WHy THis guy wasn’t hired instead of Wells....... whatever.
Nice find!
Not noted is the junky (Chinese?) gages used by the nfl!
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!
| Category | 2006 NE Season | 2007 NE Season |
| Overall fumbles | 31 (27 regular season) | 17 (14 regular season) |
| Rushing fumbles by Patriot running backs | 7 (19 games, including 3 playoffs) | 0 (19 games, including 3 playoffs) |
| Fumble rate per game | Avg team: 1.5 vs. NE's 1.6 | Avg team: 1.6 vs. NE's 0.8 (Less fumbles by half!) Note: Even indoor based teams averaged 1.55 fumbles per game) |
| Brady's Completion % | 61.8% | 68.9% |
| Fumbles by Teams Per Game | ||||
| 2003-2006 NE | 2003-2006 Other 31 teams | 2007-2014 NE | 2007-2014 Other 23 Outdoor teams | 2007-2014 Indoor-based teams (8) |
| 1.46 | 1.6 | 0.96 [this is improvement of 1 less fumble every 2 games vs. previous NE teams] | 1.46 [this means one more fumble every 2 games than NE] | 1.29 [this means one more fumble every 3 games than NE] |

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!
