At the end of the day it is a team sport and the team did not play well. Plenty of blame to go around. With that said not all Int's are 100% on the QB. Looked like bad play designs, bad personnel choice putting Cooks in a route he is not good at running, poor decision or bad throw and good defensive play.
There’s always several contributing factors .
Just like TD passes which the QB gets credit can often be more credited to the play design, the route run , the excellent reception and or poor defense.
All int’s can have equally distributed factors like tipped balls, receivers running wrong route, slipping or great defensive effort. In the end though they are a stat the QB has to live with regardless the circumstances. And some QB’s have a better sense or instinct for those situations to avoid the mishaps whether it’s avoiding a sack, fumble or interception.
Did our QB make the best decision in those circumstances. Could they have been avoided. That can be debated. There’s always room for discussion . No doubt many int’s aren’t the QB’s fault.
I also know teams can overcome those poor decisions or circumstances . We didn’t . Partly because our defense performed so poorly as well . But it’s often difficult to overcome the swings in momentum those circumstances present. Especially against playoff caliber teams.
Both sides of the ball performed poorly that day. It was a total team turd. I blame all 53 players and coaching. They all have to own up.
