Scouting Carolina by Bills fan

This could have gone under the What Bills Fans are Saying but due to the OP's quality I wanted to give it it's own thread.

It's complete with screenshots and Panther praise. Also, for the most part, I think it's right on the money. As per the norm some of the comments are stupid, exhibit A: Great post! I'm still confident our defense will confuse Newton more than theirs.

Anyway, despite a successful registration I can't reply over there.

Because we're both downtrodden organizations and they have their own problems to deal with.

I was impressed by EJ Manuel against the Pats.

I think he has a chance to be a good one. Very poised and makes good decisions . His legs may not be as good as Cam or RG3, but he can scramble and hurt you.

Was mostly accurate.

Their defense is similar to ours, good front 4. I think we have better personnel in our front 7 but they do more than hold their own.

Key for us will be stopping the run and putting them in passing situations, then getting to the QB in a hurry.

I think this is going to be a close game. Very similar teams.

They probably have better coaching but we have better personnel.

i know this isn't a completely accurate comparison because i know they are different styles of offense and QBs, but i see the bills managing manuel the same way rg3 was managed. it's just happening with less time between snaps.

 

i think we handle him the same way we did epsn's idol.

Also will just throw out that they had 14 possessions and only 14 points and only 268 yards on offense, one of the TDs those came after a turnover late in the first half in Pats territory.

So they weren't shredding the defense either. Stopping the run game and winning first down will be the key IMO

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
