DCofNC Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 I remember a year starting off 5-1 with all the wins over joke teams and barely scraping by.. Trent Edwards was the bext Joe Montana and the Bills were a sexy team in the Power Rankings.. then reality hit.
4_kidd_4 Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 The only “power rankings” that matter are the W/L columns. People keep falling for the clickbait and then get all worked up about it, hook/line/sinker.

As far as taking care of the ball, then yeah maybe, even though 3 of them were quite flukey. I don't think that will be the norm. But set a new high in passing yards and probably completion percentage, as well. He didn't explode for 5 TD's like week 18, but there was definitely meat left on the bone point wise for this offense. He looked more comfortable in the pocket and for the most part, more decisive imo. I think good things are on the horizon for the guy. If Allen has another game or 2 like this past game, Bills wil be looking for a QB in 2020. IMO.
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Just so I am hoping a lot of us are on the same page, our defense was typically great, but Allen did lead them back from 16-0 in the third, and 11 points in the fourth and did score two TDs in the fourth, through the air and with his feet, with the pass being for more than 30 yards... So, in my personally opinion I don't view this like some of the nationals do that they won "in spite of Allen"...no...Allen was very much a part of why they won. It would have been nice not to have the turnovers have the game be a 31-8 score, but still.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 ...meaningless.....PFT's Florio has Bills at #18 yet both he and Smith picked Bflo this week vs G-Men.............. 18. Bills (1-0; No. 20): Bills fans should be contributing to Kaare Vedvick’s foundation.

Yeah, if he ends up being a turnover machine, then yeah I could see that. But 3 out of those 4 were pretty flukey, so I don't think that will end up being the case, hopefully.

Thats why I said every week he’s going to have to be incredible for people to start believing this team is foreal. Yep, probably. It just gets so old hearing the talking heads clinging to their pre-draft evaluations. It's as if they think players become static upon getting in the NFL. "Here's what they did at college... and that'll be it, they've peaked. They can't improve, they can't refine their skill set, they can't learn new things, they can't be a better player than they already are!" So lame. 1
Nextmanup Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Maybe I'm biased, but it feels like we should be ranked #1 after last week. 1
ngbills Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Rankings look right. Roughly speaking top 16 teams make the playoffs. We are right there competing for two wild card spots with the likes of LAC, TEN/HOU, PIT/BAL/CLE. We beat on ok Jets team. One that lost its best defensive player which was clearly a deciding factor.
