I saw a stat that over the last 20 years or so, teams with a +5 turnover differential have an average winning margin of over 21 points. The Cowboys won by 5.

That's a legitimate reason to worry.

There was a lot of talk in the off season about our turnover margin, about giving Tony and the offense more chances and shorter fields. It wasn't just talk but some posters had numbers to back it up, they convinced me that we did need to create more opportunities for the offense and I still remain convinced. We had 6 turnovers and 2 returns for tds and one setting us up in the redzone and we still had to sweat out the win.

I don't just look at the game I'm looking at what it means in the big picture, on the bright side we don't have our starting oline yet, we still have impact players on the dline that are not yet playing, Williams showed flashes and our secondary coverage can only get better as they get comfortable in the defense.

It's worth considering that half of those 6 turnovers occurred so early in the game, in the first game of the season for a team that seems to get off to slow starts anyway. I believe that if 4 of 6 turnovers had occurred in the second half, Dallas would have better capitalized on them.

There's a huge difference between worry/concern and a great number of comments being made. I agree there are problems that give me some heartburn. There is also a lot of good things as well.
