That's 57% for veteran leagues.

Looking at the snapshot of 5 leagues from rookie to vet that number is closer to 65/35 in favor of the offense.

A more in depth study might show the % in favor for the offense to be lower, but it might also turn out to be higher.

I didn't really expect anything to be done about it - I just thought it was interesting, and wasn't sure if someone might have a decent explanation for why it might be like that. So far not.

How many of them are qbs and punters fumbling especially in rookie. We had 5 fumbles in our last game and 3 were just snapfumbles

Looking at some stats across all leagues the offense recovers fumbles currently at nearly a 3-1 advantage over the defense.

Stats from 5 leagues from rookie to veteran -

fumbles 140
fumbles lost 50

One league had an 18-8 line which was the closest to being even, all the rest were in the 30-10 neighborhood.

Not sure what is factoring into the offense making the recovery at such a higher rate but the rolls are definitely skewed in their favor.


Keep in mind fumbled snaps and handoffs. Those majority of the time will be recovered by O and thus skew the results.
