Would be nice to see the D/ST get about 3 turnovers this week. I hope we trounce the Jags. Get our season back on the right track.

weren't we minus 10 going into last weeks game? Bottom line is if the O line shows up consistently we will not have negative turnover stats like this.

Exactly. This stats primarily show one really bad game in the turnover department.
