I think you guys are missing the point of the article I wrote. I am saying take out all the other factors. I do not care about turn overs, time of possession, etc. I am telling the D to suck it up, rise to the occasion and make the same plays they made in the first three quarters. I do agree the offense needs to step it up in a big way and if they do, I like our Super Bowl chances. However, the D needs to not take a step backwards in the fourth quarter - regardless of the circumstances. Why does a turn over prevent the D from causing a three and out?

Take the three regular season games from last year. If the D steps up and we win those games, we would have finished 13-3, tied with Ind for the #2 seed (not sure of tie breakers) and then who knows what would have happened since we would not have had to play Jacksonville.

Also, check out the TOP for seven games I listed. The Stillers won TOP on 5 of 7 of them, so that excuse is out.

Emotion matters in football. (don't know why, but it does)
Turnovers swing emotion.
