Can a bad defense that consistently gets turnovers because of opportunistic play and aggressiveness be successful long term? Didn't the mid-2000s Colts, the late 90s Rams, and just for fun, the Dallas Mavericks, prove that it can be done?

4-1 is well beyond where most prognosticators envisioned us. I'm concerned that Fitz has been unexceptional the last 2 weeks but I'm glad that other aspects of the team picked up the slack. Overall, great feeling and its nice to be in FIRST a quarter of the way in with a win over arguably our toughest division rival.

I'll never understand why when other teams facilitate turnovers they're ball-hawking, savy, experienced, and opportunistic. When Buffalo does similarly...it's luck. Drayton Florence pulling a unsecured ball from disoriented receiver isnt luck. A tipped ball by a player who is trained to do just that isn't luck. Byrd pulling the football from a WR isn't luck. These are calculated decisions. And they should be fairly considered as a demonstration of skill. It's almost as if there are no intangibles that go into a game...the only thing that matters is yardage gained and yardage allowed. Weird.
