Buffalo handed New England its first shutout loss at home since 1993. Dennis Thurman's defense forced a stop on 11 of 12 third downs. Especially cool -- and we're going to go all micro view here -- was ILB Zach Brown's rendering of what quality individual defense is. How about this: 18 tackles ( 18!), a sack, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble? The only thing he missed was the pregame fight.

Rivermont Mike Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 @usatoday_nfl New Power Rankings: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/ Bills at #16 on the USA Today list Nice jump. If the Bills behave like a playoff team and win the games they are supposed to win (see: LA Rams, road-version 49ers), they might crack the top 10 with a 4-2 record heading into the NE game at the Cap. If they take LA lightly and lose, then we're back to "sky-is-falling-rex-sucks-rob-sucks-whaley-sucks" talk. The fact that they've shown up for work on an off-day suggests that some of the younger guys want a sniff at the playoffs before they get injured/traded. I'm a 50-year fan whose been down this road with a lot of you many, many times before. LA first, then we'll see what happens. GO BILLS! #billieve

GO BILLS! #billieve We have the Dolphins in Miami before that home NE game. We need to be 5-2 headed into that NE game, but it starts by simply going 1-0 this week.
Rivermont Mike Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 We have the Dolphins in Miami before that home NE game. We need to be 5-2 headed into that NE game, but it starts by simply going 1-0 this week. Whoops--that's why it seemed like I was short a game! I agree...1-0 this week. Then on to the next. Repeat.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 We have the Dolphins in Miami before that home NE game.

Buffalo Bills (2-2) - Previously: 25.I have no idea what's going on with this Buffalo team. I'm 1-3 trying to pick their games, and the one victory was a close one in Week 1 versus the Ravens.Because I can't figure out the Bills at this moment, I'll share a conversation I had with a friend of mine while watching the pre-game promo between the Bills and Jets, which featured Jim Kelly's daughters:
sullim4 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 When do flex games start? If both teams are 5-2 I could see Bills/Pats very flexed to Sunday night. The NFC East game of the week (PHI @ DAL) is at week 8. Forget it.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 @ESPNStatsInfo Updated NFL FPI Rankings for Week 5. Where does your team stack up? @JoeBuscaglia Joe Buscaglia Retweeted ESPN Stats & Info The #Bills are up against No. 29, 31, and 23 over the next three weeks.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 thought it used to be December, now they start earlier?? December?
Buftex Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 The NFC East game of the week (PHI @ DAL) is at week 8. Forget it. That, on top of the fact that we play then next week in Seattle MNF, I am happy with the 1pm kickoff for the Patsys. thought it used to be December, now they start earlier?? I think they did, week 8 if I am not mistaken.
IslandBillsFan Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Power ranking are always weird. I don't think the LA Rams are that good but 3-1 and 1st in their division has to be worth more than the 29th spot.
Big C Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Power ranking are always weird. I don't think the LA Rams are that good but 3-1 and 1st in their division has to be worth more than the 29th spot. The ESPN Power Index is something else, but I don't remember how any of it is calculated.
Captain Caveman Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Cardinals at 1-3 get beat by 3-1 Rams. What the hell.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 @McClain_on_NFL John McClain's Week 5 NFL power rankings https://t.co/gdwmAtc8b5 14. Buffalo (2-2) | Last week: 22 Nobody brags like Rex Ryan. He’s got bragging rights after beating Arizona and New England. Now he’s playing the Rams.
Gugny Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 whoa It's so early to determine how good a team is based on their record after 4 weeks. Can New Orleans, Arizona, Indy and Carolina really suck? Can the Rams really be good? I don't know. These power rankings, for the most part, are shots in the dark, IMO.
