Man, we are up to 5 words!

[TTTBone]

I was amazed by the San Fran +10 turnovers. Team should have a better record than .500 with that.

Another word.......... Gonzo

Cleveland is 6th in Time of Possesion!?!?! How is it that we find a way not to score then?

I was amazed by the San Fran +10 turnovers. Team should have a better record than .500 with that.

I wonder how much of that has to do with their rotating kicker job. They never seem to have faith in their kicker and whoever that sorry kid is on a given week has got to fear for their job every time they step on the field. Which is not necessarily conducive to good performance. And you know a lot of teams with a plus turnover differential convert that to points through field goals, at least a real good portion of the time.

And I wonder how much of the SF kicking thing is the Bay Area wind? You don't see the Saints playing kicker swap meet do ya?
