Mile High Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Below. This is from the latest Dr. Z ranking. What is he talking about in the last sentence or two? I was guilty of a flippancy and I wish to apologize. I wrote that J.P. Losman's job is just not to screw it up for the defense. This is not true. Against the Texans, they emptied the backfield on the first play of the game, spread the field with five receivers, and he completed a pass. He hit his first five tosses on the drive, which set up a field goal. Next possession he accounted for all the yards, 47 passing, eight running, to set up another fielder. Sam Wyche, the 60-year old QB coach, says he worked harder with Losman than he had with any other guy under his command, and it sure showed, no matter what some wiseguy journalist might write. "Fielder," incidentally, was a term I read in a Walter Camp book at the turn of the century. I kinda like it. Anyway he's got two teams ahead of us which lost this week not to mention the Dolphins.
nick in* england Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 ESPN and CBS are dead on. Fox are on crack. Dr Z just likes to hate on us... The fins above us? Jeez Louise!
JasoninMT Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Yahoo Sports ranks us #11. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-r...=yhoo&type=lgns They have the best defense in football, hands down. If J.P. Losman can limit his mistakes and Willis McGahee can stay healthy with a diet of 25 carries a game, this team could give fits to the AFC elite.
eball Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 a ranking of the bills in the 10-15 range makes perfect sense right now. anything higher or lower than that and the survey is markedly flawed.
BuckeyeBill Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 That #3 ranking almost made my jaw drop. I think that right now we should be ranked about 10th... if we beat Tampa Bay decisively... then I can see a top 5 pick... but not 3 already.
