The turnovers caused by the defense (especially those fumble recoveries) have dried up completely

That’s not a surprise because the kind of lucky streak they were on was unsustainable. To still be around the top ten in differential is pretty good.

Yeah it’s how much they need the “perfect” to be great.

 

A missed block for a 2 yard loss on first down? We are less than great. 
 

A procedural penalty for a 2nd and 15? We are less than great.

 

3rd and 10 in an obvious passing situation? We are less than great.

 

We are stylistically so different from

the Niners with Jimmy G, but that’s what this offense reminds me of. When we are rolling and running the ball well and staying on schedule, we are a wagon offensively. 
 

If you can bottle us up a bit and get us behind the sticks, it pays off for the defense.

 

Yep. Cos on 3rd and long obvious drop back honestly scheme matters less than talent. Can you now and again craft something in that situation that gets a guy open? Sure. But more often than not that is your guy gotta beat their guy.

That’s great, and does speak to some efficiency, but Yards/game isn’t a great stat to hang your hat upon. Usually doesn’t tell the whole story.

 

1st in ypg, 4th in ppg, and 5th in giveaways does collectively tell a great story.

To me, these achievements are all kind of mind-bending.  I watch this offense and often think Brady doesn't know how to scheme a downfield passing attack, which is a shame when you have a QB like Josh.  

Yet Brady produces where it matters: points & yards with a paucity of TOs.

My point was more about how sometimes bad teams can rack up yards in desperation/garbage time situations.

I understand,

 

My point was on how the yardage was accomplished by Buffalo and how it relates to the aspect of playing complimentary football.
