Coach Talk

Mike's Team
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Russell Wilson, we tripled SuperbPremonitions at the quarterback position this past week (43.34 points to 14.3). Wilson went 32-for-50 for 406 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 33-27 loss to the Saints.
SuperbPremonitions
Chin up, SuperbPremonitions! You can feel good knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Mike's Team succeed this week... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in the 2020 draft (...something like that).
