Super Farce XLIX, The Cheats: Physics, Statistics, and Why This Whole Patriot Run Might Be a Farce

I used to be a statistician in high school, so numbers fascinate me.

This Deflate-Gate thing might just have invalidated the rest of the "War on Terror" Patriots' 6 AFC titles.

We know, basically, the Patriots were cheating in probably the three wins.

Now the two losses and this year's AFC title game are in question too, and it's not just easier throwing and catching of the football.

According to Yahoo! Sports, statisticians, since the beginning of the Deflate-Gate saga, started looking at another statistic and realized that there is a real statistically-significant possibility that the Patriots have been illegally deflating or otherwise modifying the game balls they play with since the teams have been allowed to provide and use their own game balls in 2007.

The statistic the studies have pointed to is the statistic on how rarely the Patriots fumble the football.

The NFL average, according to Greg Matthews of Loyola University of Chicago, of fumbles is that, on average, a team will fumble once every 100 carries.

2007-2014, the New England Patriots averaged 0.63 fumbles per 100 carries.

To give a perspective, that means, in the number of carries an average team fumbles 3 times, the Patriots fumble only 1.89.

Again, the league began to allow teams to use their own balls in 2007.

Tom Brady, before this date, averaged almost 10 fumbles a season in that span.  He's almost halved that down to 5.28 for the last seven.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....

The Patriots will now have been in three Super Bowls in that span.

The Patriots went 16-0 and 19-1 the first season of the change.

The Patriots have made the playoffs every year in that stretch save ONE.  And that year, they went 11-5 and lost on tiebreakers.

This whole thing is a farce. 

In eight years since they started this, the Patriots have only lost 28 regular season games.

I think we're beginning to find out why.
