Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a awesome display by Andrew Luck, we doubled up Pyramid of Greatness at the quarterback position this past week (24.56 points to 9.98). Luck went 27-for-41 for 399 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a three-point victory over the Texans.
Pyramid of Greatness
Keep your chin up, Pyramid of Greatness! Look, we've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay; hoping for an additional 21 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
