    It's sad that this fact isn't reported anywhere. That guy Sharp did his analysis a couple years ago, and it has pretty much been validated. It also sucks that they haven't really felt the effects yet in terms of losses.
    I wasn't hired for my disposition.

    I noticed this, but I thought it was my inner bias showing. I didn't think to count. Glad this is vindicated. They almost certainly didn't deserve the recent SB.

    I like to razz him, but, he's usually a reasonable fan - would love to hear his take on this one...

    I'm hoping that happens in, oh, say their first playoff game...

    Deflategate was 2014. The league changed their procedures starting in the 2015 season. If the theory is (1) fumble rate is affected by air pressure, and (2) the Patriots were deflating balls, then why didn't the Patriots fumble rate rise dramatically in 2015?

    Also, have you considered that the players change every year?

    Some of the fumbles this year are due to Cyrus Jones - that kid just can't seem to field NFL punts, even though he was a returner at Alabama.

    This and also, without knowing how many fumbles we're talking about, the difference between fourth most and second least could conceivably be four fumbles (which would leave not much to glean).

    Statistics of small numbers is a dicey proposition...

    and Belicheck is known for benching guys that can't hang on to the ball so I suspect this Jones kid won't see a ball for a while.

    I almost jumped on this fumble gate until I looked at who fumbled. Backup QB's had 7 fumbles, the returner Jones has another 2 or 3.

    Nothing to see here.
    I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.

    "Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
