Cherrybone Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 They don't have the sacks but the turnovers are insane. I never thought I would see the Bills with a better defense then the defense from a few seasons ago under Schwartz. I'll take the turnovers over sacks any day. Good job so far.

Team is ALWAYS in the right spot it seems on D...this isn't luck...its not lucky when you put yourself in the position to make these plays week in and week out

Good job so far. where were you 23 years ago? edit: 13 years ago? 2004 they went 6 games straight with at least 3 defensive turn overs. Edited October 29, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 where were you 23 years ago? edit: 13 years ago? 2004 they went 6 games straight with at least 3 defensive turn overs. ....BIGGEST repulse is how Train Wrecks set this club back TWO years and MCD resurrects it overnight......
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) ....BIGGEST repulse is how Train Wrecks set this club back TWO years and MCD resurrects it overnight...... I stand corrected. I don't think it was '04? I heard them earlier mention they had a 6 game streak with 3 or more turn overs. trying to find the year? I'm getting old.

LeGOATski Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I work with a Raiders fan who was calling the Bills' defense a fluke and actually thinks Rex is a good coach. Wonder how he's feeling now...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 maybe it was '04? the best team to miss the playoffs since the turn of the century - Bills 2004 defense ranks 4th in last 30 years View Gallery | 20 Photos Alumni Rewind: Aaron Schobel The 2004 Buffalo Bills finished second in the league that year in total defense, first in takeaways (39), second against the pass (164 yds/gm), third in touchdowns allowed (29), sixth against the run (100.2 yds/gm) and sixth in points allowed (17.8/gm). On Football Outsiders advanced metric scale the Bills 2004 defense, which featured players like Sam Adams, Pat Williams, Aaron Schobel, London Fletcher, Takeo Spikes, Nate Clements and Lawyer Milloy, was the fourth-best defensive unit in the NFL in the last 30 years.
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are not sustainable for long term success
mikemac2001 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are not sustainable for long term success But points allowed is
Big Turk Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are not sustainable for long term success Turnovers are a result of being in the right position for them to happen and actively trying to force them...if they were just luck plays I'd agree...these arent luck plays.
The juice Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Not gonna continue to happen. But hey Ill enjoy the ride
RyanC883 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 this D is unbelievable right now. Milano looks like he belongs as a starter. I wonder if he can play himself into starting. Backups come in, nothing missed. Frazier has to be assistant coach of the year (if that's a thing).

YoloinOhio Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 ....BIGGEST repulse is how Train Wrecks set this club back TWO years and MCD resurrects it overnight...... did you happen to see Rex on ESPN earlier when they asked him about the Bills and if this is the year they break the drought. His pompous arse says well we were 4-2 last year, just had to get that out there
billspro Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are not sustainable for long term success I don't think this team is going to slow down in the turnover department. They are well coached, play proper technique, and continue to create turnover opportunities. They could have had a couple more today and last game.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are a result of being in the right position for them to happen and actively trying to force them...if they were just luck plays I'd agree...these arent luck plays. Case in point. Preston brown in great coverage position, knocks ball in air, and almost gets a pick. Next play, Brown in great coverage position, knocks ball in air, and Hyde grabs the deflection.
BuffaloBill Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 They consistently attack the ball. They are coached to go after turnovers.

Oh how people forget. We can't discredit what Tyrod has done with limiting turnovers. First qb we've had in a while that I'm not terrified to see dropping back on 3rd down.

Next play, Brown in great coverage position, knocks ball in air, and Hyde grabs the deflection. Yeah those aren't lucky plays...that's guys doing their job properly, taking their job seriously and studying opponents, and knowing your job on every play...
