Opposing teams are statistically more likely to turn the ball over vs the Bills than to score

that's insane.  We do seem to recover a large % of fumbles that happen, which is fantastic.  

Our guys swarm when tackling, this increases the odds of a turnover…

That is crazy.  Odds are that pace can't keep up but it sure must be a huge worry for opposing offenses.


Typically I’d agree with you, but one quick peek at the schedule… It’s looking softer and softer by the day.

Indeed.

Playing Zach Wilson twice, the Jaguars offense, Tua or Brissett, Jameis Winston....the turnovers might just keep coming.

Has any NFL team finished the regular season ranked 1 on offense & defense?


Not to put the juju on us or anything but there was that legendary Chargers team that was 1/1 on off/def but failed to make the playoffs on absolutely HORRENDOUS special teams play.

Let’s see how this team handles a ground and pound Titans team that has physical receivers. The Titans were a bad matchup last season hoping the defense is up to the task.

 

Bad matchup because the Bills played with a preseason roster and still held Henry to like 57 yards.  Titans are pretenders.  There are no more team by team tests for the Bills.  The Bills are the test.  The only test the Bills have left is getting to the Super Bowl and winning it.

I tend to agree with you but I would also argue that the Titans came out with a good defensive game plan last season and it flustered Josh. Hoping to see how the Bills counter that offensively. The Bills are the bar now which feels fantastic but sports can often be about matchups and the Titans present an interesting matchup for the Bills that I am interested to see how it plays out.

Opponents only winning move is not to play.

Interesting that the computer's name in War Games was Joshua.

 

 


Josh is just a cyborg quarterback sent back in time from 2029 to 2021 to hoist a Lombardi. Who will one day save Buffalo from relocation by a hostile Trump take over in a post apocalyptic future.

        One point some people are bringing up is the season is long and the schedule looks ripe for the Bills to lose focus, get over confident leading to a few upsets.  I say the way the Bills can keep their edge while fighting boredom from less than iron competition, is they can use this easier schedule to try out new plays  to tweak them where needed more on tape to give future playoff team more to prepare for.having our defense is just a great way to use any of the games we take comfortable leads on we can go into testing mode try out new wrinkles, they can experiment see how teams react to a sudden no huddle drive from nowhere thats just to guage our offenses ability to do it.  We don't need to run the 2 min offense much in games so well in hand that they could just throw in a few such drives  randomly in some of our upcoming easier games.  And I'm not being disrespectful of the upcoming teams as its the NFL and any team can punch you in the mouth as Pittsburg did week 1.

 

    However that sucker punch if you will has our team prepared for any future jabs and they are prepared to deliver knockout blows and it can be offense or defense that delivers it or more likelly a combination.  

    

      I guess my point is McDermott is playing 3d chess while boxing for the right to get to the championship fight.   But I like your War Games comparison so I guess its War Games vs Rocky.
