ganesh Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 power ranking 21178[/snapback] Until we prove that we can win games, the national columnists are going to keep us down below the 1/2 way mark.... Jets is a NYC team, so it is going to gets its hype.... The New Yorkers know that the Giants are not going to win any this year, so they are praying that the Jets be in the limelight...

ajzepp Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I think we're at LEAST better than the Jags, Jets, Broncos, Bengals, Cowboys, and possibly the Titans......but then again, we were 6-10 last year and we need to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 power ranking 21178[/snapback] My question is why do you think we're a better team, right now, than the Ravens, Vikings or Packers? What have we done to deserve being above those teams? We've made no major additions and those teams were all better than us last year. They're not going to give us props for a rookie head coach. Personally, this is what I want, to fly under the radar with no respect then surprise the hell out of people by seasons end. This team could end up being very very good (if it was indeed a coaching problem last year)...or it could be another 6-10 or 7-9 year...nobody knows right now, even Bills fans. I got all pumped up last season, I'll be a little more tempered this year and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Sorry guys but we are NOT better than the Jets yet. Despite the pillaging they took from the Skins. Here's hoping that all turns around this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Does anyone else get tired of the cliche "repeat" pick? You would think one year more than two or three columnists would have an original thought. Most irritating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightRider Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 After last year's high expectations, I'm glad. I think this team is the best since Home run throw up, but I think I'd rather sneak up on people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Nothing wrong with us being a low rank in these Power Rankings. No one played a game yet, they could rank us dead last and it wouldn't matter. Come to think of it, they don't matter during the season either. Until the NFL goes to a ranking system to determine the Championship like NCAA, I'm not gonna worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Will someone please remind me to give a stevestojan about these inane "power" rankings when they are used to determine playoff seeding, next year's schedule, or something at least halfway relevant?

You totally thought that 1) The Bills should be ranked higher, and 2) that people would support you on that. Didn't work that way.

JimBob2232 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 IMO this list is all hosed up. Detroit is better than #25, the cardinals will no longer be the worst team in the league, the giants are better than 28, the texans should be better than 26. The broncos are a strech at 10, the Aints at 13? This list is too much based on last season than it is on this current season. It doesnt matter though. We can be #32 in the rankings for all I care, as long as we are 10-6 I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ1 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 power ranking 21178[/snapback] Hey, I think they had us 22nd in their May rankings. Guess we did something right over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah, everybody in the country is an idiot except for the little frat house at TSW. 21436[/snapback] I think you could make a strong case, that any of the teams on this list #7-25 could flip-flop anywhere in the order. You have the elite teams (#'s 1-5) the truly bad teams (#'s 26-32) and all the other teams are kind of mix and match. This "power ranking" is as useless as the pre-season college football polls...

KRT88 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 why does this even bother you, or anyone for that matter? It's an opinion. Last year after two games we were ranked in the top 5 and what did it mean? NOTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
