2011 Week 5 Buffalo Bills NFL Power rankings compilation

The funniest comment comes from PFT, most accurate from Yahoo! and most sites have us at 9, highest is 9 and lowest is 12 after four games in the National Football League.

Foxsports:

12 (8)Ryan Fitzpatrick going without a touchdown pass against the 24th-ranked pass defense, and the Bills being outgained by the Bengals 458 yards to 273, could tell us something about this team. An imposing run through the NFC East in October will give us a better idea if the Bills are contenders or pretenders.

Yahoo sports:
10 (9) Let down game, sure, but losing to the Bengals definitely has a few Bills fans I know a bit concerned. It will be interesting to see how the team responds.

PFT:
10. Bills (No. 5; 3-1): Well, at least they won’t start 4-0 and then fall apart like they did in 2008.

ESPN:
9 (6)
The young Bills showed a lack of maturity with a letdown against Cincinnati.

You didn't think they were going undefeated, did you? Even at 3-1, they're a surprise.

Walterfootball:
9 Previously: #10 - Buffalo moving up after a loss is more of a product of two teams (Steelers, Jets) sliding down after two worse defeats. Pittsburgh is old and slow, while New York is a shell of its former self. Turning into a passing offense with a crap offensive line, two old receivers and mediocre (at best) quarterback may not have been the best decision.

By the way, forum member Swag Dynasty provided this quote by one of the Sunday NFL Countdown analysts (not sure who):

"The Jets aren't the Jets we're used to seeing; the Patriots aren't the Patriots from other years. This is why the Bills are ahead of both of them, those two are trying to figure stuff out and the Bills are just outdoing them."

I'm glad I wasn't listening because I may have suffered a brain hemorrhage.
