In terms of yards yes, but having forced 30 turnovers? Teams in the playoffs are there because they make less mistakes. It is nice to have some ball hawks, but they have to step up still to make a run and not rely on TOs. Of course Favre is due for a 5 pick game so he may give it up when they get there. Indy won't if they meet them in the SB. That would be a sick game. |

Forcing TOs though is a double-edged sword when it comes to the playoffs. Remember before the Lions lost 83249872134 games in a row? They led the league in forced TOs and were 6-2. The defense is more responsible for to's than an offense, IMO. Brady under pressure = Brady throws pick. |

Manning threw a few picks against the pats defense. He makes mistakes too. The Saints haven't exactly been totally immune to having to squeek games out either with bad offense some weeks. They had their hands full with teams like STL a couple weeks ago...lol |

15th in scoring defense too, and since you're not comprehending my posts, i also said their defense is good enough to win with that offense. |

I just don't think you can depend on the TOs. I know that some teams are very good at creating pressure and forcing them, but with 18 games of film under their belts, and a team that is less likely to make stupid mistakes out there, the D has to do it the old fashioned way. Force teams to punt. |
