I think

4 does seem right. I think it was 3 going into last weeks game and then he made that bad decision towards the end of the 4th. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

that's correct

But one of those INTs came before he was starter. It was in the SD game when he came on for the injured Pennington. If you look in the 2nd table under STATS, they have Henne listed with 4 INTs. They were just stressing his job as a starter in the NOTES section.

hey

hey fire guy, yeah that was a kick ass game. Looks like all Peezy needed was a little motivation to show us all why he can still play…guy was a beast out there tonight! And Ricky, I dont even know where to start…he is still just the man (just dont make him the QB in the wildcat formation).
