Coach Talk

Blacula's Bums
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Blacula's Bums! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our QB was significantly outmatched by the opposition. Drew Brees went 22-of-25 for 265 yards and three touchdowns for Project Mayhem, and all Philip Rivers could manage through the air was 223 yards and two passing TDs (plus an ugly interception). We need to put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
