ah- it says the rankings aren't based entirely on this year's stats- that would explain why we're ranked so high.

This is the only ranking that matters: Dolphins 2-1, Bills 1-2

I saw an interesting statistic as well: 32nd ranked rushing defense....do you know what team that is? :lmao:

Ah yes, we are based partially on our strong postseason finish last year. That, coupled with our strong start this year explains things very clearly.........

It's actually a pretty interesting ranking system, if you read the details. At the moment, 2004 performance and their preseason outlook factor into the rankings, but that will fade out by week 8.

There's also a '2005 only' column that only uses this year's games - Buffalo 15th (Miami 8th, Patriots 14th, Jets 24th) - although since the rankings are based on a formula rather than subjective judgments, that too can be a little skewed early. (No, Miami doesn't deserve to be ranked above the Pats.)

Still, I like this page because there's no "bias" involved.

It's only week 4 - too early to salvage a little solace by living in the past, don't you think?

um yeah- your team is coming off of the low point in franchise history, and for this season you've one a whole 1 game more than we have. A little early to be talking trash, don't you think?
