[Hebert19]

This has never happened to my knowledge.  Now we need to prove it this week.

Don't mind the team receiving some attention but this is borderline worthless until we show that we can beat the Chiefs.

Great, now we are definitely about to go on a losing streak

Chargers at 9 is absurd. They’ve got 2 big time wins and they’re only loss is a self inflicted one vs a 3-1 cowboys squad.

Power rankings aren’t “borderline useless”…they are 100% of the time useless. 😉

Why do people get so annoyed about power rankings? 
 

It’s decent to discuss and we all understand it’s not a “real” ranking.

i just don't think buffalo has played anyone hardcore enough to be considered the best team at this time.  that's not a knock as you can only play the teams on your schedule, but these next two games are big.  that being said, even dropping these games wouldn't be the absolute end of the world.  i assume it would definitely mean losing the one seed, but you never know.

I’m a huge Bills fan and I’d still say we’re probably 4/5 in the league. 

[strive_for_five_guy]

Even against subpar competition, they’ve been that dominant.  Now just have to prove it against our new nemesis this weekend.

Good thing is this has a chance to stay...

Long way to go obviously but IMHO the top dogs in the AFC are the Chiefs, Bills, Browns. Other teams will be in the mix like Ravens, Chargers, Raiders. The Broncos got exposed this past weekend as pretender. In the NFC basically its the Bucs, Rams, Cards as the top 3. Dallas is looking good but the division they play in is WOOF. The same could be said for the AFCE this year as well. The Packers and Seahawks should be in the mix. Should make for interesting races in both conferences.

AZ is probably #1, beating handily 3 solid teams (including a beatdown of the Rams sunday).

 

How are the Charges unchanged at 9??

Ravens, Chargers and Raiders better than the Browns right now.

from playing against backup qbs the past three weeks to playing two teams in a row that whipped us x 3 last season...will the real Buffalo Bills please stand up...

Can't remember ever being number one but I do recall being number 32 a few times

Rankings only matter in college 

[gordong]

You mean we don’t automatically win the super bowl because of these rankings?!  Thanks for letting us know. 

[Jobot]

Pretty sure the reporters that come up with these meaningless ranks just look for ways to have as many teams as possible be #1 for a week.

 

1-KC

2-AZ

3-LA rams
4-Bills

 

^Realistic ranks

[nedboy7]

I think the main takeaway is the fan base is not comfortable being #1 yet.  Too much PTSD and self doubt.

It is borderline worthless even if we beat them 😀

 

Maybe not even borderline.
