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

[Blank Stare]

Looked like a Davis catch. Not that it mattered. 

[Jerboski]

They have zero talent at receiver and everyone knows it 

 

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

man that was an ugly sequence and what I was fearing. Typical clock consuming drive but we're settling for 3. Almost 8 minutes...

Waaaay too many plays, because NOBODY gets separation!

Glad we're ready for the freaking blitz after 2 weeks...

Yep and we'll keep seeing a heavy dose with the film that shows our inability to handle it

[Ray Stonada]

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

[EssexBill]

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

Had a bye week and this offense still couldn't figure out how to read a blitz. Ugh. 

[Koufax]

What an awesome we-fixed-it drive to start and then the facepalm three and out sequence where Johnson, Davis, Sack is the way we try to get 10 yards.

I dont understand what Ty Johnson lined up outside offers.

Helps read zone vs man coverage. Other than that I agree.

[Bangarang]

There used to be a time when defenses never dared to blitz Josh because he would carve them up. Now it's all they do because our receivers can't get open and our OL can't pick them up. A recipe for diasaster

[TheFunPolice]

Panthers are a lot tougher this season than I expected.

 

We did some nice things in the run game but we cannot push the ball downfield in the passing game

Why was Cook on the sidelines for three straight plays?

I think he got a little banged up on his last carry

[BillsFan130]

Still 0 passing game

Offense is s complete skidmark now. Great work, McBeane.

His $50M a year QB is completly whiffing on his protection calls. That's not on coaching or GM at this point. That was a basic slide that Allen whiffed on

[stlbills13]

Offense coaching didn't change in the bye 

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Would've liked to the touchdown there....but not a bad start. Deferred and stopped them 3 and out on "D"...and then got some points on our first possession. 

[Uncle Stucky]

Cook averaging 9.25 yards a carry on that drive. Let’s move away from the run game 🤷‍♂️ Run it until they stop it. 
 

Can someone defend this for me?

We are the only team that takes out the good players 

It's perverse. Brady especially is prone to sit Cook when he's doing well, especially if he's the only one doing well. He rips off a 12-yard run, and the next play is (wait for it) a wide receiver screen. He took it to an extreme the last two games.

That is on the QB.  He has to alert the linemen to it.  Slide protection.
