It's official... I'm off the Romo bandwagon. Can't wait until he's gone.

PUNTS. Forced punts by the defense. Is that not a turnover? What is the difference between a fumble recovery, an INT, a turnover on downs, and a forced punt ALL BY THE DEFENSE? Do they not all accomplish the same thing, which is to prevent the opposing offense from scoring and getting the ball back for your offense?

The defense forced 6 punts in that game, and what was the net result?

If the defense got 6 INTs or 6 fumble recoveries, but the offense fails to capitalize on any of those... how are those 6 INTs and forced fumbles any different from the 6 forced punts?

And like how you said that fumbles are volitional, how even moreso in forcing a team to punt?

So when Garrett states that the defense didn't get any turnovers, he's full of shit. Those 6 forced punts in that game were the turnovers.

I tend to agree with your punt to turnover comparison especially since it wasn't that long ago when we had a defense that could go entire games without forcing an opposing offense to punt even once.

Only different in terms of field position. Typically the punt is less advantageous to your O than a pick or a fumble recovery, field position-wise.

But yeah, you have a good point.

I have watched the boys for over 40 years and that was by far the worst D I ever saw. Truly nauseating.

Since Garret and his band of boobs will be coaching the senior bowl and will have plenty of time to spend with Carson Wentz that he slaps the "right kinda guy" tag on him and ends taking him with our fourth overall pick. Even when Wentz is not deserving of that high of a pick

I can see Wentz charming carrot top and that would be enough for us to blow the first round pick on him

does not matter if he charms red ball; he charms Jerruh and the pick will go in this time; Jerruh will not let them deprive him of a big splash pick two years in a row.
