Patriots Fumble Rates since 2007 rule change
TheBillsWillRiseAgain replied to somnus00's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure how people could still be claiming this study is flawed. The wall street journal doesn't exactly post garbage. The study has been redone to include all fumbles both lost and not and the Patriots are still off the charts. And why are people acting like the Patriots are the only team that benches players that fumble? -
The average person wouldn't notice a corked bat, yet it provides a huge advantage. When you're talking about repeat offenders from the largest cheating scandal in NFL history, it becomes less about how much of ajar advantage it is and more about the fact that they're cheating period. Anyone thinking the Patriots are being unfairly persecuted needs to realize that they forfeitted the right to get the benefit of the doubt when they were caught cheating in 2007. Period.

I have a bad feeling they're not going to do anything because they "Don't have any/enough proof" to pin it on the Patriots. Which is bull ****. Within the last 3 days I someone post Roger Goodell's letter to the competition committee he wrote right after Spygate that basically said that from here on out the league was going to significantly relax the "burden of proof" required of the league when dealing with these matters. I have a feeling the words in that letter are going to splashed all over the internet when the league claims they don't have the evidence to punish the pats. Does anyone have a link to that letter or what it said? I'm driving myself crazy trying to find it on google.

Nevada State Senator Rips the NFL today Harry Reid, Dean Heller rip NFL for ‘deflategate’ By Lucy McCalmont 1/22/15 6:08 PM EST Nevada Sen. Dean Heller ® called upon the National Football League Thursday to “restore the credibility of the game” in the wake of the alleged use of underinflated balls recently by the New England Patriots. “I am seeking decisive actions ensuring all teams are playing according to the rules,” Heller said Thursday in a statement, adding that the league should work with the NFL Players Association to resolve the issue ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 1.... http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/deflategate-patriots-nfl-harry-reid-dean-heller-114513.html

I actually don't care if the league does absolutely nothing or even if the Patriots go on the win the bowl AS LONG AS this scandal is finally the one, when combined with everything else, that forever taints the legacy of Bellichick and Brady. If 30 years from now people talk about those two as being embroiled in huge cheating scandals, I'll be a happy man.

Of Cheating and the past 15 years

Yep it's yards per attempt. It was from an article on USA TODAY a couple days ago: http://thebiglead.com/2015/01/21/the-patriots-pass-the-ball-unusually-well-in-cold-weather-compared-to-other-teams/ -
I'd imagine the league is scrambling to figure out exactly what to do before Goddell makes a press conference. The problem is that everyone's patience is thin because he took so long on the Ray Rice thing. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear from him within the next couple days and he announces the investigation has been completed and lays out the punishment(if there is any) right then and there.

Something that makes me think the league is just doing this to cause drama and pump up ratings for the Superbowl is that the Colts player who intercepted the ball posted on Twitter yesterday "Um, I don't know who said that but I didn't notice anything about the ball." I get the feeling that the league has known the Patriots have been doing this for a long time and only chose to make a big deal out of it right before the Superbowl.

To me this very well-written breakdown is about as close to a smoking gun as you can possibly get. It shows that the Patriots have been cheating for years. http://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/blog/?p=2932 -
