Am I a bad researcher or are the Patriots fumbling less than last year?
Question occurred to me on the way to work this morning. I am a Pats fan, was a long suffering fan before Brady came along, and though I'm not in love with Tommy, do not believe he was responsible for super evil bad awful wrong behavior that caused other NFL teams to suck when they played him.
Do the patriot haters want to comment?
NFL Fumbles per Game (By Year)
Looks to ME like it's .8 per game this year, .9 prior (the year of the cheatriot)
I also open the the discussion for those who didn't think the Patriots were evil cheaters and have been proven correct this season, but also invite our friends from other less successful NFL towns :-) to comment or rant. Get out your knives!!!!
Yea— the deflated football story was perhaps the most overblown story ever-—
Kraft has Goodell in his back pocket. That is why the rules and refs always favor the Deflatriots! ;-)
Moderators - sorry - originally had that titled as vanity ... then shortened title when it was too long ... vainly removed the vanity ...
Not overblown to weak minded idiots, though!
There are people living in their parents’ cellars who are still, Captain Queeg-like, trying to piece together some way that the Patriots deflated footballs.
It’s pretty funny to watch...:)
Good graphic. I’m a Pats fan (we are spoiled silly. Imagine it being matter of fact that we’re Super Bowl favorites going into every year) but this poster has trolled his own thread and even aggravated me.
Sigh. Trolling on this type of thing is too much like real fishing in a pond where there aren’t any fish.
I blame manning and Brady for lobbying the rules committee to get separate balls for each team.
I think the league should supply however many regulation balls and that’s what they use in the game.
Kickers as well.
yea— the casual football fan— who hate the Patriots will still blame Brady and the Patriots for deflategate— anyone serious though knows it is a bunch of nothing..
That’s ridiculous. I live in Texas, and the Patriots are simply better. There was no real evidence on the deflation. In fact, it is probably the case that Goodell and other administrative idiots in the NFL don’t understand the Ideal Gas Laws. The phone non-issue was just an attempt to save face on the part of Goodell et. al. I also note that the NFL has not been aggressive in punishing guys Burflict, who should have been thrown out of the League for that recent, deliberate attempt to decapitate that receiver well after the play was over. A repeat offender gets a three game suspension for something that should be criminally prosecuted?? Although I normally wouldn’t care, I hope the Patriots win the Super Bowl just to shove it up Goodell’s @!*&$#@!.
It should tell everyone something when the NFL s handpicked court,laughed the NFLs case out of court.
Since deflate gate Tom Terrific has won two playoff games and super bowl mvp.
It never made any difference before last year, and it still doesn’t.
Did you hear about the officials for the Patriots-Kansas City game this past weekend?
They are supposed to have some kind of stupid rigorous program with logs, calibrated gauges, chain of custody, and so on, because God knows how vitally important to the integrity of the game all of this is.
They left the balls at the hotel. They had to send an “escort” back to the hotel to get them.
That is how stupidly important all of this is.
I hope the Patriots win the Super Bowl ...
