re: Could've Been the Saints Getting a Playoff Win

Times we won the Turnover battle this season in games that we lost 0-7-2

Quick Stats from a couple games we lost

Matt Ryan 448 yards 3 TD's

Tony Romo 262 yards 3 TD's/Demarco Murray 148 yards 2 TD's/ Saints Turnovers 3 - Cowboys 0

Matthew Stafford 299 yards 2 TD's

Saints Vs SF - 3 Saint Turnovers

Andy Dalton 220 yards 3 TD's Jeremy Hill 152 yards

Cam Newton 226 yards 3 TD's Jonathan Stewart 155 yards 1 TD

Matt Ryan 322 yards 1 TD, 4 Saint Turnovers


Drew Brees has 24 Turnovers on the season

Our defense has the following rankings statistically

31st Ranked Total Defense
30th 3rd Down Conversation Defense
28th Scoring Defense

So to recap in a year where we lost our last 5 homes games, where we love to turn the ball over, and have a defense that gives up a lot of yards, 3rd down conversations, and points...we were going to just waltz into the playoffs and win a game because Carolina did it.....
