Fans had plenty to complain about during the Carolina Panthers' gut-check beatdown at home to the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. And head coach Dave Canales wasn't immune from criticism.
This centered mainly on his decision to make running back Rico Dowdle an innocent bystander over the second half. The free-agent signing was clearly outperforming Chuba Hubbard once again, but Canales opted to deploy the former Oklahoma State standout rather than riding the hot hand.
Hubbard found the end zone, but he didn't eclipse three yards per carry again. The eye test favored Dowdle, too.
