It's something a new coach can build on, and hopefully change.

The point is: Turnovers killed us. They always do. We are not good enough to overcome them. The number of turnovers must be reduced. The worst type of turnovers (punt blocks, Red Zone fumbles, etc.) must be virtually eliminated.
Turnovers don't just happen randomly to all teams. The Redskins can greatly reduce them. For example, as Niles Paul broke free, he could have wrapped both arms around the ball to ensure that we kept possession. His catch was at a critical point in the game when he needed to protect the ball. Fate didn't intervene; he just had a brain fart and ****ed up.
