Yeah, agreed. At least one. I hate streaks.

He can do it during this game. So yeah the streak is definitely Brady's for the taking. He is playing the best ball of his life recently so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he he does it.

Lol just as I feared he didnt throw enough against the Packers... one more chance next week! But for what it is worth Brady does now own the record for consecutive attempts without an INT in a single season. Which means Kosars record was apparently set between the 1990 and 1991 seasons.

Oh and I guess I didnt jinx him due to the fact that defenders continue to drop easy picks thrown at their hands, almost like he is destined to break this record.

Well Deus, there's a lot of ways I can counter your analysis.

Lets try this first:

Who would you rather have all else being equal:

(A) Player X who has a 2% int rate over 200 throws, with picks in throws number 1 and 180, 185 200.

(B) Player Y who has a 1% int rate over 200 throws, with picks in throw #100 and #200.

Sounds like you think player A is more accomplished since his streak of 180 passes is 44% longer than Player B.

Clearly the int rate, the TD/int and various other metrics are way more important than the actual sequence that the numbers are accumulated.

Brady is the best in this analysis, between 2010 and 2007, probably the 2 best seasons ever, which is amazing. But the actual streak does not factor into this statement whatsoever.

In less of an analytical light and more of an intuitive one, think about how Brady's streak started. After a hail mary - hardly a reflection of TB12 acumen at the position.

Conversely, Urlacher and Woodson have both dropped sure INTs in the last 50 of his passes, a clear reflection that TB12 actually made a few questionable throws in my option.

The streak is bogus. The mere fact that nobody here (dont dare lie) even knew who held the record before this season is an accurate reflection on its relevance.

If every Team's DB's keeps wearing gloves made of Flubber than yes.

1. Bernie Kosar (308) [1990-1991]
2. Bart Starr (294) [1964-1965]
3. Tom Brady (292) [2010]

17 more attempts without an interception today and Brady will have the record.

I think this shows one of the reasons. Tom throws so hard. Every pass under 20 yards is a bullet. With no bombs to Randy the easier passes to catch speed wise are gone.

Sure, this streak needs a lot of luck as we have all seen, but it still also requires good throws and good judgment. While I don't really much care about it, I want Brady to get it. If nothing else, it means we have had less turnovers and thus a better chance to win games.
