Coach Talk

NoDirtyLandry
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Jared Goff, we utterly dominated CowboyUp2016 at the quarterback position this past week (40 points to 15). Goff went 28-for-40 for 391 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 45-35 loss to the Saints.
CowboyUp2016
Yo, CowboyUp2016, what did your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing only 16 targets as a group in Week 9, our four wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
