Study: Patriots prevention of fumbles nearly impossible last 5 years

[williewilliejuan]

You have to admire their ability to hold on to the football.

Indeed, but it's probably easier to do if the ball isn't properly inflated.

Anybody who has followed the pats knows that if the RB fumbles, he loses his job. Well documented and not new news. Bill is so bad that if he does it leading up to the game, he dont play.

Just an epic response

So BJGE knows the Pats are cheating (he'd have to know, right), and doesn't blow the whistle when he goes to the Bengals? Does that seem likely to anyone?

Lots of reasons, I'm guessing.

#1. Being a NARC in the NFL has to be seen as just the worst because of the number of players who are cheating at something. Cheating on their wife. Cheating with PEDs. Cheating with penalties that don't get caught.

#2. Would you admit that you cheated during your prime and then got a new contract with a new employer? Of course not.

Think this could be a direct influence of deflate-gate?

Mangini did it.

Why would the Colts have no qualms about ratting on the Pats now, but BJGE would feel obligated to keep his mouth shut? It's okay as long as you never played for the prior team? Where are these rules?

No idea. I just know that the Pats are cheating and thats good enough.

I just know the Patriots aren't cheating and that's good enough. See, we can both do it.

Yeah but the difference is the whole 16,000 to 1 part and the graph that compares their fumbling to other teams. Thats more eye opening than Barry Bonds' head tripling in size

Haha, I don't know about that. That's one bigass head.

hammer, as an admin you continue to post hate threads. referred to as legal trolling I suppose. your not really fooling anyone in that regards

that said, the story is legit, but how many threads can you start that are anti patriots in one day?

 

[GoreRush]

Discussing this = hate

How dumb.

It's just this one guy saying it but I see your point. Does he post about anything else?

 

[LogicMan]

not since 2013 at least

 

[cezero]

A review by Sharp Football Analysis has revealed that, since 2007, the Patriots fumble the ball at a preternaturally low rate of once every 187 offensive snaps, far below the league average of once every 105 snaps. They calculated the odds of this occuring naturally was 16,233 to one.

Wow.

there's the zinger phrase

heh

 

[LogicMan]

New York Papers today. Patriots win nearly 80% of bad weather games.............must be deflating


If they just looked, they would realize Patriots win 80% of all games, dry or wet

Guys, the Media is out of hand

That's the media for yah,they will love you to no end and then turn on you on a dime,i suggest to Pats fans to just laugh it off until the NFL finds something,otherwise it is all he said,she said BS all the way til the game.

 

[LogicMan]

well, i still think something was not right

but just remember how the Ravens went to the airwaves on the illegal formations

to later learn that....................

Wow.

First do I think someting fishy happened to those balls? Sure but there are still too many possibilities to what actually happened.
Now on to these fumble metrics. Everyone thinking 16,233-1 is astronomical. It may be? But what are the odds for the next closet team?
I'm not going to even get into how BB selects RBs, plus the way he makes them practice with all kinds of balls under all kinds of situations. As others mentioned if you fumble you don`t play.

 

[RobBase]

The Pats also pass more than any team in the league. Some games they barely run the ball at all. Is that figured into these snaps?

 

[TP76]

Benjarvis never fumbled in college either. Must be a Bungles thing. Ladanian Tomlinson holds the all time record of 712 snaps between fumbles. Must have been the Charger stickum.

 

[Fencer]

Ridley should have received the memo

And Edelman, although he does pretty well at recovering them afterwards.
