Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a awesome performance by Ben Roethlisberger, we almost tripled Square357 at the quarterback position this past week (26 points to 9). Roethlisberger went 25-for-29 for 282 yards and two TDs in a 24-21 loss to the Raiders.
Square357
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern. Having said that, Greg Zuerlein went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Square357 lost the matchup by 2 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
