Buffalo Bills: Five takeaways from the loss to Carolina

Part of the reason Olsen, now in his 11th season, has more than 7,000 career receiving yards in his impressive durability.

“Hughes was the best Buffalo pass-rusher today while being among the best run defenders as well”. Coming over from Carolina, this was Clay’s first game suiting up for the Bills.

Tight end Ed Dickson of the Carolina Panthers carries the ball against cornerback Josh Norman of the Washington Redskins in the third quarter at FedExField on December 19, 2016 in Landover, Maryland.

Newton (shoulder) completed 20 of 32 passes for 228 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday’s 9-3 win over the Bills.

He compared the situation to the 2015 season, when Newton spread the ball around more after losing wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to a season-ending knee injury in training camp. It was nice to not see the franchise QB scrambling for his life like he did much of previous year, especially coming off offseason surgery to fix a partially torn rotator cuff. He finished with two receptions for 26 yards. The wide receiver is well-known for dropping what would have been a game-winning touchdown pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010. Do you believe the Buffalo Bills will win?

Last season, he appeared in all 16 regular-season games in what would become his sixth go-round as a member of the Panthers. You know, the ones that are getting Cam Newton killed. That’s the lowest total since the 2016 season opener against the Baltimore Ravens where they managed 160. Originally expected to return to the game, Olsen was carted back onto the field to start the second half in a walking boot and crutches – an ominous sign that foreshadowed the worst-case scenario.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Peppers was simply awesome and is turning out to be a great fit in Carolina with three sacks in two games. The offense tallied an underwhelming 194 yards in the game. Buffalo has led the NFL in rushing for 2 straight years and they had a league high 190 yards last week on the ground. “Sometimes it is what it is, but we’re 2-0”.
