5 interceptions in maybe 10 passes in the Atlanta game when were already largely winning. Either I'm cursed, either "bad die rolls" should be toned down a bit (or decision logic amended a bit so good qbs avoid risky passes when there's no need to). I honestly think that there have been a problem with excessive interceptions in Detroit games lately.

Rotor,

Can you tell us exactly what your looking at. I don't see that you have a team.

I have a team : MFN2 Detroit

Thanks, I couldn't see that.

The interceptions have recently been turned down, but as always it's still a work in progress - I'll make a note to look at the int ratios again now that we've been using that update for a little bit.

Mfn2 : Arizona Detroit : 6 (six!) interceptions by Detroit QB. I can't help but think that's purely arbitrary. Else, if there's a precise reason why a good qb throws bunches of picks and the other not (db - wr speed ratio ?, qb mobility?), it should be known because it's a game changer and it's quasi impossible to determine it just with the game logs (at least for me :) ) It can't be just a normal combination of factors (personnel, gameplan) in my opinion where there's so much difference (6 int to 1) between 2 teams that are not so much far apart

I definitely understand the frustration, but four games is a relatively small sample size to base anything definitive off of. Even Brady and Peyton have terrible games, after all. Also, if there was a specific culprit at play, I would definitely cast a lingering glance towards a very paltry WR group. Even with a savvy vet behind center, there's only so much one can do if your players aren't getting open and making plays.

This is absolutely correct, you can have the best QB but without a good OL and good WR's to throw to you will have lots of bad games. Another factor to consider is the opposition's DB play, if the DB has great man-to-man skills the WR will have a hard time getting open. On the other side, if you have a strong OL and WR group and throw lots of short passes, you can have pretty good success even with a QB in the 60's.

Another factor you have control over is the depth of the passes - the further the QB throws the ball, the greater the variance of its path and the more likely it will get intercepted. Also, if you throw too much, your QB will fatigue and start to lose his accuracy even if he is the best in the business.

I believe Brady had like 5-6 INT against KC in the 4th game of the season, It happens
