They are averaging 1 in every 187 plays while league average is 1 fumble on ever 105 plays.
The chance of this happening is 1 in 16,233.

Imagine how stunning their fumble ratio would've been without Ridley.

How long could they have been doing this? I feel like it's been a while and they finally got busted.

I think the patriots are pumping hot air into the game balls before ref inspects them.
Then the ball will cool down and the pressure reduced.
Nobody is tamping the balls. Just some simple physics

Can't wait for the congressional hearings on this after the Super Bowl.

This is the first time I've been interested in the story. Solid post. I could see something coming of this.

You've been had.
The Patriots have fumbled once every 67 offensive plays (once per game) since the beginning of the 2007 season, not once every 187 plays.
NFL stats per NFL.com and Pro football Reference websites:
Offensive Plays by New England:
2007 - 1080
2008 - 1126
2009 - 1189
2010 - 1078
2011 - 1002
2012 - 1072
2013 - 1094
2014 - 1053
Total offensive plays 2007 through 2014 seasons = 8494
Fumbles by New England per season:
2007 - 14
2008 - 17
2009 - 17
2010 - 9
2011 - 15
2012 - 14
2013 - 27
2014 - 16
Total fumbles 2007-2014 seasons = 129
8494 offensive plays divided by 129 fumbles = 1 every 67.39 offensive plays
By comparison, another bad-weather, winning team, 2007-2014 Green Bay Packers averaged 5 fumbles more per season than the Patriots did over that 8 year span. FIVE per season. One additional fumble for every 3+ games.

In addition, your PJMEDIA guy repeatedly quoted 2007 as the beginning year for studies numbers, while the Sharp Football website clearly states they only went back to the year 2010. The significance of this 3-year variance is that PJMEDIA attempted to link it with 2007 because both "Spygate" and the perfect 16-0 regular season took place in 2007, creating a scenario that the Patriots started "cheating" on ball pressure immediately after being caught doing the sideline filming. The numbers used by PJMEDIA in your link are for 5 years not 8 years as they claim, and they are incorrect anyway
Some of you can read just about anything on the internet and run with it, when you can just as easily verify the numbers for yourself. But then, it sounds so much more sinister to claim they fumbled once every 187 offensive plays than once every 67 offensive plays.

Must be the deflated balls.

You just got your sorry arse roasted. I will never take you seriously again for what it's worth.
My personal favorite is you show a "love for statistics". You just don't show a love for fact checking.
