Steelers and Browns are very reasonable to have above Buffalo IMO. Tampa and Jacksonville are at least debatable, though I would personally have Buffalo ahead of them. The ones that I mentioned I don't think have any reasonable case. 1

Personally I think we will beat the Steelers both in the head to head match up & in overall record. I think the Steelers are a once very talented team in the midst of their decline.
Ta111 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Since you can only rate based upon what each team has actually done thus far, there is no way you could conceivably put Piit and CLE above the Bills. They were both putrid. The games aren’t played on paper. Of course, these “rankings” don’t mean much other than fan banter.

Buffalo Bills If you liked the Tim Tebow experience, you’ll love what’s going on in Buffalo. Josh Allen threw two picks and fumbled twice yesterday. He also won the game. QBWINZ! This take is closer to eight miles high. how many of these still rank the Jets higher I wonder.

You can't make rankings based on paper. It's got to be based on actual evidence - what we've seen. And we saw both Cleveland and Pittsburgh (albeit by New England) get beat by 30. We also watched the Bills hang in and claw their way back into a game and come from behind to win. 1
Alphadawg7 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I think a fair ranking for the Bills would be anywhere from 15 to 21, all depending on how you took the game in. Anything above 15 is premature, and anything worse than 21 means you haven't paid that much attention to this team or probably didn't actually watch the game and just wrote based on predetermined bias. 3
freddyjj Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I have to laugh at some of the 26th or 27th rankings. Some real paper tigers rated above them like ATL, DET, WAS, CIN, OAK for sure. Time will tell. Just keep stacking wins early.
nedboy7 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 This is just mind numbing. Appreciate the post however! 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Thanks for putting together post and to see us below some bad loss teams is stupid but those that have us between 16-20 make the most sense. I would put us at low end of winners since it was so ugly.
colin Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 in general i agree with alphadog, but while that was an epic road win, the mistakes by the O, and allen in particular, were pretty god awful until about half way into the third quarter. i think we have it in us, but the bills just have to improve and be more consistent to show they are a better than 500 team. i know we will be a better team at the end of the year than we are now, but the oline, the wrs, and especially josh need to clean it all up. i'm still excited for the team and expect another road win on sunday.
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Meh, these are what they are. These guys can't watch every game before these things are published. How can this every be a fair assessment?

Bills4Ever4Life Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 can we just have a new thread instead of combining this one from week 1. Or at least update the OP so it has all the new rankings? Don't feel like delving through a bunch of pages (which will eventually show up) to get to week 2 or week 3 rankings

But whoever makes whatever posts or threads, thank you! I enjoy reading them but dislike having to search for them. 1

The number 30th and 31st ranked teams in the league? Hell, even this week they o my play the 26th ranked team. But it at least they put us at 9 with the rest of the 2-0 teams and didn’t put a 1-1 team ahead of us.

I think they are correct that we are the worst of the 2-0 teams (so far....journey has just begun ;)). I just read another power ranking that had us at 24th still. I just couldn't understand it.

It’s because we’re buffalo and the national media still hates us. They will still hold on giving us any credit until we’re winning the division or something.
