Why, that lack-of-fumbles data almost suggests that the Patriots have been engaging in nefarious activities with footballs going back to the 2007 season!
So, nefarious, in fact, that the Patriots' DEFENSE fumbled the ball...
...more often in (take your pick which of these following seasons) – 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999 than the Patriots' running backs did rushing the ball in 2007 – even including all three playoff games?
...That Patriot DEFENSE fumbled the ball as often in 2001 as the Patriots' running backs did rushing the ball for the entire 2007 and 2008 seasons combined (35 games including three playoff games)?!
...That Patriot DEFENSE fumbled the ball as much combining regular seasons 1999-2003 as did the Patriots running backs' rushing the ball combining regular seasons 2007-2008 and 2010-2011?
Nefarious indeed! Shenanigans indeed!
Easy BB emphasis not fumbling the ball benching/cutting players who fumble. Not running as much as other teams.
Since you refuse to consider the simple situation about ball pressure your team must lose to the Pats a lot you mad bro?
