What's with the fumbles?

The turnovers are 100% based on defensive pressure from our front 4, we got pressure this week so we forced turnovers, the rest of the year we got no pressure=no turnovers.

Betts is gonna fumble once in a while, he holds the ball two far out, and doesnt switch his carrying hand enough, so he often takes big hits on his ball side, he also runs right into his O-linemen and linebackers, that's what downhill runners do. Portis' sure hands were underappreciated, but hopefully he will help betts improve in those areas.

Your screen name makes me laugh. It's a pained kind of laughter, but still...

It was because they served our team Carolina BBQ before the game as their secret weapon and we had greasy fingers. Won't be a problem in FedEx because they will be fin dinning with knifes and forks.
