So far no turnovers
 
I just noticed an interesting stat. Through the first three weeks the Saints are the only team in the NFL to have not turned the ball over. Zero interceptions and zero fumbles.

:bng:

14-2 Baby!

Yes, no turnovers and we haven't been in a close game yet this year. It's been weird lately.

As long as we are staying aggressive on offense and playing hard then I am certainly okay with 0 turnovers.

If you would have showed me this stat today & not knowing the team record, I would have been inclined to believe that we were 3-0.

Keep that momentum going into London.

blaming turnovers is an easy way to justify losses.

Losses are personal

What is even harder to believe is that we were 0-2 with no turnovers. This is totally counter to statistical trends.

The major difference Sunday is we didn't have any turnovers and got 3.
Don't forget we had only 1 penalty for 10 yards too.

Actually it was a bad call while the game was still questionable...
But you got the "Garbage" part right. :o

Stats don't matter, BUT...
I assume that the very late 4th down we did not convert counts as a TO, our first of the season

No. That is not classified as a turnover. The Saints remain as the only team in the NFL with no turnovers through the first four games.

Well to be fair Drew has gifted a few that were refused by the recipient. LOL

He's human and I, for one, would rather be lucky than good. A little of both doesn't suck.

This was Off The Hook funny...............

There are a lot of signs this team is improving. The lack of turnovers is surprising considering the play of our offensive line although they have seemed to improved as well.
Offense can look sloppy at times but gelling more and more.

As far as Kamara, I think many teams will use the term "so and so can be our poor mans Kamara"

Depending when Julio and Sanu return I could see the falcons leading the league in turnovers. Things unraveled for them immediately after that went down.

Matt Ryan has thrown 5 interceptions and the same amount of TDs with them in there; I hate to think it could get worse! :rofl:

Lord knows that he's been unlucky a number of times in the past with passes bouncing out of receivers hands for picks. I would love to see stats on how many of Brees' picks were actually catchable balls.

Yep, quickly. Then you look at their upcoming schedule ... @ the Patriots, @ the Jets, @ Seattle, Cowgirls, Vikes ... it could get ugly.

Injuries can make or break a season. Very few teams are built to over come them.

Don't forget the fumble. He had a fumble-6 yesterday too.

I guess you are right- silly me for thinking that a turn over and a turnover were the same thing

The Saints can certainly vouch for this!

Re: So far no turnovers
 
Saints became only the 3rd team in NFL history to start with 4 straight games without a turnover.

I wonder if the other two teams had a turnover in game 5.

I just checked and the 2013 Titans and the 1995 Rams both had 3 turnovers in game 5 and lost. The Rams were 4-0 and the Titans were 3-1.
