How does a team with a pro bowl RB and likely 2 Pro bowl receivers on offense, and the 2nd best defense last year start out as #14 in the power rankings?
Buffalo ended last year as one of the best 10 teams in the league, since the NFC playoffs was filled with scrubs. The only NFC team better than Buffalo last year was the Eagles.
Buffalo detroyed teams like Seattle, St Louis on the road which were considered the NFC's strong teams. While scrubs like Green Bay, Carolina (last year) and the Saints all teeter on the bubble with 500ish records.
Buffalo did do this is the obvious best division in football.
Then they get placed at #14 and ahead of Buffalo is a chiefs team that finished 7-9, a rams team that Buffalo destroyed last year and ended up at 8-8, a panther team, that may be solid and healthy but hasnt shown anyone anything, and a jets team we split with.
8 wins in the last 9 games and the #2 (now #1) defense in the NFL, and 3 likely probowlers on offense (evans, moulds,magahee), and this gets Buffalo put right in the middle of the league?
AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS LOSMAN, keep in mind nothing could be worse than the fumbling puss statue that bledsoe was last year.
Maybe not the best team yet, but clearly our defense makes da Bills a top 10 team that should be getting mentioned in the "chasing the pats" conversations, instead of the never-producing jets.
If not for Chris Buhrman we would get absolutely no love at all in the media.
