without seeing the formula from which these rankings came from the initial elephant in the room to me, in the afc, is the ravens.... 5th best shot? really?

 

seems to me they've been trending downward since 2012. i mean, i remember thinking when they were 3-0 last year that they were one of the least impressive 3-0 teams ive seen in a long while and then they only got worse.

 

and color me a homer, but werent we within a game of the playoffs all the way into week 16? and yet the bills are ranked that low? debatable i'd say.

Like I said I dont want to dismiss it......but I wonder if these formula's incorporate the fact that the defense is about to make a scheme change back to when it was 5th best in the league.

 

I totally understand the veteran losses being incorporated into the formula

god the afc east is lousy.

 

I wonder if the Patriots* even bother game-planning for their AFCE opponents. They probably take a day, then start planning for the following week's opponent.

i'm assuming scheduling and other things go into it as well.... regardless. we were in the hunt all the way up until a week 16 loss and the ravens werent scaring anyone.

looking at the schedule I think 5% is more realistic. I think after the first 7 games were more likely talking about
Sam Darnold rather then the playoffs.

 

Jets

at panthers

Broncos

at Falcons

at bengals

Bucs

Raiders

at Jets

saints

At Chargers

at Chiefs

Patriots

Colts

they probably just require the guys to show up at the stadium 30 minutes before game time.

Jets (you really think we cannot beat this team)

at panthers (maybe a loss)

Broncos (have not been good...who qbs this team)

at Falcons (loss)

at bengals (these have always been competative and we beat them last year win)

Bucs (they might have accumulated players in the offseason....but they were AWEFUL last year....win)

Raiders (Loss)

at Jets (win)

saints (win)

At Chargers

at Chiefs

Patriots

Colts

After 7 game im my opinion I think we are actually having hope for the season

I predict Brian Burke has a 14.5% chance of making it through the next round of pink slips handed out at the ESPN office.

I wonder if the formula takes into consideration that literally every team has changed since last year and none have played games this year? :beer:

No way. Ernie Adams is probably in a hyperbaric chamber right now resting up for this season's 19-0 run. Minus a redonk catch by a guy who never played another game in Tyree, they'd have that record already.

Well he could wait until after week 17 and just tell us who's in. B-)

If you thought the Bucs were awful last year (and they weren't, BTW) what did you think of the Bills?

Belichick and Patricia fill in 35 starting spots with the B-list of itinerant laborers they recruited that week

most teams fans would argue that the O, D and special teams are going to revitalize to the best they've been in 3,000 years
