Buffalo had there standard once a season game against NE were they show up....always happens.

Rookie EJ Manuel lead the Bills to 14 pts. Other score was a Def TD.

Manuel went 18-27 for 150 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs. No sacks. Played a very efficient game for an opening day rookie.

2nd biggest surprise was how bottled up CJ Spiller was.

To win this game we need a repeated defensive showing.... EJ isn't Wilson. Hard to imagine he can play mistake free if our DL can show up again.

I hope if we put as much pressure on Manuel that we put on Wilson, the rookie will crack and make some stupid mistakes. I'd love to see a pick 6 for our D to celebrate with

He's another mobile guy so sacking him won't be easy all he has to do is buy enough time to look down field guys will be open all day from him.

How's their defense? I think we will see a much better offensive game from Cam and company. They aren't Seattle I'm sure

With this Panthers team nothing is certain especially after losing to Kansas City last year. The defense can only hold up for so long. If the offense is coming in not stringing together any drives and going 3 and out the defense will be gassed.

 

The offense has been stagnant since the preseason and until Shula lets Cam loose I think there will be more of the same.

Pie for the thread title alone.  The Panthers lost yesterday.  Played well against a very good opponent, but reality is we're 0-1.  15 more chances.  Good news is only NO got a win yesterday.  The Bucs loss against the Jets was very bad.  I am bummed the Panthers lost a close game again, but I would feel much worse as a Bucs fan today.

 

But on to Buffalo- this is going to be another tough challenge.  Their defense is very good- they had a good shot to win yesterday.  The Bills over the last few years have had a lot of games like the Panthers- play well enough to win and lose close.  EJ Manual makes their offense more scary because of his mobility.

 

The Panthers offense needs a better showing.  Our gameplan yesterday looked a lot like Fox circa 2002.  You got to take a few shots down field with a guy like Newton.  I do think if the defense can play well again we can rattle Manual.

 

I can see a 20-17 type game.  Yesterday was not a must-win game, but honestly, this game is as much of a "must-win" as any game Rivera has had in his tenure.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
