Coach Sean McDermott has made a very big deal (some inside the team would say an obnoxiously big deal) about not turning the ball over. The Bills turned it over on their first possession of the season, a tipped interception. In their 43 possessions since: zero turnovers ... including another clean game in Sunday’s 23-17 upset of Atlanta. obnoxiously big deal?
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Pretty sure Billy B also makes a big deal out of turnovers. Not an issue imo.
JerseyBills Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Let him be as obnoxious as he wants, that's an incredible stat , that's how you win championships
LeGOATski Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Sounds like he knows how to play winning football.
Luxy312 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Let's see. Based on the history of the NFL: -1 in turnovers = you lose almost 90% of the time. -2 in turnovers = you lose almost 95% of the time. -3 in turnovers = you lose almost 98% of the time.There are always exceptions, but this is the most telling statistic in football. If a coach was going to be obnoxious about anything, this should be it.
Fan in Chicago Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/02/nfl-week-4-rams-offense-deshaun-watson-patriots-defense-peter-king-mmqb obnoxiously big deal? Rather poor choice of words but the point being made is a good one. Mcd understands the significance of ball security and also that he sweats the details.
DC Tom Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I'm betting those "inside the team" who called it an "obnoxiously big deal" are elsewhere now, or will be soon.

But the guys on the radio tell us we should not be concerned about turnovers and our qb needs to risk more ints in order to make more plays.
YoloinOhio Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 So he was clapping obnoxiously when he said it?
GoBills808 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The Bills reserve the right to play obnoxious winning football.
Juice_32 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I'll take that brand of obnoxious over Rex's brand of obnoxious any day. Commence process trusting.
nickrage Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah... But when will Dareus ever touch the football
Boatdrinks Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 It probably means that he gets the point across to excess and some players likely admits off the record that it brings many eye rollls and internal groans . Other than that it means next to nothing, really.
oldmanfan Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I like Peter King but that's just weak writing. Don't throw some rumor like that out there without some kind of substantiation.

These guys have to assure that some things are said in confidence or they wouldn't get such nuggets from players et al.

There are always exceptions, but this is the most telling statistic in football. If a coach was going to be obnoxious about anything, this should be it. If we had just one T/O in either Denver or Atlanta games, I don't think we win them. JMO. The players MAY think it's obnoxious, but I say 'Thank you, Coach!'
