    2 or 3 games out of 16 is not consistently blowing leads. How many of those games did not feature points off turnovers from the opposition? Please answer that. A football game is the sum of the entire game, not one drive near the end. Turnovers & 3 and outs put the defense on the field longer than they should be and as a result they are worn out by the end. You HAVE to factor in turnovers.

    it absolutely is, 2-3 is an incredible amount.

    Let's check how many times they were in a situation like that and came through.

    2009:
    vs. NE
    vs. Buf(at Toronto)

    failed 3 times, succeed 2 times, 40% success rate.

    2010:
    at Miami(though they blew a double digit lead and nearly blew the game)
    Minnesota(though the blew a double digit lead and nearly blew the game)
    at Pitt(though they nearly blew the game)

    3 success, 3 fail. 50%

    2011:
    Dal

    1 success, 3 failures, 25%

    2012:
    Arizona
    Tennessee

    2 success, 2 failures. 50%

    total: 11 failures, 8 success. 42%

    an elite D should be closer to 80%
