You Like Numbers?
 
Record: 0-2. Turnovers: -3 (though 1 turnover was in desperation at the end of the game)

@ ATL: Saint 1 (ONE)/Atlanta 2 (TWO) with one in overtime on our own side of the field
@ CLE: Saints 0 (ZERO)/Cleveland 2 (TWO) with one a Pick 6 in a 26-24 game.

Lose the turnover battle on the road, you are asking to get beat. Wondering why we're 0-2 and getting beat by last second FGs? It is the inability to force turnovers and our tendency to turning the ball over on the road.

This is a pretty telling stat, and one cannot deny that these 2 things are why talented teams get beat by last second FGs on the road to inferior teams. The sole reason? Of course not, but it ain't gonna help matters none.

But can we really call them inferior teams at this time? Both are 1-1. We are 0-2.

It's hard to create turnovers when you playing soft and scared.

I've got a number for you - 14. As in games left to play.

How about 1. As in number of division games played.


Yes we've seen some ugly football but it's going to take more for me to give up

2 games is too small of a sample size.
We are not scoring 17 points/game needing turnovers for more points. Turnovers has very little to do with allowing 32 points/game.
