Yes, but what do you think Sharp's agenda was here? He pointed out how odd it was for a team with such a high TO differential to have a losing record. Even if you take away those first four games, they Giants were still 5-8 with an elite TO differential the rest of the way.

His narrative was to show that the Giants were so bad that the turnover differential didn't help. That's not true, it did help them win games and keep games close when they did in the second half of the season. The Giants won the following games in the second half of the season and here are the turnover numbers. The larger the margin the larger difference in the score:

Washington 6, Giants 0  Score- 31-19
New England 3, Giants 1 Score- 10-7
Green Bay 3, Giants 2   Score- 24-22
Eagles 4, Giants 1      Score- 27-10

Ed: To be fair, it was tough for the offense to gel because of the QB carousel. Bob
