Haven't cast any shadows on 2000-2006...just used them as point of comparison to later years...
Not sure why you FEEL the need to defend their 2000 - 06 squads...
Again, you're reading challenged...Their fumble rates were 1.4 to 1.6 2003 thru 2006...nobody's a shadow on those years...
Their fumble rates for 2007 & follows:
0.8, 1.1, 1.1, 0.7, 1.3, 1.0, 1.9 and 0.9...
It went up in 2013 because they committed 6 fumbles -- one-fourth of their season total ... in a freezing game vs. Denver in which the Broncos fumbled 5x.
But, again, thanks for opening the door for me to share the above.
Didn't squeeze it into the thread...so your comment allows the light of day to shine on New England's dark corners during the '07 to 14 seasons!
What’s that you say one game in bad weather totally threw off your bullshit conspiracy theory?
