So I decided to breakdown the turnovers during our games...and this is what I found:
@ Cleveland, W 19 - 14 : +1, 2 for us, 3 for them
@ Greenbay, W 34 - 27 : - 1, 3 for us, 2 for them.
vs. Atlanta, W, 22 - 3: Even
@ Carolina, L, 18 - 21: -1, 1 for us.
vs. Tampa Bay, W, 24 - 21 : +1, 1 for them.
vs. Philadelphia, W, 27 - 24: Even, 2 for each team.
vs. Baltimore, L, 22 - 35: -4, 5 for us, 1 for them. OUCH.
@ Tampa Bay, W, 31 - 14: +1, 1 for them.
@ Pittsburg, L, 31 - 38: -3, 3 for us. OUCH again.
So we're 6 - 3. In our 3 losses we're a combined -8. In our 6 wins, we're + 2.
Every game we've lost, we've lost the turnover battle. It hasn't been the QB either. Its been a terrible amount of fumbles. Sure Brees has 7 INTs (3 against the Ravens) on the season, but in 9 games, that's not half bad. On top of that, our defense just isn't coming up with turnovers. If we can fix either one of those problems...we should have no problem winning. We're able to move the ball on absolutely anyone, including the Ravens.
