What you can’t count is the number of fumbles that did not occur by the Pats because they kept trotting into the end zone untouched. It’s really hard to force a fumble with stern looks alone.

I don’t know what you’re trying to say, other than the deflation, if it occurred, did not affect the outcome of the game. Which, if you read my post, is something I already acknowledged.
I was responding to a claim that the score would have changed by, at most, 7 points, because the Colts only fumbled once. I was pointing out that the true effect on the score was the fumbles that would have occurred with a properly inflated ball that did not occur with an underinflated ball. This is an unknowable value. The point was not that it would have changed the game, but that the point of analysis (Colt fumbles) was incorrect.
Nothing you said contradicts my point.
