Redskins # 1 in GWP Efficiency through 3 Weeks

Our turnover margin is the mainreason we are 2-1. Plain and simple. It is hard to lose the turnover battle on a game by game basis and win those games. Any time you force a turnover it is a swing. Add the other's teams average score per drive and your own score per drive and that is the size of the swing. It we're both averaging 3 points per drive then we have a 6 point swing. Simplistic way to look at it for sure but it leads you down the right intellectual path to udnerstanding why turnovers are so important.

Call me a Downer but I am getting nervous about all this talk of no turnovers. Seems like I have seen/heard the print media, fan sites and radio shows all say how great our turnover ratio is. To the superstitious person that I am, all this talk only guarrantees that the 'Skins will have a 6 turnover day against Dallas.

That would suck.

I like the fact that Arizona is #2.
