Buffalo Bills 20, Carolina Panthers 9
This was a amazing game as the Panthers should have won this game based on numbers as they out gained the Bills 425-167! Jake Delhomme was awful again yesterday as he completed 27 of 44 passes for 325 yards with 0 TD passes and 3 INTs. DeAngelo Williams had another good game for the Panthers with 16 carries for 89 yards (5.6 ypc) with 1 TD run. He also caught 5 passes for 50 yards (10.0 avg) in this game. Steve Smith had probably his best game of the season with 6 grabs for 99 yards (16.5 avg). Little used TE Gary Barnidge also had a solid game with 3 catches for 77 yards (25.7 avg). The Panthers finished up with 425 total yards on offense (116 rushing, 309 passing) as they held onto the ball for 34:40 in this game! I’m still amazed that they lost.
The defense played their best game of the year for the Panthers. Linebacker Jon Beason led the way for the Panthers with 7 tackles including 2 tackles for a loss. DT Damione Lewis also had a good game with 6 tackles and 2 QB hits. The Bills finished up with only 167 total yards on offense (53 rushing, 114 passing) in this game. The Panthers have dropped to 2-4 on the season with this loss.

I don’t know what happened to Jake Delhomme’s ability to read a defense, as the quarterback has thrown at least one interception in every game this year. Why not throw Matt Moore or A.J. Feeley out there? They probably wouldn’t win very many games, but I don’t think they would average 2.2 interceptions per game like Delhomme is.
