It probably is an "area of focus" and no one is more focused on this than Tom Brady...
There are times that he and his receivers seem out of sync, wonder if missing the OTA's robbed him of valuable opportunity to work on timing.. otoh maybe not and this is just an aberration..
I went and looked at the highlights from every game. Now, I’m a complete homer and wear blinders but I will say roughly half of the interceptions are Brady’s fault. I counted four that are not questionable. There’s the other portion where it seemed more like a ****up by the receiver
Yeah, with more pass attempts more interceptions usually follow. A more relevant statistic might be INTs/PA. And let's hope that as the weather becomes colder, those teams who play in domes and in the south start seeing their TOs rise, especially when they're on the road, and the Pats TOs hold steady.In this era of the NFL morphing into passketball, more interceptions are sure to follow.

However, it appears that TOs are more damaging to us because our defense seems practically incapable of holding the other guys to punts or even FGs whenever we do turn the ball over to them. That's the issue with which I have the most concern.
Ya know. It’s really irritating how you derail every single thread with math and ****.So, the four that are unquestionably on Brady = 9 INTs when extrapolated for the full 16-game season. Add back the three "freakish" WR bobbles into the awaiting hands of a defender, and the total comes to 12 (assuming there are no more of those) for the season.
The last season in which Brady threw as many as 12 INTs was 2011. Since then, he's averaged about 8/yr.
For comparison, among current starting QBs, there are
- three with 10 picks each
- four with 8
- three others besides Brady with 7
- and seven guys with 6.
In 2017, half the starting QBs in the league had 12 or more INTs.
Since the year you chose, 2011, brady has had 10 streaks of 3 games or more without an int, almost 2 per year.So, the four that are unquestionably on Brady = 9 INTs when extrapolated for the full 16-game season.
