The Giants enter Week 4 with the worst turnover differential in football (-6).
Minny enters this match-up with the best turnover differential in football (+8).
Obviously, turnovers are a huge deal in the NFL. Obviously. But given the above ratios... this category kinda jumps to the forefront of attention this week.
and both a on the coaches. These are correctable things that good teams don't do.
This will fall at the heels of Ben if not improved.
Need no turnovers Monday night against The Vikings.
Lets hope the numbers even out as the season wears on.
Doesn't work that way.
If you flip a coin and get heads 10 times in a row, your chances of landing heads again on the 11th flip is still 50-50
So far this season, Minny has had a rip-roaring pass rush. The Giants... not near as much.
That's gonna directly translate into this discussion.
obviously they have to correct stuff, but its about getting the ball down the field successfully and holding onto the damn ball.

Clams, you are 100% correct re the point of the OP.
However, since this topic comes up so frequently (and I can't help pulling your chain ever so gently) I need to remind everyone that the principle you cited applies ONLY if the events are completely random.
However by the same token, if they ARE random (not a result of a specific cause, e.g. poor technique) then the Giants could just as well get "lucky" in their next 3 games and beat their previous mean.

i just hope they don't turn super conservative due to the turnovers..

I actually thought we would be more explosive yet were
far from it and when we run ..Even the North Koreans
know were gonna run ...
I can't think of any play this year that I haven't seen for
the last three years and to me the Opposition feels the
same way .. Now they Dare us to go deep because they
don't respect our run game ...
Unless we catch Minny napping early this one could get ugly
Peterson wasn't doing anything behind when he was healthy, and the strength of our D right now is run defense. If we get smoked, it'll be because their defense completely stifles our offense.
