https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-all-32-nfl-teams-by-training-camp-performance-ravens-steelers-among-the-top-five/

 

I know most sites like to over-rate the Cowboys...but the justification for the Bills 26th? Singletary fumbling problem, a team write 'gone rogue' and Josh Norman not looking good.  I know the author say they are based on how teams look in camp...but they also say they take into consideration how good the team is overall.

 

And how can you rank a team based on a couple weeks of training camp performance when very little actual footage/info is coming out of camps this year and no games are being played?

 

Hope this isn't a repost, I took a quick scan of current topics and didn't see it anywhere.

26. Buffalo Bills

It's fun seeing Josh Allen throw passes to Stefon Diggs, but lots to be concerned about here: Josh Norman's already buckling as a starting CB experiment, Devin Singletary's got a fumbling problem and ... the team's website writer possibly went rogue?

 

Well, I guess it was Chris Brown that put us in the basement - how f'n ridiculous.

Being that we beat them handily, and made the look bad on National TV, had a better record, and made the playoffs, and the cowboys did none of those things last season..., it is just more of the “it’s only Buffalo and they don’t matter” mentality coming from a sporting news outlet...  So what’s new there...?

 

Buffalo vs Everyone 

 

Go Bills!!!

NFL Preseason Network Rankings

 

1) ABC

2) ESPN

3) The NFL Network

 

 

 

26) CBS - Pretty shaky in their preseason ranking of teams. Lots of issues with their depth of announcers behind Romo. They actually have Kevin Harlan and Trent Green heading up their third team - a real red flag.

It's funny that his number 1 ranked training camp (Baltimore) acclaims a team who lost an all pro safety after a fight with a team mate. Yeah shouts out #1 to me. 

 

 Several of the excerpts are downright lazy. Tennesee- can't be higher because they haven't signed Clowney. Huh?

 

  Don't click on this article it's absolute trash. I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

All accounts are that the Bills have looked really good, well prepared, and firing on all cylinders in training camp. What has been bad about it?

Seriously, how do people not understand that like 60% of sports writing is 'bait tactics'

 

Write something ridiculous...get people to get upset then go link your article all over forums, social media, etc and drive up your traffic. 

 

Here's a crazy idea...if you think an article or writer is ridiculous, STOP. Don't share their stuff, don't talk about it. Their entire goal is to get you to talk about it so when you run here in huff, out of breath and sweating to post dumb sh*t....you're doing their job for them.

Always seemed to me Josh Norman was brought in as a see what he's got left back up. I don't recall Singletary's fumbling as being a big issue when the games counted last season (I could be wrong) and if we could find a trade partner for Chris Brown, maybe a 6th rounder we may be able to improve next season.

I understand what you are saying..but if that was true he would have the Cowboys ranked in the 20's....not a small market team like the Bills.  You want to get people upset and drive up your traffic, have the Cowboys and Pats ranked well into the 20's, and that will do the job.

Chris Brown apparently. Every time he breaks reporting protocol every opponent we are due to play this season gets a field goal headstart. It is in the new CBA.
