    Turnovers are everything - especially in playoffs

    Turnovers and turnover margin are huge indicators of victories in the NFL regular season. But take a quick look at the 8 playoff games....

    Packers vs. Cardinals (W) - 3 to 1
    Ravens (W) vs. Patriots - 2 to 4
    Jets (W) vs. Bengals - 0 to 2
    Eagles vs. Cowboys(W) - 4 to 1

    Cardinals vs. Saints(W) - 2 to 0
    Ravens vs. Colts (W) - 4 to 1
    Cowboys vs. Vikings(W) - 3 to 0
    Jets(W) vs. Chargers - 1 to 2


    Teams that won the turnover battle are 8-0.
    Teams that lost the game averaged 3 turnovers.
    Teams that won averaged less than 1 (.75) turnover.

    Wow.

    Gotta hold onto the rock and make good decisions.
    The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

    Agreed. The Jets put on a clinic doin just that.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      This is why despite Rodgers having a really good game, his turnover at the start was absolutely HUGE in momentum for the Cardinals. His INT was really the last thing that we wanted to do, especially on the first play.

        the DD fumble was the icing on the cake in IMO... even though they came back and had a chance to win, once Warner was in rhythm the D was in for a rough day...
