Forcing Turnovers is the missing ingredient in this Defense

[BuffBillsForLife]

Turnovers are things you hope for, and hope is not a strategy.

Oh, my goodness

 

Every team that's struggling can say their missing ingredient is forcing turnovers

 

I'd say a third of it is luck, another third is scheme and talent, and the last third is simply luck

 

You're better off relying on trying not to turn over the ball instead of taking it away cause that's more within your control

You cannot rely on turnovers to consistently get off the field.  When you have a defensive structure that often gives up long 3rd downs, you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself is this working?

Ya it's clearly not working,  hopefully with getting Max , Hoecht , Ogunjobi will add something,  idk if it's personnel or scheme or play calling.. hopefully it just gets better

Yep, it's too random.  Every NFL team teaches turnover techniques and emphasizes it.  It's not unique to the Bills.  As we all know a team can force 3 fumbles but maybe not recover any based on the bounce of the ball.

Why is this so complicated for some of you? Yes…it’s fickle for sure. We all know that! But….if you consistently lose the turnover margin you aren’t winning …period!

it's not complicated at all

 

turnovers (and turnover differential) are both largely a product of chance. meaning over time you are no more likely to win the turnover battle than you are to lose it within a +/- 3 or so turnovers over the course of 17 games

You think turnovers are all this D is missing? I don't. Hopefully reinforcements make the difference.
