‘Whether it’s lamenting being “too cute” or getting right to the point about those failed plays, McDermott’s frustration has been readily apparent the past couple games when it comes to those plays in particular and just how generally hard everything has looked for the offense. I’m willing to bet Brady put in some long days over the bye week searching for some answers. We’ll find out starting against Carolina how many he was able to unearth.’

Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Panthers: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘The Bills have had trouble stopping the tun this season. They’re allowing the most yards per play on the ground (5.75) and over 156 yards per game, third-most in the NFL. Carolina has an excellent run game, averaging over 140 yards per contest, which is third-best in the NFL, and an 8th most 4.72 yards per run. Panthers running back Rico Dowdle has the third-most rushing yards (551) and third-best average per carry (5.62) in the entire NFL. The Bills absolutely have to slow down the Panthers rushing attack and force them into long-yardage situations and to throw the ball.’
