Game week thread - Bills at Panthers (Game week preview on pg. 18)

[Steptide]

Reading some stuff from panthers fans on Twitter, they think they have a really good chance to win Sunday. They all know how bad the defense and tackling has been. Kinda surprising to me honestly. Even bad teams fans are starting to not see us as a threat. I realize the panthers are 4-3, but hard to believe they're legit contenders

On the bright side, I was listening to the drive time afternoon show on WFNZ in Charlotte coming home from work today. The hosts were talking about how bad the Bills crowd advantage might be on Sunday, and they plus almost all of the Panthers callers universally agreed it's going to be a massive Buffalo takeover.

   Mac and Bone on  CLT morning radio are fun. This poor town has suffered immensely under Tepper and this is the first time in over half a decade they have a glimmer of any hope. The Panthers are on the up…. Good for them.

   I watched the game this weekend and the Jets run D and S.Gardner alone make them better than our D. They held the Panthers backs on check and their pass rush kept the passing game from working well. 
   If I were to bet, I’d put my money on Buffalo but not by much. 
   If the Bills team we’ve seen for most of this season shows up, they are losing this game. I don’t expect that but this game is going to tell us who’s right and who isn’t in regards to this “ every year slump” theory.

Tepper is exactly what they deserved, though.

 

The fanbase ran Richardson out on a rail. Tepper is pure hot garbage and it's wonderful.

I’d prefer if the Bills face Young over a vet like Dalton.

If the Bills play like they did against the Pats and Falcons, it could be a tough game.

This seems like one of those things we say right. Wrote buffalo doesn't take advantage of it. Ravens, Miami  and were supposed to be taken advantage of and that didn't really happen. NE was supposed to be a Kincaid game and it DID work but we didn't take advantage of it. Instead they ran out of the large personnel  mostly.

I agree (as do most Bills fans I think) but ironically here in Charlotte, they feel the exact opposite. As bad as our defense has been at times I'm not remotely scared of Bryce Young. Just put Epenesa, Rousseau, Jackson et al out there on passing downs and put your hands up lol

I appreciate the dedication. You aren't the hero TBD expected, but you are the hero that TBD needs in these divisive times. 

[Big Turk]

This injury list after a bye is just absurd. What were these players doing on their break? Clearly not getting treatment that's for damn sure.

Just stay away from Franklin. Something ain't right in that area...

I was reading Panthers fans comments on the PFF YouTube channel preview of the Carolina vs Buffalo game ( they also give good reason not to throw to Keon anymore on it) 

 

Most comments were Carolina fans saying the Bills lost to the trashy Falcons who they beat so they expect to demolish the Bills. Because you know the whole transitive property thing works so well in the NFL. 
 

I just laughed about it.
 

Carolina could win, but if Buffalo is worth their weight in self scouting their own problems they have had, then they should come out and win that game by double digits, especially after a bye week. 
 

Guess we will see if McDermott learned as much as the fans have and if he will have a better game plan,

along with Joe Brady, to actually have the over 30 ppg Bills offense show up.

If Josh goes back to playing like Josh, then we win every game irrespective of how our defense holds up.....The last games, we failed to put up 30 points and that was the difference between victory and loss.

With what we've shown over the past 2 games, it's hard to believe we're legit contenders either.

 

If I were a Panthers fan and watched the Falcons do what they did to us, down 2/3 of their Top 3 WR's, and knowing that the Panthers shut them out 30-0 when the Falcons were healthier - I'd be feeling good about their chances too.

[DaVinci]

the receiving core just may very well be the same as the Atlanta game

 

Palmer -out

Kincaid-limited on Wednesday

Samuel -limited as well

They better get Cook more involved in this Offense.

We won’t know for sure until they tell us but he’s out of the red no-contact jersey he was in 2 weeks which is promising.
