Both teams close to the same record

4-2 Bills vs the 4-3 Panthers
Red Rifle to my knowledge is the starting QB for the Panthers

I'm kinda surprised the over/under is so low. I think both these teams score close to 30.

Much like Atlanta, I think the vet QB in Dalton is better than the young QB in Young, at least right now. The Bills defense is middlng at best and are particularly rough in the back 7. I think McMillan could see more success with Dalton, as a QB who is more willing to throw the "let the WR win at the catch point" balls than Young. McMillan may remind Dalton of the AJ Green days. I also think the run game (led by Dowdle in my opinion) has consistent success keeping the sticks moving.

For Buffalo, while the Panthers have shut down the run pretty well in recent weeks, those teams didn't have a guy like Josh Allen. I think Allen has a strong game, especially on the ground, and I think James Cook bounces back out of the bye week.

I think this could be a game that comes down to who has the ball last. I think the Panthers cover.

The last Bills team to lose its first game coming out of the bye was the 2014 Doug Marrone/Kyle Orton version.

Very interesting game
Panthers are playing well for The Panthers
Bills not so much for The Bills
Bills off a bye under McDermott are 8-0
If you're playing percentages that's a tough one to ignore
so...

Bills- 30

Panthers- 27

Interesting that first round pick Max Hairston was activated off IR and is expected to play today. He had 3 straight LPs this week so I'm shocked at this move TBH. Also starting safety Taylor Rapp was placed on IR - might be addition by subtraction since he has been bad this year. Also the 2 steroid bros come off suspension for this game.

Dowdle: 4/33
This guy is just good.

 

[irish eyes]

So Buffalo figured out that it's good to use James Cook.

 

[IHEARTFF]

What a joke this game is

 

[Drake Hater]

Dalton bailed out with that tripping call

 

[IHEARTFF]

Dalton needs to retire immediately

 

[ShamrockPride]

I feel like the only plays I've seen from the Panthers today are Dalton taking sacks.

 

[McBokonon]

No chance to get the FG unit on the field but plenty of time to just run a 4th down play and take a shot before the half. They chose the former. They failed. That’s why they’re the Panthers.

 

[Drake Hater]

As good as his audible was on the prior play, taking that sack was unbelievably stupid.

 

[jurrassic]

Dowdle: 4/33
This guy is just good.

So much better than Hubbard. It can’t really be argued at the moment

 

[themeistersinger]

Ed Oliver out for rest of game. Bicep. Looked bad.

 

[irish eyes]

Dowdle: 4/33
This guy is just good.

Dowdle 7.4 per carry, Hubbard 2.4. But keep running Hubbard out there, geez.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Damn, straight filthy run by shakir

 

[N Zone]

Scott Hanson on NFL Redzone is way over the top with his love for Josh Allen, completely ignores Shakir's nice catch and run.

Dowdle: 4/33

Obviously much better running but I think they still like hubbard in passing situations and don’t want to be too predictable

Dowdle: 4/33

Need to get Hubbard to line up properly if he’s going to be in on passing situations

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Cook is a Stud in redraft this year, 1st round pick next season
214 yards and 2TDs

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Please come back, Matt corral

Can’t argue with that

Cooks probably done for the day. He has chance at some records. Wish Carolina scored some points to keep game close.

If he's done for the day. I'm happy with results. Hope he gets few more carries,but I wouldn't risk it for records.

 

[irish eyes]

Dowdle hasn't touched the ball in the 2nd half. This whole coaching staff needs to go. What a joke.
