Regarding point 3, turnover margin is mostly a matter of luck/chance and game situation. If you are usually ahead and running the ball, you will almost certainly have a positive margin, and if you are usually behind and passing it will almost certainly be negative.

Given our weak team we will probably have a negative margin. But given the randomness of turnovers, it's probably unlikely we will continue to have as negative of a margin as we presently do. That's about as much optimism as I can manage for this squad.

Actually it’s not so simple. Good teams with depth bench guys who turn the ball over.  Teams with no depth have to stick with the best athlete even if they cough it up. Bill belechik is legendary for sitting guys who fumble.

Leaders don't wait and see. We have no leaders.

You must be getting old. There’s a new kind of leader out there.  He goes with the flow and then says “see, I told you so” when the flow is right and “that wasn’t my call” when the flow is wrong.  No political comment needed or appropriate for this board. It’s the way too many young people are being brought up these days. 

Leadership is no longer testing your hypothesis, it’s fitting your hypothesis to the data, to talk nerdy on it.
