Wow, that just seems a bit over the top...

 

Highest scoring offense in the league & we beat one of the best teams in the league after being down 21 points ? That's the very definition of power, it's imposing your will when you want something.

I still think Peter King had the best one. #7 is very gracious IMO. This is too high. Waiting to see what PFT has us at today.

This is too high. They may get there in time but it is too soon to put them at #2.

 

 

I agree that it is too high. When you go to NFL.com they have twelve different "experts" with their rankings. Lowest was #8, Highest was #3, averaged out they were 5.5 which I think is pretty accurate 5 or 6 is where I'd put them. I was just trying to point out these were the same clowns at BleacherReport that at the beginning of the year had us ranked 32nd in the league and a sure-fire team to win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.

A sportswriter in Houston had us #5 BEFORE the New England game.

It's amazing we're ranked between #3 and #8. People are jumping on the Bills bandwagon awfully fast.

 

Btw, in the NFL.com scoring system (combining the rankings of their 9 'experts'), the Bills are tied for the Pats for #5. Only the Packers, Saints, Lions and Ravens are in front of us.

Pretty bad list. Jets at #8 ahead of the Raiders at 14, who just beat the Jets' arse?

 

It seems like all of these "rankings" cling to previous seasons' results for the first few weeks of the season.

again i'd prefer to have teams underestimate the bills. the media hasn't shown respect to them and they are playing with a chip on their shoulder because of it.
