Study: Patriots prevention of fumbles nearly impossible last 5 years

[BobGnarly]

Thought this was odd too:
BJGE with Patiots: 0 fumbles in 557 carres
BJGE with Bengals: 5 fumbles in 517 carries

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.

16,233 to one.

Explain that number in any rational form RJ Macready,Robotic any one of you explain it please because i want your math formula so i can go and hit Vegas.

Add robtoxin too i guess.

INB4 jokes about how the Pats handle balls better than everybody else.

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.

lmfao

So true

Realistically, it's possible it's coaching? Tiki Barber was fumbling at least twice a game for years, he was fucking brutal carrying the football. Tom Coughlin comes along, changes the way he holds the ball, boom the guy becomes a beast. Cheater or not Bill B is smarter than every single coach in the league so it's not impossible to think he could improve things like carrying the football.

There are a lot of teams that do this so it still doesn't explain the huge difference between them and the next best team at holding onto the football. If it was a small difference yeah that wouldn't be an issue but we are talking an astronomical number that is supposed to be nearly impossible. When you mix in what has all come about this past week it makes it that much harder to believe that they haven't been manipulating the football for years to gain an edge.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, well then most likely it is a duck. When you start putting all of these puzzle pieces together it does not look good for the Pats.

yes, yes it does. why do you think they jumped on blount?

read, learn

In before "but... but... but..." excuses.

Edit: Whoops, way too late.

The snowball effect is incredible. Won't be long before an angry ex-player comes forward and spills the beans on these cheaters and they get the death penalty.

Wow.

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

Hammer , let the hate spew. Truth is, your with 98% of the media. I just wonder if Gisele is in Toms ear with a vengeance right now. She can get nasty when her boy is getting dissed

Robert Kraft is paying them off for their silence.

Why doesn't someone ask the player that probably would know the best? BJGE?

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?

Discussing this = hate
