Slytherin's fall short of expectations, lose to Nefarious Pilchers, 173.35-144.31

There's no sugarcoating it, Slytherin's underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Nefarious Pilchers earned a 173.35-144.31 victory. Nefarious Pilchers nabbed a 55.00-point lead on Thursday behind 35.5 points from Jared Goff (395 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Tyler Lockett (4 Rec, 51 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Marlon Mack (132 Rush Yds, 16 Rec Yds) and Derrick Henry (78 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) carried the flag for Slytherin's in the loss. Nefarious Pilchers (3-2) will look to maintain their winning ways against socioPathogens, while Slytherin's (3-2) face Sepulcher of Doom in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Nefarious Pilchers
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Nefarious Pilchers. It takes a certain kind of gumption to play a starter with zero points (Jurrell Casey), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Slytherin's
Just one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Brett Maher might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
