SF Bills Fan Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 It always boggles my mind how Miami always ends up above us no matter how crappy they are and how good we are. Granted we are both crappy, but they are crappier.
maddenboy Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 We all know, Rankings of any kind serve 2 purposes. Clicks. Discussion by the author of each entry on the list, to incite discussion. And clicks. That is all.
QCity Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 20th isn't bad for a team that hasn't resolved the QB position.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 20th isn't bad for a team that hasn't resolved the QB position.Except they were the 13th best team last year....
FireChan Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Except they were the 13th best team last year.... And lost their starting QB. If Orton was still a Bill, I think we'd be ranked higher. Edited February 4, 2015 by FireChan
QCity Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Except they were the 13th best team last year.... Yeah, right....
Kirby Jackson Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah, right.... That's what the draft order says.
QCity Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 That's what the draft order says. Draft order has us 14th, and that doesn't get teams into the playoffs. There were 16 teams ahead of us in the standings last year, and that's even counting our "win" over the Pats in Week 17. So it really isn't an outrage that the 17th ranked team who just lost their starting QB is ranked 20th in a February poll.
ganesh Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 The Dolphins kicked our ass the last time we played them. Made us look like a joke. They have a QB, we don't case closed. +1. That game was a reminder of how we fell apart in the 2nd half.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Will you EJ haters PLEASE create your own thread and leave the rust of us fans in peace?
Pete Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) And lost their starting QB. If Orton was still a Bill, I think we'd be ranked higher. offense regressed 2014 from 2013 Edited February 4, 2015 by Pete
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) offense regressed 2014 from 2013 He won't listen. don't He'll argue King Orton had more passing yards ergo he's better than EJ. and the offense regressed 4 places after September in 2014 wait for it .... 3 2 1 Edited February 4, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
FireChan Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 offense regressed 2014 from 2013 Running game was half as productive.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 BTW The running game was "half as productive" because King Orton was slinging it too much! often that's because he's trying to play catch up after an all too ofter half dozen 3 & outs!

Deranged Rhino Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Then why did we average .5 YPC less? Because no team in the NFL feared the Bills passing game or offensive philosophy and were allowed to stack the box constantly. Orton scared no team, he showed flashes of capability but those were distant memories over the final stretch of the season when Orton was playing for a paycheck rather than to win. No heart. The guy is dead to me.

The guy is dead to me. Not pretending Ortob is great or even good, but it's not as though teams weren't stacking the box and daring our QB's to pass in 2013. They weren't afraid of Thad and company. All of this is irrelevant to the fact that the QB who was under center for the Bills first winning record in a decade is no longer on this roster. There is no way to entertain the notion that this does not make us worse next season.

I'd argue it's addition by subtraction -- plus, adding Rex in the wake of Orton and St. Doug leaving makes this team better, with or without Orton. This team somehow got better despite losing it's starting QB and head coach in the post season shuffle. That's not something that happens everyday, but it happened to our team for once and I'll take it.
