Coach Talk

Heavy Pettine
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Heavy Pettine! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was severely outplayed this past week. Ben Roethlisberger went 22-of-25 for 328 yards and five touchdowns for S.E. Vikings, and all Patrick Mahomes could manage through the air was 249 yards and two passing scores. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 11!
S.E. Vikings
Don't beat yourself up too badly, S.E. Vikings! Take my word for it (coming from a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
