PREACH, MY BROTHER!!!

I used to think that way (the article you're quoting), but clearly some teams are better at it than others, year after year. There is a luck component but it's also coaching and preparation.

I don’t know that you can definitively say that. All teams say they focus on forcing and avoiding turnovers, but some are clearly better at it than others.

Yes, but it was always overblown because his TD to TO numbers were still staggering. Regardless, it is yet another area of his game he has worked fervently to improve, and it shows in historic fashion.

The last time the Bills lost the TO battle in a game, regular or postseason, was January 7, 2024, in the regular season finale at Miami. Since then they have won the TO battle 19 times, tied it 5, and their overall TO margin is +33 (8-41). This a remarkable testament to Allen’s growth and maturity, and probably includes a fair amount of good fortune, but the 24-game streak of not losing the TO battle is believed to be the longest in NFL history.

17 consecutive wins in one-score games was not sustainable, and now they’ve lost two in a row. They are essentially the same team, with the same QB and coaches, but they didn’t get the breaks they needed. If anyone takes them for granted they’re stupid, but these Chiefs are NOT the dominant force they have been. As a fan I’m trying to focus myself on one week at a time, like the team does. It’s easy to get ahead of ourselves and look at what might be, but I’m going to enjoy the ride one week at a time. If this Bills team can stay reasonably healthy, everything will take care of itself.

Agreed. It’s ok to like Hawes (I certainly do) without dissing Knox. Yes, he had a couple of drops, but he is important to this team and offense.

It’s not reasonable to expect the Fish to hold Buffalo under 30 for multiple reasons. The key to how close the score is will be what happens in the turnover battle. Something like 38-20 feels right to me.

Better put Tua on concussion alert (only half kidding). Yikes.

Mickey Spillane?

Pretty sure it’s fake.

Is this real or a prank? Did the owner of the Fish just promote uniforms and concessions (and other events) to Fish fans? Why are some of the richest people in the world also complete morons?

Lamar is head and shoulders above Tua. I never underestimate a division opponent but if our pass rush can get to Tua it will be over quickly, and as others have noted, how exactly are they going to stop our offense? And then there is the little matter of Josh absolutely pwning the Fish and the fact we are smack dab in the middle of their heads. They have a Buffalo problem.

You’re only proving my point. We let the guys who have to do it for a living (Beane) negotiate good contracts that reward the player while also protecting the team. Cook was never going to get 15M but he got a very fair raise and contract and acted like a professional the whole time, while many fans acted like little babies.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit and just licking their chops over this one…🤣
