Not saying the Bills have a good run D, but here are some reasons they're not as terrible as their #32 ranking.

1. 12 teams have only played 5 games, the Bill have played 6. Thats an entire games of rushing stats missing for those 12 teams.

2. The Jets just rushed for 309 on them. Alot of which was two break away runs by Thomas Jones. A 309 yard game will skew any ranking.

3. The other two big rushing performances allowed - gave up 190 to New Orleans, gave up 200 to Miami, were both in blowouts. Rushing stats compound in blowout games.

I still think we have a good day on the ground since it appears to be the only way we can have a good day. I still think Buffalo is a suspect run D. I just don't think they're as bad as the #32 ranking indicates.

Yeah, these rankings are almost always a little misleading, especially this early in the season. You have to factor in the opponents too and how they like to play offense, because some teams are just set up to run the ball more anyway. Miami is a perfect example, because they firmly believe in that wildcat running game, and the Saints passing game is so good that you can't load up the box, which is opening up their running game big time right now.

We are that bad, their is nothing to worry about fellas. Thomas "i'm average" Jones ran for 200+ on us, Jamal Lewis ran for 120 on us, nuff said.
