Turnovers.

Their are a lot reasons we won last year. And their are a lot of reason we aren't this year, but the one that I haven't seen mentioned is turnovers. 

We're committing them, and we're not making the other team commit them. And even when they try their hardest too, we don't recover fumbles and we drop picks.

8 times out of 10, if you check an NFL boxscore, and see won the turnover battle, you've seen who won the game.

So why aren't we causing turnovers? Who do we blame? How can we change this? And is it too late??

You don't win in the NFL with 4 turnovers. You shouldn't win. So who's fault is this? 

Turnovers are about two things primarily. Creating pressure, and avoiding pressure. Rushed QB's. Make Rushed decisions, which leads to picks. Protected QB's, make good decisions which lead to points. 

Our O line must continue to gell. I DLINE must step it up. Because if we're going to go 9-2 (we need 10-6 for a wildcard imo) we need turnovers. 

All that being said, tonight, when we created the most pressure we have all year, and protected the QB as well as we have all year, we had a -4 turnover differential, so what do I know...

I pointed this out after the game.  Five weeks in and we LEAD THE LEAGUE in turnovers.  This a year after having a +20 differential.   

 

You could legitimately argue that if we had one fewer turnover per game we'd be 3-2 or 4-1.

 

But a team on pace for 40+ turnovers is going to have nothing but a horrific season.

Absolutely. Talent or not. You turn the ball over at the rate we are...goodnight.

Your post may be fine but I couldn't get past your first two sentences.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.

      only 1 QB in the history of mankind has managed a winning record with his opportunities in the David Tepper era.    Bring in PJ.   He has NFL tools.  He will at least be entertaining if called upon.  How is that not better than Andy.  *PJ Walker bandwagon is back up now that it is....not...time for for the percolator.
