Gulp... 4 in the Yahoo power rankings after one week😳

[Lenigmusx]

I haven’t posted in a while but reading the Bills at number 4 in the power rankings anywhere (Yahoo) is both amazing and terrifying. I have to believe that we are finally going to be expected to win week in and week out again. I think I have Buffalo Bills PTSD’s as this national media expectation really scares me. I do believe that the offense will get even better and the Jets D is better than it looked against us. That said as much of an optimist as I am I still need to see 4-0 going into the KC game. Are we a 12-4 team? I would really like to know if these power rankings scare anyone else.

This is going to be a rough year for that should get better as we're more consistent.

I still haven't gotten over Dr. Z picking the Bills in all four of their Super Bowl losses. The kiss of death.

I would not say that the power rankings scare me but when we do play better teams (and probably everyone is better than the Jets) if we get to a 12-4 record I would not be surprised if 6 or more of those games end up being determined by 3 points or less.  In other words not for the timid or those with heart conditions.

Im not too worried about the titans game after barely beating Denver last night. Additionally we bottled up Henry well last year.

[RiotAct]

Doooooomed

[Cruiserplayer]

It sure beats being ranked 28 and us debating that we deserve at least 25.

We also need their place kicker to miss four field goals this year.

Never knew that. After the second one though, and seeing that the Cowgals were such a powerhouse, not too hard to imagine.

Yeah man I really miss being ranked 24 and yelling at the computer that we don't get any respect.

[Mr. WEO]

Screw the national media!!!!

 

 

 

 

Oh wait....is this the updated script??  WTF?

 

GET ME THE RE-WRITES!!!!!!!!!

Lol, this is way better, It just feels like the prom date who’s the hottest girl in school kind of thing.

Titans kicker did miss few against us last year and it was a close game.

We expect you to be in stands with laser pointer even if you miss part of game being ejected.

Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Paris?

The roster is there.. draft after draft it will only continue to ferment more.. however our team lacks experience... i think we will do fine during the regular season but during the postseason we will need to see our young nuclei get some more experience under their belts..

I agree that power rankings are kind of silly - but it's fun to see us this high.  

 

I probably said it about a dozen times on Sunday:  this is the best & most balanced Bills team I've seen since the Kelly years.  And they're young - this core could keep us in contention for years.
