Didn't ARE muff a punt against NO...doesn't that count as a turnover?
Good point, but I think they're talking about the offense. At this rate we could set a record. Compared to last year, Campbell has been amazing protecting the football. Some of our losses last year were directly related to him turning the ball over when we had a chance to take the lead. Great improvement from Jason Campbell.

I believe GWP efficiency only measures offensive plays.
And while I'm not the biggest fan of measuring a teams potential purely by GWP, I will say that this remark is interesting...
But at this point last year, 10 of the top 11 teams in GWP rankings went on to make the playoffs.

Our turnover margin is the mainreason we are 2-1. Plain and simple. It is hard to lose the turnover battle on a game by game basis and win those games. Any time you force a turnover it is a swing. Add the other's teams average score per drive and your own score per drive and that is the size of the swing. It we're both averaging 3 points per drive then we have a 6 point swing. Simplistic way to look at it for sure but it leads you down the right intellectual path to udnerstanding why turnovers are so important.

Call me a Downer but I am getting nervous about all this talk of no turnovers. Seems like I have seen/heard the print media, fan sites and radio shows all say how great our turnover ratio is. To the superstitious person that I am, all this talk only guarrantees that the 'Skins will have a 6 turnover day against Dallas.
That would suck.

You should seek medical attention immediately.

Is that a Fringe reference? Because I think it's 6 hours...
