PLEASE Do Something About the Ridiculous Interception Rate in This Game

The number of games I have witnessed, where there are more than 4 Interceptions per game, is ridiculous. Please look into a way to fix that. I would rather watch a team punt the ball 20 times, than watch them throw 4, 5, 6, and even 7 Interceptions in a single game. Idk if I am the only one that feels this way or not.

1 way to fix this is dont be throwing the ball at all nor throwing the football until the QB's arm falls of.

though maybe if we could set up the Pass by running the football first then sprinkle in some passes then maybe we wouldnt have outrageous ridiclous interception totals by the QBS.

kinda of like the option offenses like Air Force , Army , Navy , etc. where they run and run the ball down your throat then once you stop that or think you have stopped it they throw a in wiinkle in that by passing .

i do still say if we could set up the pass by running the ball then pass after we have established a running game then maybe we wouldnt have too terrible interceptions.

though probably we would have to have control over this or at least have it in our settings somewhere to make this successful.

What would you define as ridiculous? If people are throwing deep every down they are inherently exposing themselves to more turnovers, if you're throwing 1000 times in a season don't expect to finish the season with under 10 interceptions. Are we basing this thread off of raw numbers on a high number of passing attempts or actual percentages?

If I throw a shitty QB out there and throw 50-60 times a game then I'm probably going to accept that interceptions will happen.

51 rated default QB here - https://nfl-league.myfootballnow.com/player/565

Last season - 358 completions/575 attempts, 62.3% complete, 5393 yards, 25 sacks, 48 TDs, 10 ints.

Sure it's just one example, and I've had high int seasons but it seems to be play calling and quality of QB for the most part in my experience.

Seems like it could be a combination of things, pretty weak WR group, the QB is barely completing 50% and it could have simply been a few very poor games. He has twice is many as the 2nd guy in the league in terms of ints. That guy has 9 ints on 182 attempts for an int rate of 4.9%, which is ugly but definitely not historically so by NFL standards.

It sucks but one really bad season in one league should not directly lead to game changes, because as a whole ints do not seem to be a problem when you consider how pass happy the game is right now.

3 consecutive 5+ INT games.....3 consecutive. This isn't the only league I'm seeing this in.
