Remember the Bogus "Pats Fumble Rate Proves Deflategate" story...?
Happy New Year to you all!
First, CHIEFS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS so nobody gives a damn about the Patriots, Deflategate or their fumble rate. Yeah, I know. But obviously I couldn't resist posting this: Patriots 2015 fumble rate was 0.9 per game. Tied for second best in teh NFL (with the Chiefs no less). https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/fumbles-per-game In 2014 it was 0.9 per game, also tied for second best. 2013: 1.5 per game (24th) 2012: 0.9 per game (tied - 5th) 2011: 0.9 per game (4th) 2010: 0.7 per game (1st) 2009: 1.1 per game (4th) 2008: 1.1 per game (tied - 3rd) 2007: 0.8 per game (1st) The crap article was here: http://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com...rly-impossible The article essentially argues that such a sustained low fumble rate is impossible, using junk numbers, and therefore helps "prove" Deflategate. Yet unsurprisingly the Patriots basically did what they pretty much always did, and what they will likely continue to do with BB/Brady (who are the main reasons for the low fumble rate). Looks like it wasn't so "sharp" after all. |

Your honestly gonna try and have an intelligent argument with a bunch of fair wether fans who are now suddenly crowing like roosters this , when they’ve been crapping like pidgins on the Chiefs on this forum for years?.....
God help us if they pull off a win next week, you’ll never hear the end of it until they lose again, then the same cycle will begin. I’m surprised they havent hired another plane to do a fly by because their boys lost 5 games this season. The Pats of the 2000's are like the Cowboys of the 80's....everyone hates them, it'll pass. Brady will get another ring or two before he retires, Bill will go down as one of the greatest coaches of all time, life will move on.

They are obviously still deflating balls. Or fellating them. Not sure.

I agree, I don't see them winning much of anything this year. They are crawling ass backwards into the playoffs. Hopefully with Edelman back blah, blah, blah, but they have looked terriblef or over a month.

How many times the Patriots crossed my mind this year: 0
Your football team isn't as critical to human life as you pretend it is |

They never cheated so I never paid attention to those asinine claims.

I think deflategate was a bunch of nonsense really, but .7 to 1.5 is > 100% increase

The Pats cheated
The nfl ridiculously overreached Deflated footballs don't give that much advantage, but that doesn't justify the act of cheating End of story. |

Tom Brady denies and then subverts.
