    CoinGate

    It seems the NE Patriots have figured out the coin toss as well. It was reported that they have won 19 of their last 25 coin tosses. The odds of this happening are 1 in 100...

    1 in 189, as it turns out.

      This is flawed because your not accounting for how the coin is tossed, how high, surface it lands on, wind, etc... get my point....

        Yup. Natural conditions can have a big effect on coin flips, just like they do on ball inflation...

          Tomlin is objectively awful at coin management. He never takes into account the effect of the wind coming in from the open end of the stadium when determining whether to call Heads or Tails. He should really hire a metallic disc physics coach to help combat this fatal flaw.
          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            And, just like ball inflation, those natural conditions only affect the Patriots...

            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

              Well Ruthless, with them adding on to the open end of the stadium, it really isn't an 'open end stadium' anymore. So, your theory on the winds inside that stadium are flawed..
