It's not the number in and of itself that matters. But losing TOP consistently, means you don't control the tempo of the game. It indicates you can't run the ball or stop the other team.
Period
*We also dominated TOP against the Vikings and beat them with our 3rd string QB so you conveniently left that out.

That is because when running was a more integral part of the game, it mattered more.
Time of possession is one of the most overrated statistics there is. We had one of the best offenses of ALL TIME last year and were 27th in time of possession. It's about efficiency. When you score quickly with big strikes, you won't have a ton of time of possession.
Are you saying scoring quickly & efficiently is bad?
