Wait, what?
You'd rather force a punt than a turnover?
There are elements of bad play by the team committing the turnover but there's hardly much luck. Spikes punching that ball out last night was pure genius.
Actually, it would have been sheer genius if he had knocked it in NE's direction: by rule, if any JEST player other than Greene touched the ball, it was dead (and therefore NE's).
As it was, though, it actually *cost* the Patriots about 10 yards of field position (since they had stopped the JEST on 4th-and-1).
