Buffalo Boy Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Woke up to a nice surprise this morning. Yahoo Sports has us ranked # 4: Ahead of Seattle, Green Bay, Pittsburg and San Francisco NBC Sports has us ranked #6: Ahead of Pittsburg and Green Bay PFN has us 12: Typical “ Josh Sucks” Dreck Watching the Steelers last night, I thought they looked good on both sides of the ball. It’s only one game but Ben’s arm looked good. Being ranked ahead of them and Seattle in two ( albeit clickbait) power rankings is a step in the right direction. It is a sign that some are starting to take the whole team, including Josh, seriously. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/nfl-power-rankings-should-there-be-any-concern-about-jimmy-garoppolo-and-the-01-49-ers-053847579.html https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/nfl-power-rankings-2020-week-2-standings-all-32-teams-league https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-2020/2/ https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-2-packers-vault-into-top-three Edited September 15, 2020 by Buffalo Boy 4 1

Win on defense and ask him to make just enough big throws 3

Rochesterian Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Power Rankings in general are a bit of horse hockey, more so this early in the season. We won't have an idea of who is good and who isn't until October, until then this stuff are glorified puff pieces. 2
r00tabaga Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Of course PFT has Dallas at #7..... higher than the Rams who beat them Sunday LOLOLOLOL- 2
SoCal Deek Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) One week at a time people! The Bills need to take care of business in Miami on Sunday. After that, their season starts for real with a schedule that isn’t stacked in their favor. In years past the Dolphins game would be a loss we’d all look back on and say how did that happen? This year’s Bills need to take the game seriously and put Miami away early while keeping their foot on the gas! Edited September 15, 2020 by SoCal Deek

Just in Atlanta Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Not quite ready to put us at No. 4 but Josh Allen passed my eye test. He picked that defense apart, looked poised, hung in tough and is starting to get rid of the ball quicker. The focus on the fumbles and missed pass are a little ridiculous IMO. Every QB makes mistakes on any given Sunday. It's like pundits are saying, "see, I told you two years ago Allen sucked. He fumbled twice! Disregard the 300 yards of quality yards." 1 1
P Riv Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 After 4 games in, we'll have a pretty good idea who everybody is. I think we know who the Jets are though. lol 1 1
aristocrat Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Ben hasn’t played in a year and just threw for 3 tds. If he gets better they’re the team to beat. 2

Both teams looked sloppy and slow to me. The giants looked horrible.
gonzo1105 Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Every year the Steelers defense gets propped up like its super special. I remember laughing my ass off last year as the Patriots shredded them and embarrassed them on opening night. The problem is the Giants are a team that plays right into what they do well. They have a great front 7 who can stop the run(which they did), the Giants have a terrible offensive line, and they have very few weapons on the outside to force the Steelers to back up a little bit. Plus the QB is still a question mark. I'll wait until they play a team with weapons on the outside, cause everytime that happens, the Steelers lay an egg on defense.

Big Ben is coming off a major injury but they have a ton on weapons and a top 5 defense. They will be really tough this year. 2

ALLEN1QB Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I really don't get into those power rankings mostly a popularity contest.

I think the accuracy has improved so far as well. I mean besides that overthrow to Knox in the EZ, but sometimes that stuff happens. Josh seemed very poised and knew exactly where the ball was going. Much better command of the field! Again one game, but very promising.

Win on defense and ask him to make just enough big throws I caught the end of the first half and first part of third Quarter. I watched the Steelers d line pushing the Giants around and Ben looked good on the scoring drive from 9-16. I hope you are right. I think our matchup will have Bigtime playoff seeding implications and admit to still having an inferiority complex with the Steelers. 1 hour ago, Rochesterian Bills Fan said: Power Rankings in general are a bit of horse hockey, more so this early in the season.
