That's because turnovers are generally not predictable or repeatable.


True & no one expected last year's defense to reach '09 turnover numbers but with a more consistant pass rush, the defense could have forced a few more then they did.

Letting them run on us at will also had something to do with it. They got into favorable 2nd and 3rd down situations all game, and that (along with injuries in the secondary like Jenkins) severely limited our defensive playcalling.


Up until Lynch's late run, the defense had only allowed Seattle 83 yards on the ground. It was Seattle's quick short passes & the deep passes off of play action that did the defense in. Allowing Hasslebeck to stay upright & find receivers downfield didn't help either.

Yes we had less turnovers last year but I would like to point out that in our Super Bowl run in 09 we had the #25 ranked defense. Last year we had the #4 ranked defense.
