Haven’t scrubbed through this thread, but has anyone mentioned the clutch tackle by Hancock on Dowdle’s 24 yard run? If Hancock was Rapp, Dowdle scores on that play, but because the stop was made we got a turnover on that drive to negate points.
 

Poyer played 45/54 snaps, but I’d like to see Hancock on the field more and not just on some passing downs here and there.

Good call out. If that was Rapp or Poyer back there, it's probably a house call by Dowdle

I think they are getting Hancock up to speed slowly while Po anchors it for now. I’m in agreement that they should just put the rookie in and get the snaps now

I also like that Hancock has 4.4 speed, we need more of that especially at safety and corner, seems like we’re finally getting it.

They sure shut the haters up. Not!

 

- Vs. washed up QB Andy Dalton

- Panthers is known that they couldn't stop the run. Just like us.

 

Great to get the win though. Got to get the next one vs. Chiefs on Sunday to truly make up for our recent back to back losses.

Isn’t this take completely false? The panthers were a top 5-10 run D from the talk all week

The Panthers allowed an average of 44 yards per game rushing over the last 3 games before ours, not sure where he was getting his numbers from

Panthers are not  known for not stopping the run though..  I think their run d was a bit overvalued based on schedule but they were solid/above average 

 

Jags ran on them week 1 but that was pretty much it.  I don’t think anyone would’ve predicted this result. Bills probably could’ve cracked 325 yards rushing if they didn’t shut things down in the 3rd quarter 

 

I heard a lot of ‘the bills won’t be able to run and dowdle will run all over them making the game close’ from the haters which are things they got pretty wrong.

There’s definitely this phenomenon where teams get labeled as ‘bad’ based on past years and it is automatically assumed these teams are not only bad overall but bad at every facet of football every year just based on name alone 😂

[Buffalo Ballin]

Carolina Panthers' last 3 opponents, BEFORE THEY FACED US, have bad run games.

 

Yeah, they're overrated at stopping the run. The Carolina Panthers proved that today. That's all that counts. Today, the present day. Not yesterday. Not 3 weeks ago.

 

Carolina couldn't stop Travis Etienne Jr and our stud, James Cook.

Panthers shut out the Falcons 33-0.  Just let that sink in.😆

That had crossed my mind.  I remember a few years ago he took a shot against the Packers that people suspected was concussion causing...and did not seem right for a few games after.  However, I would think that, since it wasn't severe enough that he got pulled from the came, that if that were the case, he'd be better by now...but who knows.

Yeah, concussions can be weird.  My daughter could pass her concussion test but had light sensitivity and intermittent brain fog for weeks.

 

I kind of suspect that is what's going on with Josh, and he can't tell anyone or he'll have to sit.

 

Yesterday's second tush push TD, he ran it standing straight up which I found odd and made me wonder if he was protecting his head?

 

He's definitely not thinking the game as well the last two games, at least.  One other odd thing is that the last two games he's been trying to mostly roll left to escape the pocket which I have no idea what that's about?

Not to mention Fins crush Falcons.

I know it won't happen, but in my dreams T Mac somehow becomes a Bill. He's the outside receiver Coleman was supposed to be plus great over the middle. With a quality QB he'd be electric.

McGrady is already a Bill. I doubt he would want to take a beating on the field at age 46 but a 6’8” wideout would be interesting.

Edit- I had no idea Tet’s nickname was T-Mac.

It looks like we are back but I'm not getting too excited about beating up on an Andy Dalton led team owned by fantasy football dork David Tepid

He showed it on that rundown. He was in on some other tackles, too.
