Re: Just how big the Patriots' TO margin is
This is a fascinating statistic, and given the importance of turnovers, it is not meaningless, although it doesn't guarantee a + differential in any particular game. I am more curious about the reasons for their success? Certainly it starts with Brady taking of the ball so well, but there are other great QBs who take care of the ball and his personal stats can't account for this ratio. This year, Spikes physicality and Ninko's off the edge strips have been big factors, but that would not explain the longer term trend. BB emphasizes ball security, but other coaches must do the same. Our defenses have not been particularly physical or talented. Reaching out to numbers freaks--What are some of the factors that account for this impressive and distinctive team stat?
