Coach Talk

No Limit Bowler
Earning the win is most important, No Limit Bowler, but we also know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our quarterback was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Dak Prescott went 25-of-32 for 405 yards and four touchdowns for Barbara's Team, and all Baker Mayfield could produce was a 25-for-38 outing, with 285 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions). Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Barbara's Team
Unless Barbara's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 27 targets in Week 1. With only 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
