Of course you’d leave out that per the same text string you cited, the officials had pumped up the balls to 16 PSI and set them for play in the game. THAT is what he was cited as being upset about.

Well, let's see...8 years of football since the Pats started supplying offensive one.

128 regular-season games. With playoffs and some Super Bowls, about 140 games.

If the avg PSI for 140 games was 11 point something...and they had to deal with ONE beyond the pale PSI...STILL averages 11 point something PSI per game.

The Patriots since 2006 have fumbled the ball less than every indoor team that has the advantage of no weather home games...Unusual, eh?

Or how about the reality that the Patriot DEFENSE fumbled the ball as often in 2001 as the Patriots' running backs did rushing the ball for the entire 2007 and 2008 seasons combined (35 games including three playoff games)?!

...Or the Pat DEFENSE fumbled the ball as much combining regular seasons 1999-2003 as did the Patriots running backs' rushing the ball combining regular seasons 2007-2008 and 2010-2011?

Hmmm...

Those Patriot Lucky Charms have sure been "delicious" to them...

Now that the NFL has caught on...fumbles will return to New England in 2015 and beyond!

The analysis of how many running plays each team averages, how often fumbles happen when you have fewer running plays, teams that don’t have ‘feature’ running backs with 2-3 dozen carries per game and are not as tired at the end of the game when you more likely to fumble.

Stick with the bold/large...much more convincing than any actual analysis...

Are you familiar with the phrase “non sequitur”?
