Taking Rex Ryan's quote to the next level: Who are the NFL's best two-, three-, four-, and five-loss teams?

https://t.co/dgFtrrhjGb

The Rex Ryan Awards

There’s plenty of mediocrity across the NFL this season, but a few teams might be better than their records suggest. Who are the best two-, three-, four-, and five-win teams in the league?

Best Two-Win Team: Jacksonville Jaguars (2–8)

Head coach Gus Bradley is the main culprit, and Blake Bortles and his regression as a passer sure haven’t helped, but there have been brief glimpses of quality this season that hint at a team capable of stealing a few wins before it’s all said and done.

Best Five-Win Team: Buffalo Bills (5–5)
While the Ravens, Steelers, and Colts may have a better chance of making the postseason, the Bills are the most dangerous of the bunch. Why? They’re built to win late in the season for two reasons: They’ll run the ball all over you and they’ll get after your quarterback.

5 things to watch in Bills-Jaguars, which has become a surprisingly compelling game for a few reasons: http://trib.al/WeEXnge

 

Orchard Park, N.Y. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have foiled the Buffalo Bills' playoff hopes before, so Rex Ryan and company are trying to avoid a similar fate when the 2-8 Jaguars visit Orchard Park this weekend.

 

Rex has already called the Jaguars the best 2-8 team he's ever seen and heaped all kinds of praise on this foundering team with a dead man walking at head coach in Gus Bradley.

 

The Bills know the dangers of overlooking an inferior opponent, and given their razor thing margin for error, are doing what they can to protect against that in Week 12. Here's what to watch.

 

Turnover party for the Bills?

Will the Jaguars defense hold tough?

How will Shady McCoy and Sammy hold up?

Can the Bills' secondary handle the Jaguars receivers?

Revenge game?

 

@AdamRonis

#Jaguars TE Julius Thomas has been ruled out for Week 12. Find your 28 yards from a tight end somewhere else.

@JohnOehser

DEs Jared Odrick and Chris Smith, LB Dan Skuta and TE Julius Thomas out Sunday. Jaguars

@buffalobills

RB Mike Gillislee is OUT for Sunday. Harvin, Watkins and McCoy are questionable. #JAXvsBUF Rex on Watkins: "I think he's good to go."

@MatthewFairburn

Rex Ryan makes it sound as if LeSean McCoy will be good to go with the thumb injury.

@JoeBuscaglia

Robert Woods and Mike Gillislee are both out this weekend vs. the Jags #Bills

[r00tabaga]

Jags are out BOTH tight ends?? Wow. Kinda lessens the sting of having Bobby & Dizzy out.

Bring on the Floridians!

[26CornerBlitz]

Gillislee out, Watkins availability looks promising

Bills RB Mike Gillislee sustained a hamstring injury in Wednesday’s practice and left the session early. He didn’t practice again and is now out for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. The good news is it appears that Sammy Watkins will be able to play on Sunday.

 

“I think he’s good to go,” said head coach Rex Ryan of Watkins in relation to Sunday’s game. “He won’t have a full workload, but we’re definitely going to get him in there.”

 

OUT

WR Robert Woods – knee

S Robert Blanton – foot

RB Mike Gillislee – hamstring

 

DOUBTFUL

DT Corbin Bryant – shoulder

 

QUESTIONABLE

WR Sammy Watkins – foot

LB Lorenzo Alexander – ankle

TE Charles Clay – knee

OT Seantrel Henderson – personal matter

OT Cordy Glenn – back

RB LeSean McCoy – thumb

WR Percy Harvin – illness

Play 1 on Sunday: double move.

I have loathed the pansy asssed statements, that if he "feels" good.

 

double move !!

[26CornerBlitz]

@JoeBuscaglia

How much Sammy Watkins can you expect to see Sunday? That, plus more in my 5 #Bills roster notes heading into Sunday: https://t.co/UXcbrzVTWx

(WKBW) - The Buffalo Bills, fresh off their victory over Cincinnati, now sport a 5-5 record and are two games behind in the AFC Wild Card race. Up next the Bills have a game that they desperately need to win, considering the record of the opponent.

 

Up next for the Bills is a matchup with the 2-8 Jacksonville Jaguars, and it seems like the Bills are trending towards being healthy with two of their biggest players.

 

With practice wrapped up for the week, five Bills roster notes as we get closer to the game against the Jaguars:

 

1) Watkins is ready for takeoff

2) McCoy will play

3) Hamstring claims Gillislee’s availability

4) Harvin remains in question

5) Henderson’s absence raises questions
