Bills demolish Panthers in first game out of bye week

‘The Bills bested the Carolina Panthers in a return-to-form showing for the team as they scored 40-points and held the Panthers to single digits. They are now 5-2 on the season as they chase the Patriots to reclaim the AFC East.’

Opinion: Simon: James Cook Was Definitely Cooking

‘Cook, who has taken his game to a higher level this season, was unstoppable. The offensive line opened up holes, the wide receivers and tight ends helped out with their blocking on toss plays but Cook was the difference maker. He either exploded through the holes or used cutback moves to get to those openings. Other times he used his speed to beat Carolina defenders to the edge.’

Carucci Take 2: Big win doesn’t necessarily mean Bills are back

‘Still, as comfortable a margin as the victory was, it did not necessarily make a resounding statement that the “Bills are back!” The game probably said more about the ineptitude of the Panthers and journeyman quarterback Andy Dalton, who became a starter after an ankle injury Bryce Young suffered last week, than it did about the Bills. Dalton set up two touchdowns and a field goal with an interception and a pair of fumbles (he had a third fumble that he recovered). Dalton also was sacked seven times while throwing for 175 yards.’

James Cook’s career day carries Buffalo to dominant victory

‘“James is playing outstanding right now,” quarterback Josh Allen added about his running back. “Our offensive line is giving him a lot of holes, but he’s making some unbelievable cuts and outrunning people. He’s doing what James Cook does.”’

Thad Brown: Bills look great in Carolina, but what did they prove?

‘Buffalo finished with seven different defensive linemen registering at least half a sack. The D-line played well, but not that well. A chunk of those sacks came thanks to excellent coverage courtesy a secondary featuring two rookies getting their first ever defensive play time. Max Hairston and Jordan Hancock seemed fine enough in their debut. Not spectacular, but no big mistakes either. Bills fans will sign up for an afternoon without repeated facepalms. It’ll require an all-22 film review to get a better handle on their performance, but the seven sacks and nine points allowed speak volumes.’

Bills wallop Panthers as Cook goes over 200 yards

‘James Cook led the way offensively for Buffalo, rushing for 216 yards and two touchdowns, while Khalil Shakir added a 54-yard receiving touchdown for good measure. Defensively, Buffalo was as strong as they have been all season long, sacking Andy Dalton seven times and forcing three turnovers.’
