Enjoyed the post.

Good post. Our ST's coverage is awful and the now-suspended Dante Wesley is our best special teamer. If we for whatever reason give the Bills a punt to return, there is a good chance that you will take it to the house.

Why was he suspended? And do you agree with the decision?

I haven't yet been in the Smack forum. It's sig/avatar jokes, primarily.

That also shows you how dumb some Bills fans are....Charlotte is HARDLY the stereotypical South. I have like six friends who work for BoA down there and they all love it.

Charlotte is known to buffalonians as their second city in the South. I have a lot of friends from Buffalo that live here. All great people.

There will be a strong contingent of them in attendance on Sunday. Be ready Whether or not we suck, our fans always turn out. Our undyling loyalty with our hearts and wallets is the reason management has continued to screw us by underspending on front office staff for more than a decade

Good thread. Chears to OP.

As long as the Panthers don't make mistakes and create turnovers on offense we should win. The defense has been steadily improving and the front 7 should be able to contain the run and put pressure of the QB.

Thomas "the Ancient" Jones rushed from 210 yards against the Bills D, so if the sight of Double trouble doesn't put fear into the hearts of Bills fans, it should. I'm calling for another 100+-yard-each game for the duo, which will put us 100+ yards closer to a pair of 1000 yard backs!

Bills fans are cool. A couple of them sat next to me years ago when Flutie kicked our ass. This chick was carrying around a box of Flutie flakes she had bought on the street. Good folks.

You'll need to throw a lot more than that if you want to ring up yards like the Jets did.

Part of the reason teams have been successful as of late running on us is that the threat of the pass is still there.....preventing us thus far from stacking the line with eight or nine people. For how poorly we defended the run, we still only played with seven in the box since the Jets called over 30 passes....and the Browns almost 30 the week before.

I think if it becomes apparent that the Panthers have no intention of throwing, the Bills will drop that eighth and ninth man into the box to stop the run. No matter how great your line and backs are, nobody can run well against that kind of front consistently.

The last drive of the game last week Tampa didn't just have 9 in the box, they had 9 on the line of scrimmage. And they got ran all over. Our entire offense is built to run, even to a fault. If you say the Bills' run D is weak on the edges then I expect Williams to have a massive game.

I'm very confident about this game but, as has been said, it will come down to turnovers and ST.

I'm thinking this game will be the time of possession win this team has been searching for all year. I looked to this year to be the one where field position, time of possession and ball control would help this team stay close to the elite clubs in the NFL. Reality has been a cruel mistress for now. The special teams (Kasay excluded) play has been terrible and we all know about the turnovers. I think Lloyd is an asset, but they all need to reach the end zone when it's close. This team can control the clock and it has shown flashes of the kind of drives it takes to control a game. It's time to shore up the turnovers and return coverage. There was a bad problem with false starts early last year and that was improved upon. There may not be much of a chance to match the Saints or Falcons from here forward, but there is a great opportunity to improve the team.

So, anyway, here's a little scouting report on the Bills so you know what to expect when the game starts. I apologize for the length, but I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and there's a lot to talk about.

Are you in jail?

[Upper Deck West End Zone]

Some good writing in there. I think it will be a close game.

Great Post Punch

[Mr.BallHawk]

Good post!

You may not have to worry much about our special teams unit, as it has been very disappointing so far this season. Also, Roscoe was inactive for the last game, so he may be for this game as well. Fred Jackson should be the return man if this is the case.

Seeing as how what is said in the Smack forum should stay there, I'd just like to wish you guys luck this weekend! Hope it's a great game with no injuries for both teams!
