On this Black Friday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran recovers from plates full of turkey to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics as they head towards the critical stretch of the regular season, including what he thinks is the one and only thing the Bills can control and do that can turn around what currently feels like a sinking ship.

The Bills aren't moving on from embattled offensive coordinator Joe Brady this late in the season. The receivers don't get open enough and arguably aren't good enough. There's just too many guys on defense playing well past their prime and of course injuries have been a big factor. It's too late to really do anything about that. So what can the Bills realistically find a way to get back to doing to save this season?

Patrick thinks it's simple----stop turning the ball over so much and get a few more takeaways of your own. The Bills turned the ball over three times in their loss at Houston last week and have turned it over a total of 11 times in their four losses alone this year. That's a far cry from last year, when they had just eight turnovers for the entire season! They've also failed to have a takeaway in three of their four losses and again, they led the NFL last year in turnover margin. Somehow, someway the Bills and specifically Josh Allen have to better at taking care of the football and the defense has to start producing some strips sacks, forced fumbles in the open field, interceptions or something to turn the tide for a defense that's at best inconsistent.

Patrick also has several thoughts on wide receiver Brandin Cooks signing with the Bills, cutting Elijah Moore and also adding defensive end Shaq Lawson---again. That plus plenty to be thankful for and a lot more. Happy Holiday season!
