Smash Boy Report post Posted October 23, 2012 A Mako approved thread. Some compelling statistics: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports...fSZ66NC0wGQhN/0 "What isn’t in dispute is Belichick and the Patriots — despite a Week 2 loss to the Cardinals this season — remain practically untouchable at Gillette Stadium long after Spygate was uncovered. Including playoff games, the Patriots are 34-7 (.829) at home since Spygate was uncovered after the 2007 season opener and 77-16 (.828) since 2002, numbers that are such huge statistical outliers in the NFL’s salary-cap era of parity that O’Leary says they can’t be attributed just to Belichick’s coaching skills and Brady’s quarterbacking." "Even fishier to O’Leary and Zang is the Patriots posting five unbeaten regular seasons of 8-0 at home from 2001-11 and winning 31 consecutive home games in one stretch with Brady at quarterback. Zang describes the five unbeaten home records as “an extreme statistical anomaly” compared with the rest of the NFL, where almost half of the league has failed to do that even once since true free agency arrived 20 years ago." Just think about the Steeler, Cowboy, 49er, Packer dynasties.... NONE of them were able to accomplish this level of home field dominance in the pre-free agency/salary cap era. Just focusing on statistics alone, it is pretty out there, IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
