It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Obviously it isn't all luck, but it does indeed have a component of that. I'd rather stop teams by forcing punts, than by forcing turnovers, because when you face good offenses, odds are, you won't take the ball away frequently. Can't complain about the way they've done things the last couple of weeks, though.Yeah, but I've been told by a few posters here that forcing turnovers isn't actually part of a good defense. It's all luck, apparently.

Yeah, the whole turnover thing on both sides of the ball is amazing and I hope it continues. Though like you said, that element of luck is there and it's not reliable. We've seen it the past two years: In 2010 we kept hearing about Brady's amazing no-INT streak, then we saw what happened against the Jets. Last February the turnover luck went the other way against the Giants, who literally could not give the ball away no matter how they tried.
By all means I hope the offense keeps staying clean and the D stays opportunistic. I'm confident this offense can overcome a turnover or two, but how this D would do without benefit of take-aways remains to be seen (maybe).
