    This stat about Tomlin's record is all over the place and i have tried to find the list of teams that we've lost to that have these horrible records. The reason I want to find them is to see if turnovers are actually the "reason" for us losing those games. Tomlin keeps saying that and I would love to know if it is actually true. I'm not saying it is or isn't. I'm just curious what the TO ratio is in those games. I am willing to offer a reward to anyone who can find this elusive list. LOL.

    That stat is dubious and computer-generated. So, for instance, the loss to Baltimore in week 2 counts as one of these because Baltimore was 0-1 at the time.

    That's what I was figuring. I think the stat should really be based on games that were played a little later in the season. However, I did see another stat that said we were 7-11 vs losing teams and a lot of that list WAS composed of games that took place later in the season. I would like to see a list that maybe starts in week 8 or so because Tomlin teams typically start slow. HOWEVER, just because those teams records might have been like 0-2 or whatever I bet a lot of them STILL wound up with really bad records and that still doesn't look good on us. Here's an article detailing some of these ridiculous losses. I think you will really enjoy this because you like stats a lot.

    Huh? You want to give Tomlin a mulligan for having his team unprepared to play early in the season???

    Its a misleading stat, losing to an 0-1 Ravens team at the beginning of the season isn't the same as losing to a 1-8 Jets team. Thats what he meant.

    I agree that early season records can be meaningless.
