Coach Talk

BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a solid outing from Matt Ryan, we royally dominated Darkhorse198 at the quarterback position this past week (34.26 points to 7.58). Ryan was a bright spot in a close loss to the Bengals, going 29-of-39 for 419 yards and three passing TDs.

Look, we've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay; maybe asking for an extra 43 points is a bit overzealous. Keep pushing forward, Darkhorse198!
