Opening day - Joe threw 2 interceptions to the defense, 2 others tipped at the line.
Baltimore - Joe threw right at Queen.
Until today every other interception was tipped. (let me know if Im wrong)
Todays game, for some unknown reason Boyd stopped his route and Chase missed the hot route call.
No doubt these are all part of the game.... but if Joe can avoid so many tips he could definitely pull off some sub 5 interception seasons in the future. He was definitely on today.

Throwing 52 times doesn't help the cause. Burrow is a great QB but stuff happens. Boyd definitely should've had the first one though. It is what it is. The pick 6 hurt because it really gave NE life when we should've been sticking the dagger in. But hey, we're still 11-4 and that is a beautiful thing.

Any INT that hits a defender's hand first is the QB's fault IMO. Tipped or not.

That Chase throw was definitely a TO worthy throw by Joe. End of the day he saw what Chase did and threw. If that back shoulder fade is picked off again I’m still going to blame the QB because he didn’t have to throw it

Actually the replay showed that he threw it before Chase was supposed to make the cut, like he does on every one of the timing out routes. It wasn't remotely a back shoulder throw, not sure why people are saying this? If it was it would have been much closer to Chase.
This one is absolutely on Chase if Joe called the audible which it looked like he did.

Not accepting outside opinions at this time. Feel free to offer responses congratulating me on enlightening the board with semi-interesting facts or quotes that are in full agreement with the inarguable truth of the original post. Thanks

The throw to Mixon in triple coverage in the corner of the endzone should have been intercepted. Shocked it wasn't.

That was a head scratcher, although he wasnt initially in triple coverage but as the ball arrived so did two more defenders, regardless the man on Mixon was all over him... if we are going to play jump ball, lets play with Tee.
