Maybe this has to do with the fact that you will left in the doghouse if you fumble ONCE.

Here are the damning league rankings for the Patriots in terms of fumbles:

It's fumbles lost. If you recover your fumbles the stat changes.
Graph the % running plays vs passing over the same timescale and you'll notice a decrease. Most fumbles are by RBs.
At the end of the day, the turnover stat is one of the most compelling in all of football.
I say anything bb can do personnel wise or drill wise to help ensure we do not turn the ball over, especially on fumbles only makes us stronger.
Unoriginal said:What actually happened in 2013 is the Colts stole the Pats illegal footballs before the season and substituted their own rock-hard fumble-prone footballs in their place. The Pats detected the ruse this offseason and stole the rigged balls back.
Where did this come from?
The data I provided.
Of course I do.
It's kind of odd that BJGE started fumbling in Cincy though. Reverting to the mean makes sense especially being coached by Marvin Lewis but its not like he forgot what he learned in New England. So why the sudden increase?
How do you know the Colts "stole the Pats illegal footballs in 2013 and the Pats detected the ruse and stole them back?"
The implications (if true) are obvious
The data is incontrovertible that the Pats and the Colts had complete opposite results in 2013 for team fumbles. Since the Pats performance in the surrounding years was caused by the properties of Patriots footballs, the only way to explain this statistical anomaly is by concluding the Colts must have had the Patriot footballs that year.
Oh gosh..........you're statistical data as a basis for actual theft? Come on.....................
