Virgil Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 2008 Power Rankings: Week 7 RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT 1 (2) Titans 5-0-0 It will be a huge surprise if they get burned looking past a trip to KC. But that Monday night in Nashville against the Colts looms large. (PK) 2 (1) Giants 4-1-0 I know this loss to the Browns will cause panic in some circles, but a team's going to have one or two howlers a season. Get it out of the way early. (MM) 3 (5) Steelers 4-1-0 The bye week came at a perfect time for Pittsburgh. Now let's see how good the Steelers can be when healthy. (JW) 4 (8) Bills 4-1-0 With so much wreckage at the top of the power rankings, the Bills' stock went up even though they didn't play. (TG) 5 (3) Redskins 4-2-0 This team didn't suddenly get bad overnight. I think they'll bounce back against a surging Browns team. (MM) 6 (4) Cowboys 4-2-0 Remember when we thought this was the best team in the league? Seems so long ago now. (MM) 7 (13) Buccaneers 4-2-0 Jeff Garcia is back as QB, but the Bucs are winning with defense, special teams. (PY) 8 (11) Colts 3-2-0 Colts could not have made a bigger statement than they did with dismantling of Baltimore. If that's a sign of things to come, it won't be long before they're back near the top of this list. (PK) 9 (14) Cardinals 4-2-0 Defense improved with Adrian Wilson, Bert Berry healthier. Steve Breaston, Tim Hightower impress on offense. (MS) 10 (6) Panthers 4-2-0 Panthers crumbled against Tampa Bay. (PY) 11 (16) Chargers 3-3-0 Are the Chargers ready to fulfill their promise? They looked unbeatable Sunday night against New England. (BW) 12 (7) Broncos 4-2-0 The Denver offense is one of the best in the NFL, but it can't make mistakes like it has in the team's two losses. (BW) 13 (12) Eagles 3-3-0 Why does everyone keep calling this the best 3-3 team in football? They didn't look particularly impressive Sunday against the 49ers. (MM) 14 (17) Jaguars 3-3-0 Considering what they have endured injury-wise and schedule-wise, the Jaguars have done well to position themselves for softer opponents after their bye. (PK) 15 (20) Falcons 4-2-0 No longer a fluke. The Falcons are for real. (PY) 16 (18) Jets 3-2-0 The Jets can make a move with their soft upcoming schedule. Beating the Bengals was first step in post-bye push.(TG) 17 (9) Patriots 3-2-0 The Patriots don't have an extra week to regroup from this blowout like they did their last one. Next up are the Broncos on Monday night. (TG) 18 (22) Saints 3-3-0 Drew Brees for MVP? Saints finally put it all together against Raiders. (PY) 19 (21) Packers 3-3-0 The Packers ran into a team more undermanned than they are in Seattle. (KS) 20 (10) Bears 3-3-0 The Bears have lost late leads in all three losses. Are they unlucky or unable to protect a lead? (KS) 21 (19) Vikings 3-3-0 Two narrow victories have brought the Vikings to a first-place tie in the division. Do they deserve it? (KS) 22 (25) Browns 2-3-0 The Browns are back in the mix after a big win Monday. Will this team live up to preseason expectations? (JW) 23 (15) Ravens 2-3-0 The Ravens are falling behind in the AFC. But the opponents get easier, despite 4 of the next 5 on the road. (JW) 24 (23) Dolphins 2-3-0 A heartbreaking loss to the previously winless Texans derailed the Dolphins, but they might be the most entertaining team in the league. (TG) 25 (24) 49ers 2-4-0 Defensive shortcomings have mystified the 49ers. How about featuring Frank Gore when protecting a lead? (MS) 26 (28) Texans 1-4-0 Finally, something to change the tone. They've got a chance to put together a little streak now. (PK) 27 (26) Seahawks 1-4-0 Mike Holmgren would have been better off taking that sabbatical this season. His team appears finished. (MS) 28 (32) Rams 1-4-0 Jim Haslett restores fire and attitude to the Rams. Rookie Donnie Avery picking up pace. (MS) 29 (27) Raiders 1-4-0 The Tom Cable era began with a forgettable performance. Is this what the Raiders are going to be like the rest of the season? (BW) 30 (29) Chiefs 1-4-0 The Chiefs are coming off their bye week. Did anyone notice they were gone? (BW) 31 (30) Bengals 0-6-0 Picking the Bengals' first win would make good office-pool fodder. (JW) 32 (31) Lions 0-5-0 A patented Lions move: Quarterback Dan Orlovsky steps three feet out of the back of the end zone for a safety -- in a two-point loss. (KS)
EndZoneCrew Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Remember when they said that the AFC was down...booooo to them!
SKOOBY Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 AZ looks better than many & is our only loss as well, so this was expected. 2008 Power Rankings: Week 7 RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT 1 (2) Titans 5-0-0 It will be a huge surprise if they get burned looking past a trip to KC.

GG Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Seriously, how can they rate Cardinals five spots below Bills?
Numark Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Seriously, how can they rate Cardinals five spots below Bills? how about because the media loves the buffalo bills!!!!!!!!
deep2evans Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Seriously, how can they rate Cardinals five spots below Bills? because theyre 4-2 and can't win on the road.
IDBillzFan Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Now that's what I call addition by subtraction.
BillsNYC Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I'd be happier if they had us back further, I'd rather not be talked about. Look at the crap the Giants are getting today.
Dan Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I told everyone... the Bills won the bye week. Go Bills!
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Did anybody else notice who it was that ranked us so high?
lets_go_bills Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 because theyre 4-2 and can't win on the road. and they play in the most abysmal and pathetic division in football.
GG Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 and they play in the most abysmal and pathetic division in football. And only played one game within that division...
bizell Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 nice, we get waxed by the cards and are still @ #4. woot.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 how about because the media loves the buffalo bills!!!!!!!! Stupid media bias--that's why I hate espn.
afl0226 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Also #4 on cbs sports not that Prisco has any clue what he is talking about. CBS Sportsline Vic Carucci doesn't seem as confident in us he has us as # 11 NFL .com
Orton's Arm Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Also #4 on cbs sports not that Prisco has any clue what he is talking about. CBS Sportsline Vic Carucci doesn't seem as confident in us he has us as # 11 NFL .com I respect Carucci's opinion a lot. I think he recognizes this team has serious problems--such as its offensive line, or lack thereof--which must be fixed before we're a legitimate top tier team.
DieHardBillsFan Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I'd be happier if they had us back further, I'd rather not be talked about. Look at the crap the Giants are getting today. Well be happy NFL.com has us at 11th
jarthur31 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I respect Carucci's opinion a lot. I think he recognizes this team has serious problems--such as its offensive line, or lack thereof--which must be fixed before we're a legitimate top tier team. True but how does he rank Dallas ahead of us still? Esp, the Broncos!!!!
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I respect Carucci's opinion a lot. I think he recognizes this team has serious problems--such as its offensive line, or lack thereof--which must be fixed before we're a legitimate top tier team. And so does the douche bag Dr Z. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...ek.7/index.html How the hell can he rate the Putrids and or any 3-3 team above the Bills?
BuffaloWings Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 And so does the douche bag Dr Z. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...ek.7/index.html How the hell can he rate the Putrids and or any 3-3 team above the Bills? Because they are the beloved Pats*, no matter who the QB is...and because the 3-3 Chargers dismantled said Pats* on national TV.
