Missed turnover opportunities turning into Touchdowns?

Last year for the entire season we had 6 picks and 6 fumble recoveries.

You're right about that and I'm glad that we're getting our turnovers this year, especially when compared to last year. However I can't help but notice that almost everytime we drop an Interception or let a fumble slip out of our hands it usually comes back to bite us in the ass, usually in the form of the opposing offense driving right down the field when just a second ago they were about to lose the ball.

I'm not mad about the dropped Int's. I'm mad at the fact that after the drop it seems the other team magically gains momentum.
