It is man. I freaking hate it.

BTW, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I am one of the few non-patriot fans who thinks Brady is getting hosed on this thing.

 

[Rock Strongo]

the reason why the pats fumble numbers are low that no one is paying attention to?

no feature back. one guy fumbles, hes benched. his replacement comes in.

most teams have a feature back who may fumble but wont lose his job. you fumble here, you get replaced.

food for thought

think someone like AP or lacy fears for their job when they fumble?

Hey Rocko, look at the team stats. It proves it out. We need an NEPACDA group for Rocko.

How do you explain Green Ellis breaking the streak for not fumbling with the Pats, only to become a fumble machine in Cincy?

i dunno...how do YOU explain ridleys 9 fumbles?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Rock, I like you man, I really do. But I think you are not being objective here. I'm simply stating the obvious, nothing more.

Ya think?

How?

Because the softer ball isn't a guarantee you won't fumble, it just helps greatly

Ask Green Ellis

ok. so one guy fumbles a lot

one guys doesnt

and both are because of the same ball?

I'd rather not re-type everything I just did

Again, it's not about individuals. It's the team statistics, since the ball is used by everyone (RB's, QB's, WR's, TE's). That stat is not deniable.

 

[Rock Strongo]

2006 - maroney has 1 fumble in 197 total touches

rule changes in 07

2009 maroney fumbles 4 times in 227 total touches

yup

with the "softer ball" maroney fumbled 3 more times in only 30 more touches.

They cheat...........Its ok, it happens...They absolutely have been deflating football during Brady*s career

I agree that Rock has started a bunch of dumb threads in this forum. But all of them combined do not equal the stupidity of the creation of this one.

LOL

Pay attention. Belichick freaking buries fumblers. Go look it up. Go learn something before you spout something.

As for Brady, in the same 4 years 2003-2006 Brady fumbled 41 times. Since then he's fumbled 40 times in 2 times as many games. Hmmmm...
