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. |

My biggest problem with the whole deflategate fiasco was Tom Brady insulting everybody's intelligence by pretending he had no idea why ANYONE would EVER deflate a football. He didn't even have to admit to any wrongdoing. All he had to do was say "We don't have to deflate footballs to win games", and then go out and do it. But he didn't do that. He tried to play the innocent naive victim card. He's a great quarterback, and he's a multi-millionaire with a supermodel wife. He's also kind of a pussy. |

I never bought into that as proof of anything. I think Brady has dispelled the myth he needs under inflated balls to play well.

Freaking hilarious a fan of a team we swept this year and that hasn't had a winning season in 20 years is talking smack on a Chiefs forum.

The Pats cheated. It should have been a slap on the wrist. |

They still cheated. You can whine, cry, and stomp your feet all you want Asterisk and it won't change that they cheated.
