Or maybe Bellichek has far less tolerance for RBs or receivers who tend to fumble, even if very effective, otherwise.
Or maybe they just cheat, lol. Pats fans are looking a lot lot like Obama cultists these days. Very scary to watch their reactions.
And the whole rest of the NFL isn’t?
That makes perfect sense since they drafted guys (like Maroney) and signed guys that have a reputation and record of holding the ball, which is a proven key to success in the NFL. They never draft high (because they win so much) so they find other metrics in players that increase their value and build a game plan around the positives.
They don’t draft flashy guys, they don’t sign high profile guys in their prime but they do get guys that understand how to win and that fit into their game plan.
But I’m sure that all the haters would be able to note the subtle differences between a ball inflated to 12 and 11.5 PSI because it’s the sole and total reason the Pats win games..
These arguments are getting pathetic and petty.
