Just lol.

No reason to fear Luke? That's literally the dumbest thing I have ever read. Luke is going to put the fear of God in these delusional idiots.

I literally LMFAO, that's fine don't fear him go right ahead a throw across the middle....  the trend I noticed repeatedly was them saying we were 6-10 last season and trash, no mention of the fact that the core of this team was 15-1 in 15' and how THEY were better last season....

It isn't like Webb is going to be on the field on defense.  Sure, he can tell the coaches our tendencies and whatnot, but that is stuff you can see on film.  It isn't like he is going to be able to stand on the sideline and be able to know every play we are about to run.  I don't think it is going to make a difference at all.

Bills fan here. Can't wait to be at this game on sunday!  136 row 2!  Watch out for our run game.  Lead the league last 2 seasons in rushing including last year where we faced the number 1 run defense schedule in the league and still dominated.  We need to watch out for yours as we got absolutely gashed in the run game last season....rex ryan.  But now our d is back to the 4-3 under mcd so the issue should be solved.  I think that's what this game will come down to...who can impose their will in the run game.  I think it's going to be a low score close game and I'll say 16-13 bills.

If the Bills impose their will on the ground against our front 7 then they deserve to win. I don't think that is going to happen.

The panthers will load the box on them, who do they have for pass catchers Clay and Mathews??? They don't have anyone who warrants a double team....

[aristocrat]

that's all teams did last year against our run game and we still ran it on them. if you guys stop it you will win. but it is the best run game in the league so if the panthers take it lightly at all the bills will make them pay.

The Panthers have given up 88 15'  and 91 16'  rushing yards per game average and a 3.9 ypc both seasons...

 

That's 89 YPG and 3.9 YPC good for second best the last two years....  This is strength vs strength... 

[aristocrat]

you're absolutely right. bills 152 ypg 2015, 165 ypg 2016. 190 last week.  and this is with nobody respecting our pass game so the box is stacked.  we ran up 162 yards in seattle on monday night last year, over 200 against zona and ny jets both who had around top 10 units.  sunday will be like rock against rock.

Should be fun to watch.... the difference is we rarely have the luxury of stacking the box recently due to the former ineptitude of the back end.... We primarily stop the run with a 7 man front....  The Star/Short Davis/Kuechly combo is that good.

the one thing tyrod does is throw a great deep ball but last year watkins was out most of the year and he's obviously not here this year.  if one our new guys can get some chemistry with the long ball tyrod will throw it. we just don't know about that.

Panthers still can't cover a TE. I look for clay to have a decent gam

the bills are not as bad as the 49ers but they are not world beaters either   ask the Patriots.  Even with what they do have, they have been mediocre  

This game is simply on the Panthers' coaches and players to take care of business.   Time for them to bow up and walk the walk.   No excuses.  Go big or get off the field and give the division to Atlanta. Good teams win the games they are supposed to win

Exactly.

Remember Washington with Riggins and Gibbs or the Steelers back in the day? Everyone knew what they were running, but no one could stop it.

They could have announced their plays in advance and it would have made little difference.

Riggins, he sure was fun to watch.

Taking anything away from a week one game is foolish. Ya'll have no idea what the Bills have (and neither do us Bills fans). Let's just all hope for a good game and no injuries.
