papazoid Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Just when you think the Pats have exhausted all possible avenues for cheating, deception, and overall scumbaggery, they once again find a way to outdo themselves. It would appear that the Patriots have somehow found a way to even cheat the coin toss. the Pats have won 19 of the past 25 coin flips. The odds of that happening are 0.0073 - less than three quarters of one percent. http://www.patspulpit.com/2015/11/4/9672716/the-patriots-cheat-at-coin-flips-too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Theyre on an unprecedented hot streak in all aspects of the game. Hard to believe its the same joke of a franchise from the 80s and 90s. Cant wait until they finally get knocked down a few steps (i.e. Brady) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the rules, its cheating. Colts* I say, Colts*. They suck and they cheated!

plenzmd1 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Belicheck has figured something here...weighting the coin before its given to the ref???? I actually was thinking about this the other day...may seem small but i think having the ball to open the second half can be a big deal. Hate that it rests with luck and luck alone. I think they should just give the home team option at start of every game....and only throw the coin to start overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 can't find it now, but read something a week ago that said the Bills had the lowest win % (last in league) for the coin toss over the last so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon in Pasadena Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Technically, those are the odds of winning at least 19 out of 25 flips with a fair coin. But yeah. They probably **** gold bricks, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmu1977 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Brady is on the juice or some special sauce put together by his personal trainer.

Leroi Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Integrity of the game has been compromised. Allegations will continue until one sticks. The Only way to gain back integrity is for them to admit there actions and seek forgiveness from the league or they need to be eliminated from the league. This team is the C. Tan of the NFL, and it's embarrassing. Imo Edited November 5, 2015 by Leroi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Belichick is a Sith Lord after all. I'm sure he is simply using the power of the force to control the coin while in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I might be considered a Pats apologist but this is just weird. Amazing, and weird. I'm the first one to assume that the Patriots will look for a way to cheat at any and everything, but ... from a statistics perspective, this is not a highly unusual result when looking at 32 teams. You're going to have a big bell in the middle, but one or two teams out at both extremes of the tail. Sorry, but this one is a big nothing.

Maybe he is using the stuff that ben carson shills, excuse me Ben has nothing to do with nanotech. "Balance in all things in life is a good thing," he said. "Obviously having your body in balance is really important. Certainly keeping your arm in good shape. And it kills me to see all these pitchers having Tommy John surgery, knowing that could be avoided. Hamstring pulls and groin injuries, so many of these things that I just shake my head and I go, I can't believe that this still happens in today's day and age. That's why Alex and I started TB12, because I felt based on the care that I received over 10 years, I can't — this is what my calling will be after football, is to educate people, and what it really takes." http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2015/10/tom_brady_is_fired_up_about_nu.html Great now he will play till he is 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
