[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 363032, member: 2232"] Think about this: When a team has a +1 turnover advantage, they win 65% of the time. When a team has a +2 turnover advantage, they win 87% of the time. When a team has a +3 or more turnover advantage, they win 97% of the time and it's usually a blowout. We had a +3 turnover advantage against the Steelers, and they still had the ball at the end to steal the game, and many of us thought they were going to do it to us again (as Greg Jennings mic'd up felt). Maybe not "luck", but with a +3 turnover margin in the game, a game should have been a blowout. We were "fortunate" that we had the 3 turnovers. Thank God for Jarrett Bush and Howard Green, and Desmond Bishop for the sweet scoop-up on Mendenhall's cough-up. How many times have we seen players try to scoop up a fumble on the run like that, and they bobble and lose it? And we yell at them to just fall on the **** ball, not try to grab & run!??? In fact, in the 2008 NFC Title game, the Giants fumbled the punt with about 2 minutes to go, and Jarrett Bush had the same chance to grab a fumble, and he lost it trying to pick and run and we all yelled at him to just fall on the damn ball!!!!
