10/26/25 GAMEDAY Bills at Panthers 1st Half game thread

Seems unfortunate that the Bills are going to be a “three yards and a cloud of dust” offense with Josh behind center … oh well, it is what it is. Just win this thing

Need to come out next drive same way. Attack.

 

Afraid Brady will turtle.

They have zero talent at receiver and everyone knows it 

 

none of those guys scare you at all deep, not a single player 

You're not wrong but I'm not sure how that's your take away from that drive. 

[JMM]

Beane HAS to make a move win or lose today. The lack of a true WR is almost criminal when you have Josh.

Nobody is getting open

Brady is taking  Josh a thoroughbred and turnin* him  into a trotter

Under cover of not wanting him to have to do everything and play hero ball. The real reason is that their WR room is inadequate.

Fire Brady now

This is just as much on Beane.  Execution is everything

Do we not have a slant blitz beater in the playbook?

Apparently not.

Like Olsen said- Carolina will sign up all day for these long/clock control drives.

No idea why we play offence like underdogs and try to shorten the game

[zow2]

Greg Olsen said it, you can’t continually need to go 10-12 plays to get a TD.  too much can go wrong. The chunk plays are missing and Allen isn’t helping much to be honest. 

[wppete]

These play callers have taken McDermotts personality. Soft, vanilla and basic. We need aggressive coaches. 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Was hoping they would have called a TO. They looked confused.

[TFBillsfan]

Can we allow our MVP QB to throw a pass more than 5 yards please! Ugh!!!!!

Did someone concuss Josh Allen? Because that sack is 100% on him

A guy coming untouched is all on Josh?  WTF?

I’m only watching on tv but the crowd sounds almost like a home game, bills mafia showing up 

I am here and can confirm.  Over 50% Bills fans for sure.

[Bangarang]

Maybe a 3rd down screen to Cook to beat the blitz would be an idea?

I don't remember Josh ever being taken down by a defensive back 

Believe they said that was their linebacker. Either way JoshHe was caged in like the Pats and Falcons did. He did not a lot of room to maneuver and the defensive player wrapped up well. No one able to get open on second down with all day to throw was the real disappointing down for me.

[4th&long]

Not one pad more than 5 yards beyond the line. Pathetic.

Would require Josh to adjust the protection correctly

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

I’m happy we deferred and got a 3 and out. Then scored points. Even if it’s 3, I’ll take it. The defense is what I am most worried about.
