We are -1 in the turnover department.

The reason that the Pats didn't lose 363-179 to the Chargers is that yards don't count. Only scoring counts toward winning. You have have all the 90-drives you want, but if they end in FGs, you are going to lose to a team that only scores 1/2 as many times, but scores TDs.Yet are 5-1.
I think one of the big keys to this season is the turnovers we've been creating.
In pete's defense, it is the league metric for ranking and many posters here did throw much scorn at the 5th ranking of the defense in points allowed.
coldhardfootballfacts has developed an interesting array of measurements that are pretty interesting.
QB rating differential seems to be the most relavent.
The only stats that matter are W and L.
We're +6 pal
CHFF is a bunch of BS imo. You're better off just watching the games objectively and getting a feel for the team. Our defense is playing better than any stat or metric indicates.
