RB Willis McGahee and WR Lee Evans are breaking out.

              I actually do believe we should be ranked at around #10 or #11... Look around the league and try and list more than ten other teams that are better than us.

                  Denver, Houston, Carolina, how do you figure them to be definitely better than us?

                    Not sure what your rating methodology is, and Carolina and Houston are fine teams, but don't see how they classify as definitely better then the Bills. Carolina is on a nice run and you can make the argument, but Houston? They are not playing as well as they did early in the season. Vikings are in a tailspin as well.

                    Guess we will know about Cinncinati this weekend.

                      As for Houston... they have either beaten, or almost beaten some VERY good teams (San Diego for 1). They played Indy close this weekend too!

                      Carolina has been playing spirited football even though they lost 22 starters either due to FA, trade, or injury since last years SB.

                        Not that it matters, but Houston lost to SD in week 1. They have beaten KC, Oakland, Tennessee x2 and Jacksonville.

                            Seriously. Denver has been playing like crap lately, Houston? What is their record? Carolina has been playing well with injuries but that is just another reason why they are not definitly better than us.

                              I give Carolina a lot of credit for what they have been able to do. 3rd string RB their biggest weapon on offense is out, they are still playing good football. John Fox and Co.
                              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                              "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                              You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                              It was all
                              true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                              He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
                              mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
